DOT Medical Exams

Dr. Petersen is trained and certified in Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration physical qualification standards and is included in the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. He performs these physicals for both individual drivers and company fleets. For your convenience, we can typically schedule these exams within 1 or 2 days from the time you call.  Please allow for at least 45 minutes for your DOT Physical appointment.

Our office provides the required DOT Medical Examination Report and Certificate forms.  The thorough examination includes a review of your health history, a urine test (to check for blood and/or sugar in the urine.  It is NOT a drug test), and a simple physical exam. 

Payment is due at the time of your appointment.  Charges for your DOT Physical will not be submitted to insurance carriers.  Corporate Fleet rates and payment arrangements may be available.  Please contact Petersen Chiropractic Center for more information.
