Englewood DOT Physicals

DOT Physicals Available at Our Englewood Urgent Care Facility

Under federal law, operators of commercial motor vehicles are required to undergo a physical examination every two years. Our FMCSA certified medical examiners at our Englewood location can administer physical exams and issue a certificate attesting that you are physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).

What to Expect During Your DOT Physical Examination

At our Englewood urgent care facility, we want to ensure you feel fully prepared for your DOT physical examination. Understanding the process can help you approach the exam with confidence. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:

1. Documentation Review: Our certified examiner will review your health history and medication list. It’s crucial to be honest and thorough during this step as it helps us provide the best care possible.
2. Vision and Hearing Tests: These tests assess whether your vision and hearing meet the standards necessary for safe driving. If you wear glasses, contacts, or hearing aids, remember to bring them with you.
3. Urinalysis: A routine urinalysis is performed as a part of the DOT physical to screen for underlying medical conditions like diabetes.
4. Physical Examination: The examiner will conduct a general physical exam. This includes checking your blood pressure and heart rate, examining your eyes, ears, mouth, and throat, listening to your heart and lungs, assessing your reflexes, and checking for any abnormalities in your limbs or spine.
5. Certification: If you pass all the sections of the exam, the medical examiner will issue a certificate that validates you are medically fit to operate a commercial motor vehicle.

Remember, our goal is to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. If you have any concerns or questions before, during, or after your DOT physical, don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly staff.
