DOT Physicals

A DOT physical is the medical examination required for commercial drivers to confirm they meet federal fitness-for-duty standards. The exam typically reviews vision, hearing, blood pressure, urine screening, and overall health history to check for conditions that could affect safe driving. At Quentin Medical Pc, this exam is completed using the same on-site tools we rely on for everyday primary care.

What the Exam Includes

Vision Screening — a quick eye chart and vision check to confirm the standard required for driving.
Audiometry — a basic hearing screening to check for hearing loss.
Automated Blood Pressure Monitoring — consistent, repeatable readings to review cardiovascular health.
Urinalysis — a fast screening test for infection, kidney health, and diabetes.
Digital Scale & Body Composition — accurate weight and BMI measurement as part of the overall review.
12-Lead EKG — used when a heart tracing is needed to review rhythm and rule out concerns.

Ongoing Health Needs

Because driving fitness can be affected by conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or asthma, we can also connect the exam with our chronic disease management, diabetes care, and hypertension management services if follow-up is needed. Your visit history stays organized in your electronic health record, and results are available afterward through the patient portal.
