For many jobs, getting a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical or even a pre-employment physical is mandatory. At American Family Care clinics, we make it easy and convenient. Employees can simply walk into one of our clinics seven days a week. We’re open early morning and late evening hours.

Certified Medical Examinations for Commercial Drivers 

As mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, our DOT Physicals are performed by a Certified Medical Examiner (CME) following a strict process. Anyone who wants to operate an interstate or intrastate commercial motor vehicle must pass a DOT Physical. We strongly recommend you bring a list of medications and any relevant cardiac or neurological medical records. This will help our CME take those health conditions into consideration. DOT physicals include: 

• Check your blood pressure
• Examine your ears
• Perform a vision test
• Look at your mouth and throat for breathing or swallowing problems
• Perform a neurological exam 
• Check for spine deformities
• Listen to your heart and lungs
• Conduct urinalysis
• Perform a hernia check
• Press on your abdomen to check for abnormalities

Walk-In Pre-Employment Physicals 

Pre-employment physicals are an important tool for employers and employees alike. These complete physical exams ensure that new employees can tolerate the physical requirements of the job. They also serve to advise employees of possible undiagnosed health issues. Our pre-employment physicals include: 

• Review of both occupational and medical history
• Musculoskeletal examination
• Evaluation of the respiratory system
• Examination of head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat
• Hearing and vision testing
• Blood pressure
