Hotel Shuttle Services: Some hotels may offer local shuttle service or service to the airport—ask when booking.
To minimize your daily drive, we recommend staying in North Phoenix, Anthem, Deer Valley, Desert Hills, or Cave Creek. These areas are within ~10–20 minutes of the clinic and will save you significant commute time compared to central Phoenix.
