A Physical Exam is More than Just a Routine Check-up
When you make your appointment for an annual physical exam with Dr. Dana Mincer at Love Health, Dr. Dana will perform a physical exam, talk through your medical history, and discuss any health changes and concerns. This examination includes a check of your heart, lungs, digestive and nervous systems, etc. We can also provide physical exam appointments tailored to meet your specific needs.
Types of physical exams we can provide include:
- Regular Annual Physical Health Exams
- DOT Physicals
- Sports Physicals

An annual physical examination is a great way to reconnect with your provider and strengthen your relationship, which can come in handy when you face a pressing medical issue. Even if you are young and healthy, it is important to establish a relationship with a provider so you can receive tailored healthcare based on your medical history when you need it. While there are different opinions on the frequency of physical examinations, Dr. Dana typically recommends an annual visit for the following benefits:
- Get a better understanding of your physical well-being
- Spot the early warning signs of a disease that is likely to develop in the future and begin treatment or prevention early
- Develop a baseline against which future changes or anomalies can be evaluated
- Review medication to ensure that your treatment is going well
- Ensure effective and ongoing chronic care management
- Set new health goals and plans for the future
Are You a Commercial Vehicle Driver? Get a DOT Exam at Love Health Holistic Primary Care
A Department of Transport (DOT) medical exam is a specialized health examination that is required for individuals that drive commercial vehicles. A DOT physical exam is mandatory if you need to obtain or maintain a commercial driver’s license. Dr. Dana is certified by the FMCSA to conduct DOT medical exams. What sets my service apart is a commitment to efficiency and affordability. With scheduled appointment times, neither you nor your employees will have to endure waiting room delays. Additionally, I offer competitive pricing, providing DOT physicals at a flat rate of $100.
A DOT physical exam determines your overall physical health and ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle. It is more in-depth than a standard physical exam and includes a drug screening to ascertain that you are not taking illegal substances and driving. Your thorough DOT exam will include:
- Vision screening
- Hearing test
- Urinalysis
- Vital signs check
- Heart health check
- Neurological assessment
- Physical ability
- A comprehensive physical exam
A DOT physical exam is required every two years. If certain health conditions are present, you may have to undergo more frequent evaluations.
