Part of his review fits your situation perfectly:
Physican's Name Jay A Lodwick
Jay understands the rules regarding Sleep Apnea. I used his office for a second opinion after Concentra, Plymouth Rd branch, in Livonia MI issued me a 3 month DOT card stating I had Sleep Apnea and needed to be tested. Yes, this other doctor magically diagnosed me. A trip to my VA doctor and a note from him stating this test was not required, as I have none of the symptoms. Dr Jay did his job, understood the law and issued me my 2 year card. Good guy! The cost for the physical was 109.

Another Canadian driver and bigguns Thank this. -
I will not go to Concentra for the reasons you guys talk about. I pay for my own physical now.
If I ever look for a new employer I will be sure they do not force Concentra physicals. It would be a deal breaker.Another Canadian driver, TheLoadOut and Badmon Thank this. -
I never go to a doctor , never get sick, only do my 2 yr cert, they ask questions on anything I always say no. Even if you have a problem. How they gonna know. Even if you have a primary doc. How they gonna know. And far as Hippa , The FMCSA HAS NO RIGHT TO KNOW YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY.
But if you have a medical issue that would cause you to have an accident then it's your duty to protect the public. As far as a sleep study. I personally think if you get sleepy. Pull over take a nap. Everyone gets sleepy driving fit 11 hrs straight. If you don't your a super truckerPaulMinternational, Another Canadian driver and TheLoadOut Thank this. -

Add my name to the lawsuit as well. Crooks and I even told the doctor I lost 11 pounds since my last visit where they issued me a two year card. How the hell does losing 11 pounds give you sleep apnea? Snoring is not a clear sign of sleep apnea either because everyone I know does, especially if they are having issues controlling their allergies. I may go after my employer because they will not accept a physical from a second opinion doctor, even one that has been DOT certified, which tells me something isn’t right here.

If Concentra goes out of business it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. I hope this lawsuit bankrupts 'em.
