We’ve been in this location for 25 years. We do over a 1,000 physicals and drug tests a year. We’re here to help drivers get their CDL certificates. We are not here to prevent drivers from being able to drive.
Here is some advice for any driver reading this…
Some truck drivers are concerned that they will not pass their DOT physical because they have a health condition. They feel if they have a problem (condition) like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or diabetes that the DOT doctor will fail them and they won’t be able to drive.
The fact is, it doesn’t matter if you have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Most health problems will never prevent you from passing a DOT physical, as long as you are treating the health problem. When a driver doesn’t treat their health problem is what DOT gets concerned about. Untreated sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or diabetes can cause a truck driver to have a sudden heart attack, a stroke, go blind, or drop into a sudden coma. Anyone of those problems can be devastating to the trucker, and even worse than devastating if it occurs while driving.
I truly care about every driver that comes to my office for a DOT certificate. I care about your health and well being and I will help you anyway I can.
We take care of your DOT Medical Card process and get it done right the first time at Knuuttila Chiropractic!

Yesterday I visited Dr Knuuttila’s office for the 6th time to renew my DOT Med Cert. (See my first review from September 11, 2016) I continue to be grateful to have a personal physician who knows my situation and remembers me year after year. I highly recommend Dr. Knuuttila to anyone in the metro area in need of a convenient DOT physical performed by a kind and caring physician who applies his knowledge of human physiology to keep truckers safe and healthy. If you are a driver who experiences stress and anxiety with the DOT exam, Dr. Knuuttila will put you at ease. Dave H
Awesome doctor, very professional, keeping drivers for the road
Had my DOT physicals done over the last several years and without a doubt a outstanding doctor and front staff. Always made me feel comfortable and answers my questions, plus extra advise on helping any issues. You won’t find a better combination than his office. Thanks again Dr. See ya next year.
Thanks for your review Dominic. Any driver that has any questions regarding their health in regards to their DOT physical can call my office. I am happy to give advise over the phone.
Dr. Knuuttila
I always get my dot physical here. Great service. No wait. Great price.
Thank you Djuan. As always it is a please to help you. We appreciate that you return to our office for your DOT Physicals.
I would highly recommend Dr. Knuuttila to any company or independent driver for DOT physicals. I can complete my physical in 30 – 45 minutes. When I use to go to Concentra It would take 2 – 3 hours. I don’t know about you, but I got better things to do with my time. His office has ample parking for trucks. Concentra had no truck parking. The license bureau is right down the street from his office so you can have them scan your card. The license bureau also has parking for trucks. For speed and convenience, Dr. Tim can’t be beat !
This was a very good experience. Got in quick and the doctor was very efficent and explained results. Would highly recomend.
Very professional and Dr K know my history and cares about my health
Thanks Jeff. I do care about the health of every driver I see.
Dr. Knuuttila

2nd time getting a DOT physical here and a 2nd great experience. Fast in and out with an appointment and very friendly staff. Thanks again!
My first visit to the doctor was very good and the customer service he had with me was outstanding he’s one of the best in St. Louis
By far one of the most competent doctors for a DOT physical. He sincerely cares about what is best for his patients and addresses the issues. He took the time to work with me and had the patience to help me see my medical condition through. I would highly recommend him, and his office staFf who also goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and feel right at home.
Thanks for the kind words Rick.

Here is some advise for any driver reading this review. Some drivers are concerned that they will not pass their DOT physical. They feel if they have a problem (condition) like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or diabetes that the DOT doctor will fail them or that DOT won’t let them drive. The fact is, the FMCSA (DOT) doesn’t care if you have any of those problems as long as you adequately treat it. When a driver doesn’t treat the problem is when the condition becomes a risk for driving. Sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and diabetes can cause a driver to have a sudden heart attack, a stroke, go blind, or drop into a sudden coma; all of which can be devastating if it occurs while driving.
I truly care about every driver that comes to my office for a DOT certificate and I will help anyway I can.

Highly recommend Dr. K. to any driver or trucking company for DOT medical exams and or drug testing. My exam was done in 30 minutes. The cost was only $70. DMV office is only 2 blocks away, so you can get your medical card scanned during the same trip (Very convenient). On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my experience with Dr. K. and his staff an 11 ???? !!!

Came in for a DOT physical. The atmosphere was warming, the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly.
If you asked a question, you recieved a prompt and honest answer. I would recommend anyone to visit these people.
An exelant choice ,because of extra help as needed to make the notice to my fl. Govt and a very throrough Dr.and staff .
I’ve been here for 2 physicals and a couple of drug tests. The fees are competitive and i never have to wait long. The doc and the receptionist are great.
Hi it was really friendly reception .I have a great experience today .I’ll recommend Dr Knuuttila to anyone .really nice dr.
My visit to Dr. Knuuttila for my cdl physical was an enjoyable experience. His reception staff was extremely nice along with Dr. K. He did a thorough but quick physical that made me feel comfortable. I would recommend any cdl driver to get his or her physical with Dr K.
The staff are very friendly and professional, the doctor was very nice and my visit was effective and no long wait.
Dr. Knuuttila and his staff are very professional. He understands the trucking industry and the challenges drivers face. I would recommend his office to anyone looking for a DOT physical. I was going to be in the area, I called and they worked me in at my requested time. I liked the fact that they didn’t have a receptionist put me in an exam room and make me wait for the doctor. Very prompt and courteous service. Great price. Plenty of space for large vehicle parking.
Just had my DOT physical done by Dr Tim and I was in and out with only a small wait. I would recommend him to anyone needing a physical especially if you are driving a large truck as I had no problem parking my truck.
Dr. K is an excellent choice to have your dot physical. The office is centrally located in St. Louis. Very friendly, and professional staff. I walked in without an appointment and did not wait long at all. Looking out for my long-term health, he also got me started on a medical weight loss programming with phoenominal results.
Thank you Dr. K
Doctor Knuuttila is a “by the book” doctor who shows a true interest in my individual health issues as they relate to the reg’s.
He has been very helpful in keeping me on the job and looking out for my long-term overall health.
Speaking as a longtime trucker, sick of all the regulations, you can’t do any better than Doctor “K” when considering your next DOT Med. Cert.
Great service in and out in no time would recommend Dr Knuuttila for your dot physical awesome job
Very easy process. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called.
Had a great time at dr. Ks he’s a good doctor please come check it out mr. B.
I have had a long history of “white coat syndrome” causing my BP to elevate in clinical settings. The annual visit to my local Concentra for the DOT was always dreaded for weeks before my cert expired. It always involved a long sit in the waiting room followed by a nurse getting a high pressure on the cuff. After “relaxing” on the table for 30 minutes, a doctor (never saw the same one twice) would recheck. It always fell into the acceptable limits but after repeating this ritual for 8 years, I decided to find a better way. I sought out a private physician who was certified to do the DOT exam. When I called Dr Knuuttila’s office, I actually spoke to Dr K himself and he instantly put me at ease. I got an appointment at my desired time and the visit was easy, quick and painless! Since it was my first visit to a chiropractor, Dr Knuuttila took a moment to answer a few questions I had regarding the benefits of Chiropractic. I found this man to be an honest, competent, caring physician and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the metro area in need of a DOT physical.
I would recommend Dr. Tim Knuuttila to any CDL holder in need of a Medical Examination Certificate. Dr. Knuuttila worked me into his busy Saturday schedule on short notice and performed the examination with a high degree of professionalism and in a short period of time. His office location is ideal; close to the intersections of I-270 and I-70 on St. Charles Rock Road. Most of us CDL holders have spent time in a doc-in-the-box waiting endlessly for attention and eventually to be examined like a piece of meat by someone of dubious credentials. My visit to Dr. Knuuttilla’s office was a pleasant return to a direct physician-patient experience; with communication and dialogue that helped us arrive at the desired outcome for me; a completed Examiner’s Certificate and out the door in less than 45 minutes.
Dr. Knuuttila will always be my first choice for my next CDL medical exam.
Dr. Knuuttila, thank you very much for first of all for making yourself available with Saturday hours. And also for being quick and thorough with my DOT exam. You really made it easy and painless. Thx again!
Dr Tim is a great doctor I would recommend him to any one!!!
Thanks to the doc for getting me the help I needed he was big help to me and my family
Dr.Knuuttila saw me as a walk in for my DOT physical and got me in right away. They were very courteous and professional. Will definitely recommend to other drivers.
Doctor Tim is personable and professional. Job very well done and let’s you know if he can help I’m any way. Great DOT examiner.
Went to doctor Knuuttila based on reviews from other CDL drivers and yes he is the man to go see. Great location short wait times friendly staff for all my up coming exams he will get my business.

I have never had a dot exam from a Doctor that seems to actually care about your overall health. This is the place to go with a responsible price all in one. The staff is friendly as well. You will regret going anywhere else.
Dr.Knuuttila is a great Dr. He is patient and fun. He also explains things very thoroughly. I highly recommend him and will be telling other drivers about him.
