Why People Choose Modern Human MD for Work Physicals

Who It May Help

  • You're starting a new job and need a pre-employment physical before your first day
  • Your employer requires an annual or periodic occupational health exam
  • You're returning to work after an illness, injury, or medical leave
  • You need clearance for a physically demanding or safety-sensitive role
  • You're applying for a position that requires a DOT or similar regulated exam
  • You want a physician who will take note of your overall health — not just check boxes
  • You prefer a calm, unhurried environment over a busy urgent care clinic

What a Work Physical Typically Includes

A standard work physical at Modern Human MD may include a review of your medical history, vital signs, vision and hearing screening, cardiovascular and respiratory assessment, musculoskeletal evaluation, and any additional components required by your employer or industry. For roles with specific regulatory requirements — such as commercial drivers or safety-sensitive positions — Dr. Tran will ensure the exam meets those standards precisely. If anything of note comes up during your visit, she'll discuss it with you directly and help you understand your next steps.

More Than a Checkbox

A work physical is often a rare moment when someone actually takes stock of their health. Dr. Tran sees that as an opportunity. If your blood pressure is elevated, your weight has shifted, or you mention symptoms you've been putting off addressing, she won't just note it and move on. You'll leave with the documentation your employer needs — and, if appropriate, a clearer picture of your health and any next steps worth considering. This is concierge medicine, which means your visit is about you, not just your paperwork.

Before Your Visit

  • Bring your employer's physical form or any specific requirements they've outlined
  • Have your current medications and any relevant medical history ready to share
  • Note any symptoms or health concerns you've been meaning to mention to a doctor
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy examination of your arms, back, and legs

Important

Work physicals at Modern Human MD are designed to meet standard employment and occupational health requirements. If your role requires a highly specialized regulatory exam, Dr. Tran will confirm in advance whether she is the appropriate provider for that specific certification. Your time matters, and we want to make sure you're in the right place from the start.
