DOT Physical Exams Made Simple in Galveston, TX

Do you require a certified Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam? If you are paid to drive a vehicle that’s built for more than eight people—or if you own any vehicle that is built to accommodate more than 15 passengers—you need to receive a DOT physical at least once every two years. Thankfully, Affinity Urgent Care in Galveston, Texas, makes it simple to get a DOT physical exam when it works for your busy schedule. Unlike most primary care practices that close at 5 p.m. sharp, our immediate care center is open every day during extended hours, even on the weekends.

What Does a DOT Physical Exam Involve?

DOT exams are meant to help ensure safe roadways for everyone. They’re very similar to a standard annual physical, consisting of:

• A review of personal medical history, such as past surgeries, what medications or supplements you’re currently taking, and any concerning symptoms you may be experiencing.
• A brief physical exam, which will involve assessing vision, hearing, weight, blood pressure, reflexes, gait, posture, and other key health characteristics.
• Urinalysis to check for signs of potential health concerns and whether additional testing is warranted.

Affinity Urgent Care is equipped with a digital X-ray machine, EKG machine, and lab, so our clinicians can efficiently perform many important diagnostic services on-site.
