WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR DOT EXAM

A DOT exam is a simple and hassle-free three-step process that involves taking your medical history, performing the exam, and filling out all the necessary paperwork.

Step One: Medical History

To provide an idea of your general health and family background, you'll be asked to fill out a brief one-page medical history detailing past illnesses, diseases that run in your family, and your overall health.

Step Two: The Exam

Once you’ve provided your medical history Dr. Cullers will review the information you’ve provided, go over any medical conditions you may have, and perform a basic urinalysis test. As part of the exam, he will also:

• Measure your height.
• Weigh you.
• Take your blood pressure and pulse.
• Test your range of motion.
• Examine your eyes and ears.
• Check your breathing.
• Urinalysis (Blood Sugar & Protein, this is NOT a drug test).

Step Three: Paperwork

The final step in the process is the paperwork. Once your medical history and exam are complete, Dr. Cullers will fill out all the necessary paperwork to process the exam results. When you leave the office, you'll get a copy of the exam to take with you when you get your CDL, and a second copy to give to your company. We’ll also keep a scanned copy of the exam in your file at the office. And after all the paperwork has been processed, you'll get your very own DOT medical card to keep with you at all times when you're driving.

Note: If you need a copy of the DOT exam faxed to your company, please have the fax number handy.

Dr. Cullers understands that a lot of people don’t like doctors, hospitals, and medical exams and that anticipating your appointment may elevate your blood pressure.

To help prepare yourself for the appointment, here are things you can do in the days and weeks leading up to your exam:

•  Take your medication every day as prescribed and on schedule
• If you forget a dose, take it as soon as possible if that’s what your doctor recommends
• Tell Dr. Cullers if you’ve recently missed a dose so that he can recheck your pressure later on or the following day
• Reduce your caffeine, nicotine, sugar, and salt consumption
• Remember that you won’t find a single white coat in our clinic!
