Why It’s Better to Get Your DOT Physical at a Primary Care Clinic

If you’re a commercial driver, keeping your Department of Transportation (DOT) physical current is essential for staying certified and safe on the road. But where you choose to get your exam can make a big difference. While chiropractors and occupational health (“work-med”) exam sites may offer DOT physicals, choosing a primary care clinic like Aslan Health offers clear advantages.

More Than Just Checking Boxes

Chiropractors and occupational health clinics focus mainly on completing the DOT form. While this may be enough to get your card, it often stops there. At a primary care clinic, your DOT physical isn’t just a checklist — it’s part of your overall health. If concerns come up (like high blood pressure, sleep apnea risk, or diabetes), a primary care provider can immediately help you manage them. You won’t be left on your own to find another doctor.

Continuity of Care

Unlike one-time exam sites, primary care clinics can follow up with you. If your blood pressure needs re-checking or you require treatment to meet DOT standards, you can return to the same clinic — with the same provider who already knows your history. This continuity of care not only helps you pass your DOT exam but also protects your long-term health.

Whole-Person Health Approach

At Aslan Health, we believe in whole-person care. That means looking beyond whether you “pass” today and helping you stay healthy for the road ahead. We combine preventive care, screenings, and lifestyle coaching with your DOT exam to keep you safe, alert, and strong in the driver’s seat.

Cost Transparency and Convenience

Many drivers turn to chiropractors or occupational health sites because they assume they’ll be cheaper or easier. At Aslan Health, we keep DOT physicals affordable with transparent pricing and same-day pay discounts. We also offer flexible scheduling, including evening and Saturday morning hours, so you can get your exam without disrupting your work.
