DOT Physicals
for Drivers in Pensacola, Milton, Pace, Gulf Breeze, FL & Beyond

If you get paid to operate a motor vehicle in the state of Florida, there is a good chance you are required to periodically receive a DOT physical or DOT exam. The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires these exams to be completed in order for professionals such as truck and bus drivers to obtain or maintain their commercial driving license and to make sure that nothing will negatively impact their driving performance. 

In order to comply with federal law, a qualified medical examiner must complete your DOT physical. At Northwest Florida Physicians Group, LLC, we offer DOT physicals to residents in Pensacola, Milton, Pace, Gulf Breeze, FL and throughout the state of Florida.
