Our expert providers deliver comprehensive physicals at multiple convenient locations across Southwest Florida, including Parrish, Sarasota, Bradenton, Ellenton, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte, and West Bradenton.

What Are Physicals and Why Do They Matter?
Physicals are routine exams that evaluate your general health, fitness, and readiness for specific activities or job requirements. These assessments ensure that individuals—whether children, teens, or adults—are physically capable of participating in certain activities without increased risk of injury or medical complications.
At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we offer physicals for a variety of purposes, including sports participation, summer camp enrollment, school requirements, and Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance. These evaluations help catch underlying health concerns early and ensure safety in physical, recreational, and occupational environments.
Even if you or your child feel healthy, physicals play a crucial role in confirming overall wellness and spotting any red flags before they become problems.
Sports Physicals
Sports physicals are essential for students and young athletes preparing for a new season or activity. Sometimes called pre-participation physical examinations (PPE), these exams help determine if a child or teen is physically fit and healthy enough to safely compete in athletic activities.
At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, our sports physicals include a thorough review of medical history and a physical examination that checks heart and lung function, joint flexibility, vision, and more. We ask about previous injuries, chronic conditions like asthma, and any current symptoms that could impact performance or safety.
Many schools and athletic leagues in Florida require annual sports physicals before a student can practice or compete. Our clinics make it easy to complete these exams quickly, often on a walk-in basis, with the necessary paperwork provided at the time of service.
We also work with families to ensure physicals align with the timelines and documentation needs of the school or organization involved, giving you peace of mind and clearing the path to play.
Camp Physicals
Camp physicals are typically required for children and teens attending day or overnight camps during the summer. These exams assess the camper’s health status and provide camp organizers with important medical information, such as allergies, medications, and immunization records.
Our camp physicals are designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of camps, from sports-intensive programs to educational and recreational retreats. These evaluations often focus on general wellness, chronic conditions, and readiness for physical activity in a group setting.
Because camp season can sneak up quickly, PrimeHealth Urgent Care offers flexible scheduling options and extended hours to help families check this requirement off their list in time. With several clinics across Southwest Florida, there’s always a convenient location nearby to handle your camp physical needs without the wait.
DOT Physicals
DOT physicals are federally mandated health exams required for individuals who operate commercial vehicles. These exams are essential for ensuring that drivers meet the physical standards necessary to safely operate large or long-distance vehicles under the Department of Transportation’s guidelines.
At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, our certified medical examiners conduct DOT physicals that meet FMCSA requirements. During your DOT physical, we’ll check your blood pressure, vision, hearing, and overall physical function. We'll also evaluate for conditions that could interfere with safe driving, such as sleep apnea, diabetes, or cardiovascular concerns.
Our goal is to ensure that every commercial driver on the road is medically qualified to do the job safely—for their protection and for the safety of others on the road. We’ll complete all necessary documentation, provide you with a medical examiner’s certificate if you pass the exam, and guide you through any steps if follow-up is needed.
DOT physicals are typically required every 24 months, though drivers with certain conditions may need to renew more frequently. We’re here to make the process smooth, fast, and professional so you can get back behind the wheel without unnecessary delays.
Why Choose PrimeHealth Urgent Care for Physicals?
Physicals may seem routine, but where you go matters. At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we bring a higher standard of care to every exam. Our providers take the time to conduct thorough evaluations while keeping visits efficient and stress-free. We work with patients of all ages and backgrounds, tailoring each visit to their unique needs.
Our clinics are open with extended evening hours, giving families and working professionals the flexibility to come in when it's most convenient. There's no need to schedule far in advance—we welcome walk-ins at all of our locations and offer quick turnaround times so you can be in and out in under an hour in most cases.
In addition to our commitment to convenience, we pride ourselves on transparency. We offer affordable self-pay pricing for physicals and accept most major insurance plans. If you have questions about coverage, our front desk team is happy to assist before your exam begins.
Physicals and Preventive Health
While many people come to us for physicals simply to meet school, camp, or work requirements, these exams also provide a valuable opportunity for preventive care. During the evaluation, we can catch signs of emerging health issues early—like elevated blood pressure, heart irregularities, or vision problems—and recommend follow-up care if needed.
Especially for children and teens, physicals can be an important annual touchpoint to assess growth and development, reinforce healthy habits, and talk about nutrition, activity levels, and mental well-being. Our team is trained to make these conversations age-appropriate, supportive, and respectful of family values.
We also offer the convenience of on-site testing and diagnostic services if any additional evaluations are needed, such as EKGs, urinalysis, or lab work.
What to Bring to Your Physical
To make your visit as smooth as possible, we recommend bringing a few key items with you:
- A government-issued ID (for adult patients or parents/guardians)
- Any required physical forms provided by a school, camp, or employer
- A list of current medications
- Your most recent immunization records
- Glasses or hearing aids if you use them
- Insurance card or method of payment for self-pay visits
If you're coming in for a DOT physical, please also bring any documentation related to medical conditions, such as sleep apnea treatment compliance or diabetes management information.
A Better Experience for Every Patient
At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, we go beyond just completing the required steps for physicals—we create a better, more personalized healthcare experience for every individual who walks through our doors. Whether you're a parent bringing in your child for a sports physical or a commercial driver looking to renew your DOT certification, we understand that these visits aren’t just boxes to check—they’re opportunities to protect your health, prepare for the future, and get trusted answers from medical professionals who care.
Our providers take the time to ask meaningful questions and understand your lifestyle, activity level, and goals. That means when you come in for physicals, we don’t rush the process or treat it like a formality. Instead, we see it as a moment to support your overall wellness, catch potential concerns early, and provide reassurance that you're medically ready to take the next step—whether that’s hitting the field, starting a new job, or enjoying a summer adventure.
We’ve designed our physicals process to be simple, efficient, and thorough. With a focus on comfort, clarity, and convenience, you’ll leave our clinics with everything you need and nothing you don’t.
Why Physicals Shouldn’t Be Put Off
It’s easy to postpone getting physicals done—especially when life gets busy. But waiting too long can cause unnecessary stress or even missed opportunities. Athletes may be delayed in joining practices, campers may be held out of trips, and commercial drivers risk temporary loss of certification if deadlines are missed.
That’s why our walk-in model is so important. You don’t need to schedule weeks in advance or wait for your primary care physician’s next available appointment. Our urgent care clinics are fully equipped to handle physicals on short notice, and we work quickly to get you the documentation you need, often before you even leave the clinic.
Beyond the logistical benefits, completing physicals on time helps ensure your safety. Regular evaluations—especially those required annually—can catch problems that may not have noticeable symptoms yet. From high blood pressure to minor heart irregularities or vision changes, these exams serve as an important checkpoint in maintaining your health.
