About the platform

Healthcare support built around families, not systems

We started Dr. Search after watching working adults struggle to be in two places at once — at the office and beside a parent in a hospital queue.

Today we do two things well: we help you identify a suitable specialist, and we place a calm, prepared person beside the patient for the whole appointment. Our companions are not clinicians. They are the practical, reassuring presence that makes a hospital day manageable.

FAQ

Questions families ask us most

What exactly is a patient companion?
A patient companion is a trained, non-clinical assistant who accompanies a patient to a medical appointment. They help with transport arrangements, registration, queueing, moving between departments, note-taking during the consultation, collecting medication and reporting back to the family afterwards.
Is a companion the same as a nurse or caregiver?
No. Companions provide practical and emotional support only. They do not perform clinical procedures, administer injections, change dressings, give medical advice or make decisions on the patient's behalf.
Who typically uses this service?
Elderly patients attending appointments alone, families working overseas or in another state, patients recovering from surgery, people attending regular treatments such as dialysis or chemotherapy, and anyone who finds large hospitals difficult to navigate.
How much notice do you need for a booking?
We recommend at least 48 hours so we can match a suitable companion by location, language and experience. Urgent requests are accommodated where a companion is available.
Can I request a companion who speaks a specific language?
Yes. Language matching is part of our standard process. Please state the preferred language when you submit your request, and let us know if the patient is more comfortable with a companion of a specific gender.
