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!

This was my first visit I was extremely happy I like that they have the option to txt & email before DOT expires and that he told me about a problem with with my urine sample results..and recommend me to see my primary for a physical since i hadn’t had one in years I would recommend Tim to anyone..
Chris H says
Very smooth process from start to finish. Called the day of and got an appointment scheduled with no hassle. I have a business in St.Louis and was looking for a good Chiropractor that fits my needs and my companies needs and have found just that. Very personable and friendly and honestly just great to work with. I would like to thank you for the great service and look forward to working with Tim and his team moving forward.
Dr. Knuuttila says
Thanks Chris. We are here to help with any of your DOT needs. We can perform FMCSA physicals for CDL classes A, B, C and physicals for Non-CDL class E. In addition to physicals we provide drug and alcohol testing.

Dr. Timothy
Is a very pleasant doctor. Very professional and patient with his patients. He asked, are there any questions or if I had any concerns. You don’t get that type of profession, just from a DOT Physical. God Bless you Dr. Knuuttila
Dr. Knuuttila says
Thanks Stephanie for the kind words and the blessing. I am here to help and if a driver has a concern I want to make sure I answer their questions. A CDL certificate is not just about me signing a piece of paper. It’s about making sure you truck drivers are able to drive and it is about passing on knowledge that will help you with whatever your health conditions are. There is a lot of confusion out there. I get drivers who think they won’t be able to drive if they have a medical condition. The truth is, if a driver takes medication to control their medical problems then it is rare that they will not be able to drive.
So if anyone reading this has any questions about any medical issues they are having, and would like some answers, call me. I will take the time to talk to you.

Ronald says
Great service we be receiving all of my physicals here, and I’m going to let all of my coworkers know about them. The doctor goes above and beyond and you can tell that he really cares about your health.
Dr. Knuuttila says
Ronald I do care about every driver that comes to my office. For those drivers reading this review let me say this. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your health or getting your medical certificate, please call me at my office. I am here to help make getting your medical card as easy as possible. If you call me with questions before you come in to get your DOT physical, I can help you figure out what you will need to bring or what you need to do ahead of time, to make your physical less complicated. I am happy to answer any questions you might have even if you are not coming to my office for your physical.
Greg says
Today was my first visit and I must say the staff was extremely friendly helpful and fast I took my DOT physical here and will continue to come back year after year also I’m going to recommend our company since our other drivers here for their DOT physical very good experience.
Dr. Knuuttila says
Thanks for the nice comments Greg. A driver shouldn’t have to sit forever in a Urgent Care waiting for a physical. Our office is convenient, we have a large parking lot for driver’s to park their semi’s in, and our staff is friendly and helpful. We want to make your experience as quick and painless as possible.
kaleb m says
Awesome Dr. Who actually listens to your questions and concerns, would recommend to anyone I know.
Dr. Knuuttila says
Thanks for the review Kaleb. For all the drivers reading this review here is a little advise. Kaleb had concerns and questions about his health as it related to his CDL. After discussing it with me he found that it was no big deal and it didn’t interrupt him getting his medical card. Ninety nine percent of the health problems truck drivers have, won’t prevent them from passing a DOT physical. The job of a DOT medical examiner (myself included) is not to keep you from driving. A DOT medical examiner’s job is to make sure that your condition is adequately being treated and that condition is stable, so that you are safe to drive.
Let me repeat that…. As long as you are treating your health problems you will pass your DOT physical. There are only a hand full of medical problems that will prevent you from passing your DOT physical.

So true, we all wish that each and every CME had the same idea and standards. Driver Friendly is just that, friendly and helpful, not in it just for the bucks. Thanks Doc it makes all of our lives a bit easier.

Dave H says
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

Dominic DeM says
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.
Dr. Timothy Knuuttila says
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
Djuan M says
I always get my dot physical here. Great service. No wait. Great price.
Dr. Knuuttila says
Thank you Djuan. As always it is a please to help you. We appreciate that you return to our office for your DOT Physicals.
Kevin says
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 !
Chuck says
