Established 2023

"Our focus is keeping Orlando's commercial transport industry compliant, healthy, and moving forward."

Our Core Mission

Built 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.

Your Visit at 1st Choice

We explain every step of our exam process straightforwardly, so your experience is less stressful and more efficient.

Medical History Review

Our certified examiner reviews your health background, current medications, and any specialist clearances to understand your full medical profile.

Vital Signs & Screening

We check your blood pressure, pulse, vision acuity, and hearing. Our urinalysis screens for underlying medical conditions like blood sugar or kidney concerns.

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.
