All medical evaluations and recommendations are designed to be in compliance with ADA regulations.

Department of Transportation (DOT)
This examination meets all requirements of the Department of Transportation. In following DOT regulations, a urine drug screen may also be performed.

Examples may include respirator, asbestos and chemical exposure physicals to meet OSHA regulations. These examinations include the components of the pre-placement exam, along with the medical reports of moderate medical complexity and may include pulmonary function tests, audiograms, chest x-rays and laboratory tests.

Executive Physicals
Comprehensive examinations combine traditional diagnostic components with state-of-the-art research in preventive medicine. Appropriate protocols are added based on the individual's medical and family history.

Custom Designed Physicals
Occupational Medicine staff design physical examinations to meet the specific requirements of any company. These requirements may include pulmonary function tests, drug screenings, EKGs, audiograms, laboratory tests or ancillary tests.

Fitness for Duty Evaluation
