DOT Physical Exam (CDL Medical Exam)

DOT physical and CDL medical exam in Houston, TX. Walk in, 100% in Spanish, same-day certificate and affordable pricing for truck drivers.

If you drive commercial vehicles you need a current DOT physical exam. At Clínica Hispana Cruz #3 we perform it with no appointment, in Spanish, and hand you your medical certificate the same day.

What's included?

  • Vision and hearing screening
  • Blood-pressure check
  • Urinalysis (glucose and protein, not a drug test)
  • DOT-required physical exam
  • Medical-history review
  • Same-day DOT medical certificate and driver medical card

For commercial drivers

The exam is required to obtain or renew your CDL, whether you drive a truck, a bus or haul hazardous materials. We explain every step in Spanish and speed up the process so you get back on the road soon.

DOT medical exam near you in Houston

Many drivers search for a DOT medical exam or a DOT physical: it is the same exam the Department of Transportation requires for commercial vehicle drivers. We do it Monday through Sunday, walk-in, in southwest Houston, with free parking.

What to bring on exam day

  • Photo ID
  • A list of the medications you take
  • Glasses or hearing aids if you use them
  • If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea, recent documents or results from your treatment

How long the certificate lasts

The exam is done in a single visit. A standard certificate is valid for 2 years; if you have controlled high blood pressure or diabetes without insulin, the medical team may issue it for 1 year. We recommend renewing at least 2 weeks before it expires so you don't lose work days. If your employer also requires a drug and alcohol test, we can do it in the same visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Up to two years, but the examiner can issue a shorter card when a condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes needs closer follow-up. Note the expiration date and come in a few weeks early, because driving a commercial vehicle with an expired medical card can put your CDL status at risk.

It helps a lot. Bring recent notes from the provider who treats you, and your CPAP usage report if you use one, so the examiner can see the condition is well managed. Without that paperwork, the exam may end with a request for more information instead of a card, which means a second trip.

The vision check measures how sharply you see with each eye and both together, your side vision, and whether you can tell apart the red, green and amber of traffic signals. Hearing is tested with a forced whisper at a set distance or with an audiometer. Wear the same glasses, contacts or hearing aid you rely on behind the wheel.
