I am trying to get information on my eye sight. I have great vision in one eye and about 20/100 in the other eye (non correctable) any information will be very helpful. Thank you
I had rotator cuff surgery 15 years ago. I have plenty of strengrh in my arm. My only weakness is if my arms is fully extended at 90° and you push down I have some weakness. Other than that i have full function and 140° of mobility. Will that give me an issue? I've never had any problems operating anything I've needed to including the school buses I've been driving for the last 6 years.
What if one eye is nearsighted when the other is closed but both work fine when together because I know if they tell me to cover my good eye my nearsightedness eye cannot the chart well
My neurologist want to ween me off my anti siezure medications. Since I've been siezure free on medications for 4 years should I wait a year or 2 off my anti siezure meds before pursuing?
Had a recent shoulder injury. It was from a falling accident several months ago. It looks like I have shoulder impingement. Will they check for that during the physical?
I'm an NP. I just completed a course and plan to test for certification. I will be opening my own practice site. I know that drug testing is not required for DOT examination, my question is this something you would recommend offering initially for a new practice?
We do it. A lot of trucking companies appreciate it and it is easy to implement. Make sure you check out my video on marketing for a DOT practice before you open.
Hello Dr. Nuesse, thank you very much. I recently became a CME and will begin performing DOT physicals soon. I have a few additional questions, is there any other way to contact you privately? Thanks again! Dr. Niezgoda

on average how long does a DOT exam take or should take? is there such thing as doing too much or overdoing an exam?

you need to be able to pass the vision exam as it is show in my vision specific video. If not you could qualify under the alternative vision standard.

I would check to see if you could use your extremities to safely operate a motor vehicle.
How are hernia exams performed in the dot physical?
They would be performed by palpation of the area in question.
@@EasyDOTPhysicals so there is a hernia check for the DOT?
