Medical Transportation in Stone Mountain, Georgia
DeKalb County · 30083, 30087, 30088 · about 11.8 miles and 19 minutes from our Decatur base in typical conditions
Stone Mountain spreads across three ZIP codes and a lot of ground, from the village at the base of the mountain out to Smoke Rise and the Rockbridge subdivisions. It is 11.8 miles and about 19 minutes from our base, mostly along Memorial Drive. All three of its registered dialysis units sit on a half-mile stretch of that same road — 5235, 5329 and 5723 Memorial Drive — which is convenient and also the source of a lot of wrong-address confusion.
Insurance and private pay. Heart2Heart bills insurance for medically necessary transports such as dialysis, wound care and emergency-department related trips — coverage depends on the plan and is not guaranteed, and we can’t confirm accepted plans or authorization rules online. Rides booked and paid for directly on this website are paid by card at booking. We are not a Georgia Medicaid NEMT provider. If you have Medicaid transportation benefits, Georgia’s broker Verida arranges those rides at no cost to you — call 404-209-4000 (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett) or 678-510-4555 (North Georgia), at least 3 business days ahead. Heart to Heart does not bill the VA or accept VA benefits as payment. Veterans may book and pay privately. For transportation arranged or paid for by the VA, contact your VA facility’s Beneficiary Travel office before booking.
Dialysis centers we serve in Stone Mountain
Addresses and station counts below come from the federal dialysis facility register.
5235 Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain 30083 · 16 stations

Three dialysis units, three different operators, one road
DaVita Mountain Park Dialysis is at 5235 Memorial Drive with 16 stations. Veritas Dialysis is at 5329 Memorial Drive Suite B with 20. Fresenius Kidney Care Stone Mountain is at 5723 Memorial Dr with 20. Three operators, 56 stations, all inside a half-mile.
The practical consequence is that "the dialysis place on Memorial" describes three different buildings. When you book, give us the street number. Each unit has its own page here with the verified address, suite and phone number taken from the federal register.
Smoke Rise and the far ZIPs are a real distance
A Stone Mountain Village address and a Smoke Rise or 30087 address are not the same trip. The eastern and northern edges add several miles and, on US 78 at the wrong hour, a good deal of time. Hugh Howell Road and Silver Hill Road are the usual alternatives when the freeway is stacked.
Because we price on measured driving mileage rather than a flat city rate, a further address costs more and a closer one costs less. The quote tool reflects that with your actual addresses rather than a city average.
Hospital destinations split north and south
Emory Hillandale in Lithonia and Emory Decatur are the usual destinations for the southern and western parts of Stone Mountain. Households on the Gwinnett side often go to Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville instead, which is a longer drive and worth confirming at booking rather than assuming.
We are an independent transportation company, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or contracted to any of these hospitals. Longer cross-county trips are billed on the same base-plus-mileage formula as short ones.
Facilities, apartments and the practical notes we want
Stone Mountain has a substantial number of skilled nursing, personal care and memory care facilities along the Memorial Drive and Rockbridge corridors, and a lot of garden apartments. For facilities, the unit or wing name gets the crew to the patient instead of the lobby. For apartments, the building number does the same.
Everything is private pay and quoted up front. If a stair chair or a bariatric-rated stretcher is needed, tell us at booking so the right vehicle is assigned the first time.
