DOT Drug Collection Site
As part of our dedication to comprehensive patient care, Dr. Robert Hochfelder Chiropractic Clinic and DOT Exam Center offers DOT exams for commercial driver's licenses and physicals for drivers who don't require a CDL but who haul enough weight to require a DOT exam.
Quick and easy drug and alcohol testing. We have a variety of test methods, such as hair, blood, saliva, and urine.
A basic DOT exam does not include drug testing, but it can be performed at the same time as your regular exam if it's required by your company. Drug testing requires a separate test and is not included in the cost of a basic DOT exam.
We’ve seen lots of repetitive strain injuries in the drivers that have come through our clinic. On top of DOT exams for drivers, we also offer regular chiropractic services to help relieve pain in your back, neck, shoulders, hips, and legs.
