Fast, driver-friendly DOT physicals since 2004

Houston DOT Physicals (part of Criterion Therapy Center) has certified Houston commercial drivers for more than 20 years. One NRCME-certified, bilingual examiner, a calm room off the North Loop 610, and a card in hand in about 30 minutes.

Our story

Built around the driver

We started with a simple observation: getting a DOT physical should not cost a driver a whole day. Most walk-in clinics make you wait behind sick patients, have nowhere to park a rig, and rush you through in English only. For someone whose income depends on being back on the road, that is more than an inconvenience — it is lost miles and lost pay.

So we did the opposite. We put the clinic right off the North Loop 610 with on-site truck parking. We kept one bilingual, NRCME-certified examiner who sees you start to finish and explains every step. And we made the visit genuinely quick — most drivers are in and out in about 30 minutes with their card in hand. Twenty years and thousands of certified drivers later, that is still the whole idea.

“A driver’s card is their livelihood. I take the time to explain everything, re-check when nerves run high, and get you back on the road with a card you can trust.”

What we stand for

How we treat drivers

Four things shape every visit — and they are the reason drivers keep coming back and sending their coworkers.

Fast

In and out in about 30 minutes — your day stays yours.

Bilingual

Every step explained clearly in English or Spanish.

Calm

We settle you and re-check nervous blood pressure, patiently.

Certified

Serving Houston

A local clinic that knows drivers

We are not a national chain running drivers through on a clock. We are a Houston clinic that has spent two decades getting to know the people who move this city — the owner-operators, the company drivers, the bus and delivery drivers who need a valid card to keep working.

That local focus shows up in small ways: parking that actually fits a truck, an examiner who remembers you at renewal, and honest guidance when a health result needs attention. Walk in during business hours, or call ahead at (713) 623-6306 to lock in a time that fits your route.

Why drivers stay with us

Two decades of word-of-mouth

Most of our new patients arrive because another driver sent them. In an industry where time is money and a lapsed card means lost work, that trust is everything — and it is earned one calm, quick, correctly-filed exam at a time. We have certified first-time CDL holders who are now training the next generation, and owner-operators who have renewed with us every two years for a decade.

When you come in, you are not a number on a clipboard. You get the same examiner, the same honest guidance, and the same respect for your schedule every single visit. That consistency is the whole reason we have been Houston’s go-to DOT clinic since 2004.
