At a time that this kind of service is necessary, my nerves are raw and I am on the edge. A good friend of mine needed transportation from the hospital to the rehab facility, and I was unable to be present during the transport. Greg, the owner of Uplift Transport kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Explained to me who is doing what, when and how. I felt that the service provided was the next best thing to being there. I heard from my friend that he had a good time during the ride, and that he felt perfectly taken care off. I hope, that I will not need Gregs service on a regular basis, but if I do, I will go straight to Uplift Transport. I recommend Uplift to anyone in need of medical transportation - gurney or wheelchair. read more

I used Uplift to pickup a guest speaker for our office. It was an absolute fantastic experience. Our guest and his wife were very pleased with the service they received and couldn't have been happier. I picked this service because I really like the fact that the passenger can sit up front. Will definitely use them again if needed in the future. read more

I called for a simple hospital to hospital transfer that should have taken a half hour. But both hospitals were slammed and understaffed plus the traffic was horrible. The poor driver had to wait for an hour to pick up my 94 year old father because staff were slow to process him. Then he had to wait another hour at the new hospital ER. He even had to leave his wheelchair at the new hospital because they didn't have any gurneys available. He had to go back the next day to pick it up. The driver was tied up for nearly three hours and he didn't charge any extra. That's what I call a trooper. read more

As a caregiver we use these transport services quite a bit. I have never experienced a service with such an amazing amount of integrity, friendliness and promptness. If you want a reliable driver and someone who shows up on time no matter what.....even on a holiday then hire this company. I was very impressed and will recommend them to everyone I know who can use this service. Thank you to Daniel and Uplift Transport. read more

Getting Mom safely down to assisted living in Brea from San Luis Obispo was a challenge: six hour drive, L.A. traffic, etc. So I heard about Uplift, which offered a long distance gurney transport, which seemed like the most comfortable and safest way for her to travel. In addition, Greg offered to find a caregiver who would be able to tend to her needs during the entire ride. Ambulances are certainly not cheap, but who would risk an aged loved one with an amateur? I would describe the experience as one with a professional, courteous and straightforward manner. Mom even enjoyed the trip. read more

A truly first-class business made up of capable, caring folks that ensure safety and well being for those that need it.

Grateful to have found these guys, and recommend them with pride. read more

What a great experience. I got to see the team at the destination site. I heard they did a wonderful job with my mother and LOTS of stairs. What I saw was a caring, compassionate well trained duo, that was concerned with the comfort of my mother over ANYTHING else! Even with a difficult driveway, always professional. I would recommend this service to anyone in need. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

Thank you Uplift Transport for safety getting my grandpa to see my grandma on New Year's Day! I would highly recommend Uplift Transport to get your loved ones where they need to go. They are very professional and gave quick responses to our questions. Everything was very efficient! read more

I left a Yelp review 8 months ago when Uplift transport was hired to take my husband from his Skilled Nursing Facility to dialysis on MWF. You would think after all this time, I would have at least one negative comment to say. Well guess what, I don't. Uplift was on time picking up and delivering my husband back to his facility over 96 times. Every single driver was kind and courteous and made my husband smile. Throughout our time with Uplift, Gregg the owner, would pick up on occasion. Ron and I felt like he was part of our family. Even though our need for transport has ended (which is a good thing), we will miss these guys tremulously. Thank you Gregg, you are the best. read more

We needed a company to help my mother down her mobile home stairs for an appointment. Another company suggested Uplift. Greg, the owner, was very accommodating for a next day appointment. Daniel, our driver, was kind and courteous. He was able to help my mom and get us to the appointment on time. The van was very comfortable. Daniel's a great guy and we wouldn't hesitate calling again. read more

Greg was helpful and very courteous. Looking forward to using Uplift Transport in the future!

Great service. The owner himself answers the phone every time and makes sure every detail is taken care of. You are in good hands with this company. read more

Greg and his team are the best. We have used the service several times, including during demanding traffic hours and the recent heavy rains and have always felt like we were in good hands. They are caring, professional and highly skilled. This is not just a transport-and-drop-off service. They go above and beyond. read more

Use for my mom transportation needs Caring and Helpful great service vans

While in Newport my wife had an accident and broke her hip and had to have surgery at Hoag hospital, Upon her release we had no idea on how we were going to get her back to our house. I found Greg on line and reached out to him. This turned out to be the greatest thing that could of happened. He is already the hospitals choice for patient travel and worked seamlessly with them to arrange for my wife to be released. His staff went above and beyond in getting her into our house and comfortable. We used uplift again for her doctor follow up and now for our transportation to the airport. Greg runs a fantastic company that I highly recommend and while I hope to not need his services in the future he would be my first call if needed. Thanks Todd Barrett read more

I spoke to Greg about ongoing wheelchair transport for our father. He was very kind and assured me that they would provide a door-through-door highly assisted service and make sure our dad was treated just like family. We have been using the service now for the last 4 months and are very happy and would highly recommend this service to any friends or family as the best non emergency medical transportation in Orange County. They are very passionate about helping their clients and really do CARE! read more

I've worked with Greg for a few months now and do not hesitate to recommend him personally and his company UpLift Transport. I love his slogan, "Door THROUGH door service". He is personable and extremely reliable. You can be comfortable putting your loved ones into his hands -- they will be treated as if you were driving them. (Maybe better!) read more

Greg, a Veteran, is extremely professional and truly passionate about offering a world class transportation service to seniors and people with need for some extra care. His vehicle is extremely clean and new and very comfortable. He treats all of his clients with respect and dignity and helps them to go places that they wouldn't be able to get to otherwise! I would highly recommend Uplift Transport to my parents or anyone that has a need for a ride with some extra attention! read more

Gracious, compassionate and generous is all that is required to say. However, Gregg and his team were available for us on minutes notice. A friend of mine and I decided to buy a used motorized wheelchair for a man we saw in our community. He had lost his left leg and was moving around with a manual wheelchair. We found a motorized wheelchair but had no way of transporting the 300 lb wheelchair about 20 miles away. Gregg and his staff (Mike) donated the pick up of the wheelchair and delivery to the address required. Gregg would not take one dime for the trip and Mike would not even take a tip from us. I have never been moved to crying for the generosity someone bestowed on me but this time I was overwhelmed of his generosity and cried. We had collected enough from friends and family to pay for the trip however, Like I said Greg gave explicit instructions not to take a dime from us. We all live in low income housing and on social security so any donation was great. Not having to pay him for the trip allowed me to repay my friend for her donation who did not really have the budget to pay for the wheelchair. This is truly a blessing for us and the man the motorized wheelchair provided for the him. The compassion and generosity shown by Gregg and Mike (the driver) is definitely over and beyond. I would highly recommend this company. I have used other companies in the past but this company is AWESOME!!! read more

We recently hired Greg Krueger and his company Uplift Transport to use for the ongoing wheelchair transportation of my elderly mother. He has provided responsive, consistent, courteous and above and beyond service for her on a weekly basis. He comes into the home, assists her in getting into her chair, out of the house and into the van and then takes her into her appointments and waits. My mother has a variety of special medical needs and Greg has done an excellent job in accommodating those needs. I recommend Uplift Transport for anyone requiring medical or disabled transport. read more

They picked my 97 year old Ma from Hoag hospital, they were great, driver was friendly, my Ma liked him a lot

Made the appointment and pick up time with Greg who explained the whole process. They were on time, safety was a priority, professional, and Daniel was a very nice driver. After the Dr. appointment they were there to pick up, on time. A very difficult process with a wheelchair-bound mother, made incredibly easy and zero stress. I highly recommend them. read more

Got stuck without transportation again and it was uplift to the rescue! Daniel is an amazing driver who understands the needs of someone in a wheelchair when inertia is an issue. Greg is awesome! Cannot recommend these people highly enough. read more

Please read this review, this shows the integrity of this company...my 88 grandmother whom of which I care for took a very quick decline. I was scrambling for two days to try to get her care but since she couldn't walk, I couldn't take her to her PCP and her PCP was not being compliant to her needs and downright mean. After numerous phone calls, I was given Greg's number by Hoag hospital. In talking to Greg (well more like venting and confused and stressed) explaining to him that I may need to take her to urgent care just to try to get some direction because she refused the hospital. Greg was patient and gentle, and explained that he is no medical professional but he would reach out to a friend and have them call me to help guide me. Within 5 minutes, Sandra from Essence Hospice called me. She told me that my grandmother qualified for Hospice and she would handle getting the doctors orders. She was even able to give me a caregiver service reference. Within a few hours I had accomplished what I spent two days trying to accomplish with another company. Greg kindly followed up to make sure I had everything I needed. With two toddlers and a grandmother declining the amount of stress is insurmountable but as I told Greg, he was a God send. I still firmly believe that. He could have easily just transported my grandmother to the doctor, taken our money and wiped his hands clean of us but instead he offered help which didn't include a transport. Now that my grandmother is wheelchair bound, he has earned a loyal client and I hope that anyone else that needs transport will use his services. I am forever grateful for his kindness and integrity. read more

This is an amazing crew of people that get you to your appointment on time, they have Awesome personalities !

Thank you guys for helping me get to my appointment on time! read more

I needed medical transportation within 45 minutes and the owner, Greg Krueger, came through for a first time user. We used the service for 3 weeks. Huy, the driver was compassionate and kind to my brother who is elderly and recovering from an auto accident. Greg cheerfully accommodated changes to the schedule and often on short notice. I highly recommend Uplift Transport for non-emergency,did all transport. read more

If I could give this company 11 stars I would. I have NEVER met such a kind driver. He went ABOVE and beyond transporting one of our hospital patients home. I wish I could tell the entire world to choose this company. read more

I have used this transportation service twice now. I cannot say enough for the passion that Greg and his drivers have for what they do. Vinny and Greg have been wonderful helping me get a severely handicap women to and from doctor appointments. They go above and beyond what is expected. They are more than door to door. They help me get her out into a wheelchair and back again. They will always be my go to place when I need to get somewhere. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help getting around. You won't be disappointed. read more

Uplift Transport is the best of the best! We have used them several times, and they consistently provide excellent service. Even when faced with unusual, difficult obstacles (such as needing to carry a 250-pound man in a wheelchair up a stairway with a sharp turn in the middle), they come through beautifully! Greg and his team are always on time, dependable, professional and, perhaps most important, very caring. Their quality is beyond compare, and I would trust them to transport you or your loved one capably and compassionately! read more

After using a different service that left me stranded several times, I feel fortunate that Kaiser introduced me to Greg and Uplift Transport! It has been difficult to find reliable transportation for my completely non-ambulatory father who suffers from dementia. Greg was so helpful and made arranging transport for my dad a breeze. I knew after our first conversation that he would be our future driver. He made my Dad feel very comfortable and even followed up with me to let me know the ride home from the hospital went smoothly. Greg seems to genuinely care and connect with his clients. read more

Greg and his team did a great job transporting my elderly relative to an important appointment in Los Angeles and handled difficult parking and an older medical facility (small elevators and doors) with absolutely no drama. It was such a relief! read more

If I could give this company any more stars I would! This very professional and caring team are the ONLY ones I would consider to transport your loved ones. We had an "emergency" situation to get our Mom home. Timing was of the essence. This team squeezed in a 7AM transport just before their own personal appointment later that morning. The job was difficult due to the incapacitation of my Mom and multiple narrow staircases. They brought in a man powered Hoyer Lift system to carry her down themselves. They were so gentle and caring of my very scared Mom. I was so surprised when Greg started speaking with my Mom and calmed her to have trust in him. It was truly an amazing compassionate act of humanity. I wouldn't choose ANYONE ELSE if you too are in need of transportation. To top it off they called to check up on my Mom later that evening. Thank you Greg and team!!! Your service provided is priceless!!! read more

Greg, transported my dad to family functions on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, when other companies wouldn't due to the holiday. He demonstrated professionalism, knowledge and competency at all times, and showed compassion and kindness to my father. We would definitely use his services again! read more

I am so thankful for finding this transport company. The owner Gregg has always been able to schedule & accommodate a ride for every occasion as needed. I have used this service to transport my mother in her wheelchair to doctors appointments & personal occasions. Each of the drivers have been kind, gentle, accommodating & on time. I highly recommend their services. read more

My mother-in-law needed transportation from Hoag back to the rehab facility. Hoag coordinated the transport with Uplift. I was impressed when the Owner, Greg, showed up to take her back to the rehab facility. He was genuinely nice and caring and went out of his way to make her feel special. When the nurses had her ready in the wheelchair and we were getting ready to go to the elevator, Greg asked the nurse if she could have a blanket or sheet to cover her hospital gown for the trip through the hospital. That was such a caring thing to do ... wanting to make sure she had her dignity wheeling through the hospital and rehab center. I was very impressed with Greg and his company. I would highly recommend using Uplift! read more
