Walk-In Physicals for Adults & Children Throughout the Area

Are you (or your child) due for a physical? If so, there’s no need to squeeze in an appointment at a bustling primary care center with limited availability that closes at 5 p.m. sharp. Instead, simply walk into one of our five convenient Erlanger Express Care locations when it works for your busy schedule. Many of our fully equipped urgent care centers are open every day during convenient hours, and they all offer walk-in physicals to adults and children six months old and up.

Streamlined Services for Your Physical Exam

When visiting Erlanger Express Care for a physical, no appointment is necessary. You can simply walk in whenever it is convenient for you to receive the health services you need. Additionally, you can check in online to streamline your visit, helping to minimize your wait time so that you can quickly receive the health services you need.

Types of Physicals We Available at Erlanger Express Care

Not all physicals are the same, and many are tied to a specific form, deadline, or job requirement. Whether you need documentation for work, school, athletics, or occupational clearance, walk-in physicals can help you stay on track without having to rearrange your schedule. Erlanger Express Care makes it easier to complete required exams quickly, especially when you’re juggling work hours, family needs, or time-sensitive paperwork. Whether you check in online or simply drop by one of our walk-in clinics, you or a loved one will be able to receive any of the following types of physicals:

• Sports physicals
• Pre-employment or employment physicals, including certified Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals
• Respirator medical clearance exams
• Pulmonary function tests
• Vision screenings

To keep your visit moving smoothly, bring any forms you need completed, a photo ID, and a list of medications or recent medical history if applicable. If your employer, school, or organization has specific guidelines, having those details ready can prevent delays.

Pre-Employment Physicals at Urgent Care

Pre-employment exams often include health screening and documentation needed before you can start a new role. Choosing pre-employment physicals at urgent care can be a practical option when you need a faster turnaround.

Fitness for Duty Physicals for Workplace Clearance

Some jobs require confirmation that an individual can safely perform essential tasks, particularly when a role involves physical demands. Fitness for duty physicals help employers and employees confirm readiness for work responsibilities in a timely, structured way.

DOT Physical Walk-In Exams for Drivers

If you need a medical exam for commercial driving, having access to a DOT physical walk-in option can be a huge benefit. These exams are typically tied to compliance requirements and often come with strict documentation standards. A walk-in approach can help drivers meet deadlines without waiting for an appointment window that doesn’t align with route schedules or dispatch demands.

School Sports Physical Exams for Students

Students participating in athletics often need clearance before they can practice or compete. School sports physical exams can be completed on a walk-in basis, making it easier for families to check this item off the list before tryouts, seasonal start dates, or school enrollment deadlines.

What to Expect During a Physical

When you visit one of our five Erlanger Express Care locations for any of the different types of physicals we offer, you’ll know you’re in good hands. Depending on the type of physical you need, you can expect our medical specialists to review your family history, personal health history, and current vital signs. Additional physical examinations will depend on the type of physical you need.

A physical exam is also a good time to discuss any ailments or symptoms you may be experiencing to determine the best way to address them.  Additionally, we can provide vaccines and other wellness services as needed during your visit.
