About this service

If you drive a commercial vehicle and need to get or renew your CDL, Clínica Hispana Nueva Salud Gessner performs the DOT physical. We review your medical history, check your vision, hearing and blood pressure, complete the physical exam the DOT requires and, if you meet the standards, you leave with your medical certificate the same day.

What does the DOT physical check?

Medical history: conditions, surgeries and medications you take
Vision, each eye, with the glasses or contacts you drive with
Hearing, to confirm you can hear a spoken voice from a distance
Blood pressure and pulse
A urinalysis and a general physical: heart, lungs, abdomen, spine, reflexes and mobility

How can you prepare so nothing holds you up?

Fill out the driver's section of the form ahead of time; you can download it from the FMCSA website or complete it here. Bring your driver's license, the glasses or hearing aids you use, and a list of your medications with their doses. If you take blood pressure pills, don't skip them that day.

What if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or another condition?

Having a chronic illness doesn't mean you can't drive, but it does mean you should come prepared. If you use insulin, have sleep apnea or a heart condition, bring recent reports or test results from your follow-up care. With that information the medical team decides how long the certificate will be valid; when a condition needs closer monitoring, it may be issued for less than the maximum period. If your blood pressure or blood sugar isn't well controlled, we can also help through our chronic condition care.

How long is the medical certificate valid?

According to the FMCSA, the certificate can be valid for up to 24 months when the driver meets every standard. Write down the expiration date and come back before it arrives so you're never stuck unable to work.

For drivers who spend the week on the road, the DOT physical is available without an appointment on Saturdays and Sundays too, between 9 AM and 9 PM.
