Failed Your DOT Physical?
We Can Help You Pass

Don't let health issues keep you off the road. North Florida's #1 DOT Doctor turns metabolic syndrome into metabolic health.

Your CDL Is Your Livelihood — We'll Help You Protect It

If you failed due to high blood pressure, weight issues, blood sugar problems, or sleep apnea, our $350 comprehensive program includes blood work and a custom medical plan to address root causes and get you certified.

Your $50 consult/assessment/reevaluation physical is credited toward the $350 program if you proceed.

Common Reasons Drivers Fail DOT Physicals

These are the issues we specialize in addressing through our Metabolic Health Program

High Blood Pressure

BP readings above 140/90 can limit certification. Stage 2 hypertension (≥160/100) typically results in failure until controlled.

Weight & BMI Issues

A BMI of 35 or higher often requires sleep apnea screening. Significant obesity can impact your ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle.

Diabetes & Blood Sugar

Poorly controlled diabetes with high A1c levels or insulin use without proper documentation can lead to disqualification.

Sleep Apnea

Untreated sleep apnea is a major disqualifier. We help with screening, diagnosis, and treatment compliance documentation.

Limited spots available — don't delay your return to driving

How long will my card be valid?

  • Up to 2 years if your BP is < 140/90 and you meet all other requirements.
  • 1 year for well-controlled hypertension (history of high BP but currently < 140/90).
  • 3 months (one-time) if BP is 160–179/100–109 to allow treatment; then typically 1 year once controlled.
  • Disqualified at ≥180/110 until controlled; then typically certified in shorter intervals.

We’ll map the fastest path to your longest possible certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Metabolic Health Program

How long does the program take?

Timelines vary by case. Many drivers see results in 4–6 weeks; others may need 3–4 months for significant changes. We work at your pace with regular check-ins.

Is the $350 program fee covered by insurance?

This specialized service is not typically covered. We can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. The initial $50 consult is separate but credited toward the program if you proceed.

What if I need medications?

Medications can be prescribed when appropriate, with a lifestyle-first approach. We choose DOT-compliant options and coordinate with your PCP as needed.

Do you work with my primary care doctor?

Yes. With your permission, we coordinate with your existing providers so everyone is aligned on getting you certified.

What's your success rate?

Over 85% of drivers who complete our program successfully pass their follow-up DOT physical. Those who don't pass initially continue with adjusted plans until they meet requirements.

Don't Let a Failed DOT Physical End Your Career

Our proven program and labs-included approach help drivers return to work quickly and safely.
