Learn more about what to expect, the types of physical exams we offer and how to choose the right option for you.
What to expect at your physical
A physical exam typically includes:
- Review of medical history
- Vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate
- A physical evaluation by a medical provider
Physicals help provide a snapshot of your overall health and may identify concerns that need follow-up care.
Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals
If you are a commercial driver, we offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals at select MD Now locations. These exams are required to maintain a commercial driver’s license and must meet federal standards. DOT physicals assess vision, hearing, blood pressure and overall physical health to ensure drivers are medically qualified.
What a DOT physical helps determine
DOT physicals are designed to confirm a driver is medically qualified to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. During the exam, your provider may assess:
- Vision and hearing
- Blood pressure
- Overall physical health indicators that relate to safe driving
Planning tips
For the smoothest visit, bring:
- A valid ID
- A list of current medications
- Any relevant medical history or documentation if you have an ongoing condition that may affect certification
- Any required paperwork if your employer or program provided it
Because DOT requirements are specific and not every clinic offers this service, it’s a good idea to confirm availability before you arrive.
Immigration physicals: Pinecrest location
We are proud to share that the MD Now Pinecrest location offers immigration physicals required as part of the U.S. immigration process. Immigration physicals follow specific government guidelines and may include components such as:
- Review of medical history
- Vaccination assessment and updates (when needed)
- Lab testing (as required)
- Completion of official documentation
Availability and scheduling requirements may vary, so please confirm details with the Pinecrest clinic in advance to ensure you understand what’s needed for your visit and documentation.
Sports and school physicals
MD Now clinics commonly provide sports and school physicals for children, teens and young adults. Sports and school physicals typically focus on overall health, physical fitness and the ability to safely participate in activities. These exams are often required for participation in school activities, athletic programs, camps and organized sports.
To help families prepare during peak seasons, MD Now clinics frequently offer seasonal specials on sports and school physicals, especially during back-to-school and sports registration periods. These promotions make it easier to complete required exams quickly, often without an appointment. For added convenience, use our Web Check-In® tool to save your place in line at a clinic.
The exact requirements and forms you'll need depend on the specific school system or activity. Please ensure you bring any necessary forms with you during your visit.
