We’re deeply grateful for the trust they’ve placed in us, and we’re honored to hear about the positive experiences they’ve had with our compassionate care, quick service, and dedicated team. Here’s what a few of our patients have shared about their time with us:
I needed a last-minute DOT physical for my CDL renewal, and I was worried I wouldn’t find a place that could see me on short notice. Thankfully, I found NextGen Walk-in Clinic & Urgent Care, and they got me in right away without any hassle. The staff was very welcoming and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The doctor was thorough yet efficient, explaining each part of the exam in a way that made sense. I was in and out in under an hour, and the whole experience was stress-free. If you need a DOT physical done quickly and professionally, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back when it’s time for my next renewal!
I’ve had DOT physicals at several different places over the years, and I can honestly say that my experience at NextGen Walk-in Clinic & Urgent Care was the best by far. The entire process was smooth, from check-in to receiving my medical certificate. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about all the DOT requirements. I really appreciated that the doctor took the time to answer my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed. I left feeling confident that I had met all the necessary health requirements for my CDL. This will be my go-to place for DOT physicals from now on, and I highly recommend it to any commercial driver looking for a reliable clinic!
I was a little nervous about my DOT physical because I’ve had trouble with my blood pressure in the past. I’ve been to places where they didn’t take the time to explain anything, but the doctor here was different. He gave me great advice on how to stay calm and even allowed me to rest for a few minutes before checking my blood pressure again. The whole process was smooth, and they didn’t make me feel rushed or stressed. The best part was that I got my medical card the same day without any delays. The price was also very reasonable compared to other places I’ve been to. If you want a hassle-free DOT exam with knowledgeable professionals, this is the place to go!
I love that they accept walk-ins because my schedule is unpredictable, and I don’t always have time to book an appointment in advance. I stopped by NextGen Walk-in Clinic & Urgent Care during my lunch break, expecting to wait a long time, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was organized and efficient, and I was seen almost immediately. The doctor was very professional and explained everything clearly. Within a short time, I had completed my exam and walked out with my updated DOT medical card. It was such a relief to get it done without any hassle. I’ll definitely be coming back here for my next renewal, and I’ll be recommending this clinic to my coworkers as well!
I’ve been driving trucks for over 15 years, and I’ve had my fair share of DOT physicals at different clinics. Some places are unorganized, and others have long wait times. That was not the case at NextGen Walk-in Clinic & Urgent Care. From the moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and well-kept the facility was. The front desk staff greeted me with a smile, and they were quick to get me checked in. The doctor was very professional and made sure I understood every step of the process. I appreciated how efficient everything was while still being thorough. It’s not easy finding a place that treats drivers with respect and makes the exam process stress-free. I highly recommend this clinic to any CDL driver who needs a DOT physical done right!
