This is actually a correction to a previous review The review I had posted earlier Was a mistake It was actually meant for another clinic altogether and I had posted it here by mistake I felt I got a fair evaluation during my dot physical I have non-insulin treated diabetes Which means I take non-insulin medications to control my diabetes They just wanted a recent A1C test from my primary care physician And since it was at or below 10 I passed So they didn't get ridiculous with their requirements I was able to easily find out what was required over the phone before I even showed up for the visit They basically just check for hearing, vision, numbness in the feet and hands, because diabetics can lose sensation in their feet and hands as a result of elevated blood sugars as well as excess protein in the urine Which can indicate kidney disease (It can also be a sign of a high protein diet such as low carb) Diabetes can destroy nerve endings Causing diabetic neuropathy So that's why the feet and hands are checked for numbness I've had DOT physicians ask for ridiculous things like a recent eye exam, a note from my doctor about my blood pressure, etc That's not even necessary if you pass the eye exam and blood pressure test during the exam If a person fails the eye exam while wearing their corrective lenses then by all means they should ask for a recent eye exam to make sure there are no eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma and other conditions that can be complications of diabetes So they didn't ask for unnecessary things as part of my physical Which didn't put any undue burden on me as a CDL holder I feel that a DOT exam should be focused on safety for the driver and for all of the other drivers on the road And I felt that my DOT examination was just that It was about safety, not about putting and unfair burden on me, by inconveniencing me with unnecessary requirements I have also had dot examiners lie to me and tell me that things that they were asking for were legal requirements when they were not I have even been asked for a sleep study by other DOT physicians And I was told that it was law that I had to have one Which is not true That's actually nothing but fat discrimination Because skinny people can have sleep apnea too That did not happen here at afc So yeah if you're a non insulin control diabetic, just get a recent A1C from your doctor and take it to your visit And if everything else is good Like blood pressure, vision, etc You should be fine

Everyone who was working were friendly, helpful, and very professional. We were quickly taken back and seen by a doctor. The prescription was called in to a pharmacy and was ready for us.
