DOT Medical Card Exams for Commercial Drivers in Chattanooga, TN
Erlanger Express Care—a trusted urgent care provider that’s been treating patients since 2019—proudly offers Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals for commercial drivers in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area. Also known as commercial driver’s license (CDL) physicals, these medical exams are a necessary part of obtaining or renewing a DOT medical card.
What to Expect During Your DOT Medical Exam
You’ve been told that you need to undergo a DOT physical exam to receive your DOT medical card. But what is a DOT physical, exactly? To determine whether you’re physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy enough to maintain a CDL, we will:
- Ask you about your medical history
- Check your vitals
- Examine your eyes, ears, mouth, throat, heart, lungs, spine, nervous system, extremities, and general appearance
If you pass the exam, we’ll electronically report your results to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) and supply you with a copy of your DOT medical card.
