What is a physical exam?
A physical exam is a medical evaluation used to assess overall health, identify potential risks, and determine fitness for school, work, sports, travel, or legal requirements. Depending on the purpose, a physical may include a medical history review, vital signs, vision testing, lab work, and provider certification.
Type of physicals we offer
Annual physicals
Routine wellness exams focused on prevention and early detection. These visits help establish a baseline, manage chronic conditions, and keep patients up to date on screenings and vaccinations.
School physicals
Required for school enrollment and participation. We complete age-appropriate evaluations and required forms efficiently to help families stay compliant.
Sports physicals
Pre-participation exams to ensure children and adults are medically cleared for athletic activity. We assess heart health, musculoskeletal readiness, and injury risk.
Transportation & DOT physicals
Transportation physicals—especially DOT physical exams—are a critical service in the Rio Grande Valley, where many patients work in trucking, delivery, agriculture, and cross-border transportation.
DOT physicals assess whether commercial drivers meet federal health requirements to operate safely, including:
- Blood pressure and cardiovascular health
- Vision and hearing
- Diabetes and medication management
- Neurologic and musculoskeletal function
We understand the importance of fast turnaround, accurate documentation, and compliance for working drivers.
Immigration physicals
Medical exams are required for immigration or residency processes. We complete evaluations according to the required guidelines and provide proper documentation.
