Since not all patients are able to be seen in a regular clinic due to schedule conflicts, you may be wondering where to take a DOT physical in Durham, NC. FastMed is a great option for after hours and weekend appointments, and the professionals there are accustomed to giving physicals for DOT employees, truckers, and others.
The DOT physical involves vision, hearing, and blood pressure screenings. To pass, vision of at least 20/40 in each eye must be demonstrated. A certain level of hearing must also be demonstrated, and blood pressure of less than 140/90 is required. A medical history, weight, and height are measured during the DOT physical. Getting in and getting the physical usually takes less than an hour, even as a walk-in patient. Most insurances are accepted by FastMed for DOT physical exams at their Durham, NC location, and they are also open on the weekend to fit your schedule.
