Urgent care can complete many form-based physical examinations, including pre-employment, school, camp and general health physicals. These visits may include a medical history review, vital signs, a physical examination and any additional testing required by the form. Urgentology Care offers walk-in physicals in Arlington and Colleyville and can coordinate EKGs, laboratory tests or vaccinations during the same visit when available and medically appropriate.
If your form requires an EKG, laboratory testing or a vaccination, Urgentology Care may be able to complete those services during the same visit. Availability depends on the examination requirements, provider assessment and services offered at your location.
Whether you need an exam for employment, school, sports or a specific program, our providers can review your requirements and perform the appropriate physical evaluation. Additional testing and vaccinations may be available when required.
If you need clearance for school athletics, camp or enrollment, a School or Sports Physical may be the right choice. Bring the required school, UIL or program forms to your visit.
Commercial drivers who need medical certification should schedule a DOT Physical with an FMCSA-certified medical examiner. The examination follows federal commercial driver qualification requirements.
If your employer requires a medical examination before your start date, a pre-employment physical can help document your fitness for the position and complete the appropriate paperwork.
For an annual wellness examination, ongoing preventive care and long-term health monitoring, a primary care provider is generally the better choice. Routine checkups cover more than a form-based physical.
For life-threatening symptoms such as severe difficulty breathing, throat swelling, chest pain, signs of stroke, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
