Frankston Private Hospital is a private hospital in Frankston, in the medical precinct around Frankston Hospital. It offers day surgery, procedures and specialist services for privately insured patients from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.
Because so much of its work is planned day procedures, a typical patient arrives in the morning, has a procedure, and is ready to go home by the afternoon, often still drowsy and not allowed to drive. Getting home safely matters, and it is not always easy to find someone free to wait around for a few hours. Patients are commonly told they need a responsible adult to accompany them home, so having a booked ride arranged before admission removes one worry from the day. Some patients also return for follow-up consultations with their specialist in the weeks that follow.
Taxi Peninsula fits neatly around a day procedure. Book a sedan for the trip in, then a “pick up when ready” trip home, and tap “I’m ready” once the nurses have discharged you. If you use a wheelchair, choose a wheelchair accessible van or a Maxi WAT. Our drivers help door to door, and we accept MPTP cards, NDIS and aged-care accounts.
