What To Expect at Your DOT Physical at AFC Union City

When you visit the walk-in clinic for a DOT physical, a medical provider will typically conduct a physical examination of your vitas and discuss your overall medical history. This is necessary to check for any health warnings.

A few of the things that we'll look at during your physical include:

• Your vision and hearing
• A test of your urine to screen for any undiagnosed problems
• Your physical health, e.g., weight, lung health, blood pressure, balance, and so forth

If your employer requires a drug or alcohol screening, we can get that taken care of as well. AFC Urgent Care Union City is a great resource for all of your occupational health needs. We can make sure you’re up-to-date on your vaccines, keeping you safer while you’re on the road.
