About 1st Choice Mobile DOT Physicals
We pride ourselves on excellency, professionalism, and result-oriented DOT Physical Exams and Drug Testing within Seminole, Orange, Osceola counties, Florida and beyond with efficiency and a driver-centered process.
"Our focus is keeping Orlando's commercial transport industry compliant, healthy, and moving forward."
— Clinical Operations DirectorBuilt for Drivers, By Professionals
1st Choice Mobile DOT Physicals was founded in Orlando to resolve a major pain point for commercial vehicle operators: the extreme hassle of obtaining the mandatory medical certifications required to retain CDL compliance.
We realized that spending half a day driving a large commercial tractor-trailer into tight metropolitan areas, searching for parking, and waiting inside crowded, sluggish general walk-in care centers was an inefficient use of a driver's valuable hours.
By equipping customized, clean, and state-of-the-art mobile medical clinics, our registered medical examiners travel directly to truck terminals, logistic yards, distribution warehouses, and major central rest stops. We streamline healthcare so you can remain safe and compliant without breaking your route.

Focused Physical Exam
A complete physical assessment and overall health guidance. If you qualify, you receive your Medical Examiner's Certificate the same day.
Our certification processing time can vary depending on overall health and specific findings. Some drivers qualify for up to a two-year medical certificate, while others may be certified for a shorter period with follow-up to ensure stable control of conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Accurate documentation matters — our team completes the Medical Examination Report fast and provides clear guidance if additional paperwork is required from a specialist.
