What Are DOT Examinations?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires that all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers undergo a DOT (Department of Transportation) physical from a qualified medical examiner at least once every two years. At WellHealth Medical Associates, our licensed medical providers proudly provide DOT examinations to keep commercial drivers healthy and on the road for their work. If you're in need of a DOT physical and live in the Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI areas, schedule your next exam at our practice today.
How Do DOT Examinations Work?
Your DOT exam at WellHealth Medical Associates will begin with a review of your medical history and any current medications you might be taking. We'll then perform several tests to measure your blood pressure, heart health, vision, hearing, and more. If you pass your examination, we will issue a certificate that is good for 24 months. Please note that drivers with certain chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension) may require more frequent DOT physicals to be allowed to drive commercially.
What Are the Benefits of DOT Examinations?
The purpose of DOT examinations is to ensure that the drivers operating large commercial vehicles are in good health and present minimal risk to others on the road. A few of the benefits of regular DOT physicals at WellHealth Medical Associates include:
- Provides continued employment opportunities
- Gives our providers an opportunity to identify and address health concerns
- Ongoing management of chronic conditions
- Ensures you are compliant with all federal CMV standards
WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
Dr. Murthy is incredibly knowledgeable in treating even the most complicated health issues. I have multiple autoimmune problems and since I’ve started seeing him, he has given me my life back! He is very understanding and compassionate and his superior knowledge in rare diseases make it so easy to talk to him and get the best treatments. I never believed it was possible for me to have a life without pain and I am forever grateful to him for giving me that! His PA Dr. Olivia is the best, she is very easy to talk to and very compassionate and knowledgeable as well. The entire staff at this office are amazing 😊 My 3 year old daughter and I are always happy to go in and see everyone! They make you feel very comfortable, like you’re family 😁 This is by far the best Primary Care office I have been to in over 10 years and I’m so blessed to have found them Thank you 🙏
