One Lake City office for Pee Dee drivers
Drivers from Lake City, Scranton, Coward, Pamplico, Hemingway, Kingstree, Johnsonville, Timmonsville, and other Pee Dee communities can schedule their examinations at BioSpine's John Street office.
Before leaving, use the BioSpine Lake City office page for the address, office photographs, accessibility information, and directions. Call 843-713-0669 if your employer has given you a deadline.
Confirm that the examiner is listed
FMCSA maintains the National Registry search. Search by the examiner's name or location and confirm that the listing is current. The registry is the authoritative place to verify certification; a clinic website or map listing is not a substitute.
BioSpine also displays Dr. Jordan's National Registry information on the DOT physical service page.
What happens during the appointment
The examination follows FMCSA's Medical Examination Report, Form MCSA-5875. It includes:
- A review of your health history and medications
- Vision and hearing checks
- Blood pressure and pulse
- A urinalysis for specific gravity, protein, blood, and sugar
- A physical examination of the body systems listed on the federal form
- A qualification decision based on the current standards and your findings
The required urinalysis is not the same as an employer drug test. Scheduling the exam also does not guarantee certification; the Medical Examiner may need records or follow-up before making a decision.
What to bring to a DOT physical
Bring your driver's license or other government photo ID, a complete medication list, and the glasses, contact lenses, or hearing aids you use while driving. If you are being treated for an ongoing condition, relevant records can prevent an avoidable delay.
Some drivers need an FMCSA assessment form completed by a treating clinician before the exam. This may apply to insulin-treated diabetes, an alternative vision standard, or a medication that needs clarification. The BioSpine DOT paperwork section links directly to the current federal forms.
Do not stop a prescribed medication before the exam unless the clinician who manages it tells you to.
