D.O.T. Physicals
We perform DOT physicals in our office 7 days a week, and we are now offering on-site exams at your location. On-site examinations can significantly decrease the complications in scheduling these physicals at a remote location. If we can do the physicals on your site, we can also save you a significant amount of money.
A DOT physical exam is valid for up to 24 months. The medical examiner may also issue a medical examiner’s certificate for less than 24 months when it is desirable to monitor a condition, like high blood pressure and Diabetes.
Please feel free to contact our office. I hope that our facility can help to service your needs for your employee’s DOT physicals. I am sure that we can reduce your cost for this procedure.
Certifications are provided on the same day, and information is entered on the website as well.

CDL drivers are required to take the DOT physical exam every two years. If you have a condition that needs monitoring such as high blood pressure, or any other medical condition that jeopardizes your safety on the road, you may be required to get a physical more often. Upon successfully completing the physical, the physician in charge will give you a certificate that you can show your employer.
