    Has anyone ever gotten a DOT Physical from CVS Pharmacy? My normal place for a physical changed owners and I didnt like the service I recieved last time so going to try something new.

    Anyone that has used CVS was it a pretty simple exam process?

    Some companies also require that you use specific centers, which is a pain, our family dr went through all the training and is listed as a registered dr with the system, but hubby has to go through the ones at their clinic or terminal.

    What gets me is that pretty much all companies disregard the current medical card you hand them and ship you for a physical anyway.

    Im half tempted to show up at my CVS and see if the PA will issue a DOT card for me with all the issues I have medically. HA.... wouldnt that be a kick.

    Yes I used CVS several years ago, as mentioned a PA did the exam. It was slow, time it at the right time and no issues. Cost me about $90 but that was a few years ago.

    Ive used them a couple times. Right around the corner from the house. I go right when they open. Never any apnea or sleep study push. Very pleasant and very through. When I went the second time the PA had my file open from the time 2 years before.
    A little expensive at $125 but that includes the urine test (sugar test not drug)
    I’ll go again next your.

    I went today. Waited about 30 minutes. Was rather quick and painless. Cost $109.00. Not to bad. I recieved the 2 year as I expected.

    I think from now on that's where I'm going to go.

    CVS'ses in my area has been closed up rather quickly I think it might be related to Antea or some other large purchasing or merger going on. That leaves Walgreens standing.

    Im so happy I use a private pharmacy, I have been going to them just about 20 years now and receive absolute first class service. My recent experiments with large chain type situations with the medicines I use is less than positive. Almost treated as the enemy of the state daring to turn in a fill order.
