DOT & Physical Exams

Our DOT and general physical exams are structured to keep you safe to work, give you clarity about your health, and help you meet employer or licensing requirements without feeling rushed or unheard. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of nursing experience, I approach every exam as both a regulatory requirement and an opportunity to catch early warning signs before they become bigger issues. For Department of Transportation (DOT) exams, we follow federal guidelines step by step: reviewing your medical history and medications, checking vision and hearing, measuring blood pressure and vital signs, and screening for conditions that could affect safe driving. We talk through any chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, and discuss how to manage them so you can stay on the road safely whenever possible.

For work, school, or pre-employment physicals, we tailor the visit to the forms and tests your employer or program requires. This may include a full physical exam, immunization review, and basic screening tests. We make sure your paperwork is completed accurately and promptly, and we explain any abnormal findings in clear language so you leave with a solid understanding of your next steps.

You can expect a professional, respectful environment where your privacy is protected and questions are encouraged. If we identify concerns that need follow-up, we can often continue that care here through our primary care and wellness services, saving you extra visits elsewhere.

Whether you are renewing a commercial driver's certificate or starting a new job, our goal is to make your physical exam straightforward, educational, and supportive of your long-term health.
