DOT Physicals

 

Dr. Jeff Clayton drove commercial motor vehicles while he was going through school to become a chiropractor. Once he graduated he wanted to make sure drivers had a place to get their medical exams done without the long waits. Same day appointments are usually available. Dr. Clayton only charges $65 for the DOT physical exams.

 

What is a DOT Physical like?
You will need to fill out a brief health history form. Then Dr. Jeff Clayton will complete the DOT physical exam by going over your health history and checking the following things: eyes, ears, urinalysis (for protein, blood, and sugar), mouth, throat, heart, lungs, abdomen, vascular system, extremities, spinal conditions and neurological conditions.

 

What should I bring to the DOT Physical?
The easiest answer would be to bring any medical records for conditions you have. Bring a list of all current medications you are taking. Bring hearing aids and glasses if needed. Bring any waivers/exemptions you have. Be prepared to do a urinalysis (not a drug test). 
Call (801)621-1668 if you have any questions about what to bring.

Diabetic Condition - Bring a list of medications and name of the prescribing doctor.

High Blood Pressure - Bring a list of medications and name of prescribing doctor.

Heart Condition - If you've had a heart attack or cardiovascular disease, you'll need to bring a copy of your last stress test.

Sleep Apnea - Bring a copy of your latest sleep test results, if you have one.

Medications - List all the prescription medicines you take, including strength and dosage. If you regularly take over-the-counter medications, such as antacids or allergy pills, list them as well.
