DOT Physical Examinations at Fast Track Urgent Care
What Does a DOT Physical Consist of?
The DOT Exam will involve a vision and hearing test, a blood test, and a urinalysis.
At Fast Track Urgent Care, we’ll guide you through a comfortable and quick DOT physical exam, which will help determine if you are fit to work as a bus driver or worker for the Department of Transportation. When you visit our urgent care center:
- You can come in on your own schedule. Sometimes, making an appointment to see your doctor isn’t possible. Maybe you can’t miss class or don’t want to lose paid time at work. Fast Track Urgent Care’s walk-in clinics make it easy for you to get the medical care you need on your schedule—when it’s convenient for you. Both of our clinic locations are open until 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and are open on Saturday and Sunday.
- You don’t need to call ahead. There is no need to make an appointment at our walk-in clinics.
- You can trust our staff. Our board-certified doctors and clinicians provide the same level of care you would get at your own doctor’s office.
- You won’t have to wait long. Typically, the wait at Fast Track Urgent Care is far shorter than the wait at the emergency room.
