A DOT physical is a federally required medical exam for commercial drivers to ensure they are physically and mentally fit to safely operate a commercial vehicle. It’s mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for all CDL and commercial drivers.
Most DOT physicals take about 30 minutes or less. At North Suburban Physicians Group, we make the process efficient — with same-day appointments and on-the-spot certification so you can get back on the road quickly.
Please bring:
A valid driver’s license or photo ID
Your current medical card (if renewing)
A list of current medications
Glasses, contacts, or hearing aids, if you use them
Any relevant medical records (like for diabetes, sleep apnea, or high blood pressure)
These items help ensure your exam is accurate and compliant.
A DOT medical card is typically valid for up to 24 months, but in some cases (such as high blood pressure or diabetes), your certification may be issued for a shorter period to allow for follow-up monitoring.
Yes! We specialize in same-day and next-day DOT physical appointments. Simply call 847-699-8888 or schedule online — we’ll get you in quickly and have your results ready before you leave.
If you don’t meet certain DOT requirements, Dr. Shannon Burke will explain your results clearly and guide you through next steps. In many cases, health issues can be managed or corrected so you can retake your exam and get certified.
