    I'm just about ready to take my DOT physical.

    Is there any place better or worse to take the physical or it doesn't matter? I am in Southeastern PA anyway.

    I shouldn't have any problems passing I'm pretty healthy overall except I am a little hard of hearing.

    Stay away from Concentra. I have heard that CVS does drivers decent.

    I did not know that CVS does DOT physicals.

    Close to home anyway.

    I learned a couple months ago when I had mine done not to go to my family doctor (he didn't re up his certification) cause he was checking for more than needed since I don't go in for personal check ups. Price reflected it also.

    Concentra is the worst place to go if you want to pass the physical.
