A Convenient Source for DOT Physicals Near Champion Forest, TX
Periodic DOT physicals for commercial drivers are not only mandated but also important for safety reasons. These exams are designed to make sure commercial drivers are physically fit to do their job, and that provides protection for the drivers who are tested as well as others on the road. However, many commercial drivers have demanding schedules that make it difficult to fulfill this requirement at a doctor’s office with traditional weekday hours. Fortunately for those in the Champion Forest, Texas, area, Medella Urgent Care is located only a few miles away in Vintage Park, and we offer DOT physicals with same-day appointments every day of the week, including weekends. If you need a DOT physical exam, simply use our convenient online booking service to schedule your appointment. We also accept walk-in patients, and our wait times are short.
What to Expect With a DOT Physical at Our Urgent Care Clinic
For the most part, a DOT physical is much like the annual physical exam you might receive at your primary care doctor’s office. We’ll check your blood pressure, pulse, motor skills and coordination, reflexes, and mouth and throat, as well as listen to your heart and lungs to make sure no abnormalities are detected. However, there are some important aspects of your health that we will pay special attention to. These include your hearing and vision, so if you wear a hearing aid, glasses, or contact lenses, make sure you bring them with you when you come to our urgent care clinic for a DOT physical. Additionally, our DOT physicals include collecting urine samples for drug screening.
