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!

Dr K
Stopped in to get a DOT physical, and he adjusted my back. I felt great, and looking forward to the next visit.
Called this Dr at the last min and they was able to squeeze me in about 20 mins later. He explained some issues I’ve been dealing with completely different than anyone else has. Now I feel like I may able to get off some meds if I take the right steps! Would definitely recommend this guy!
Thanks Adam for your recommendation.
I have been going to Dr K for 13years. Most caring Doctor I have ever met
Highly recommend Dr K
Today I had an appointment with Dr.Knuuttila to get a DOT PHYSICAL and it was great.This is my second year coming back.He is always pleasant and has a great sense of humor.Just a Clean, warming and inviting place.He’s good to work with and I’m absolutely going back.
DR.KNUUTTILA IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND UNDERSTANDING. I GIVE THIS PLACE 5 STARS
I had an AMAZING experience with Dr. Knuuttila and staff! Having many conditions I was nervous about being turned down for a medical approval. FIRST call, receptionist actually put me straight through to the doctor to answer my initial questions. He got right on the phone, gave me tons of info. He told me what needed to be done, then later even sent paperwork and questions to my primary care physician. They got my paperwork back and forth, I’m doing my best to take care of my health and not bury my head in the sand anymore. Today I PASSED and got my medical card! They were fast and professional and very easy to talk to on the phone and even more in person! If you need an exam, call Dr. Knuuttila!
Thanks Greg for the positive review. This seems like a good time for me to expand upon something that might help other drivers. I can’t tell you how often a driver does not disclose his medical problems when he is answering the 32 health questions on the physical long form. In other words, a driver might answer no to question 7 (do you have high blood pressure) even though the driver has been taking medication for it for 6 years. Or a driver might answer no to all 32 questions even though the driver has multiple problems. The most typical reason I get from the drivers for this, is because they don’t want to lose their ability to continue driving. I understand the concern!
There are multiple issues with not disclosing the medical history. First, is that each driver signs the bottom of the health history form. But most of you don’t read what you are signing. This is a federal document and when you sign it you are testifying “I certify that the above information is accurate and complete. I understand that inaccurate, false or missing information may invalidate the examination and my Medical Examiner’s Certificate, that submission of fraudulent or intentionally false information is a violation of 49 CFR 390.35, and that submission of fraudulent or intentionally false information may subject me to civil or criminal penalties….”
What this means is by not disclosing your medical problems your CDL is not valid and you should not be driving. So if you get into a significant accident and someone is seriously injured or dies the lawyers will find out your medical history and will look at your DOT physical. When they see that you did not disclose your medical problems in the health history…. they will claim you did not have a valid CDL and you should not have been driving. If you should not have been driving then the accident would not have happened…. And regardless if the accident was not your fault the lawyers will come after you personally for the accident because you were driving illegally. This doesn’t include the civil and criminal penalties.
There are very few reasons that will disqualify a driver from passing his physical. Call me if you have questions I am here to help.

@ Dr. Timothy Knuuttila
Thanks, it is difficult trying to answer questions when the driver is looking to keep his livelihood, but is misleading the CME. Most drivers do not realize that we at DOTPhysicalDoctors are here to help, not disqualify. Nor do they realize the possible negative impact misleading the examiner can lead to. Thanks again. Trucker Docs
We truley are here to help and I do care about every driver I see. The bottom line is this: A driver can have 10 health problems and as long as those 10 health problems are adaquately treated and monitored by the drivers doctor, there should be no reason that driver can’t continue driving.
Dr. Knuuttila
Great friendly professional service. I’ve been coming for five years to get my dot physical and never a bad experience. Sometimes same day service.
Dr Knuuttila is just the best. I needed a dot physical asap. His staff was so nice they were able to take me as a walk-in. Everything was so easy and everyone was so friendly. Dr. Knuuttila did a great job of making me feel welcome and comfortable. For someone like me who has anxiety this was perfect. He even made the time to educate me on some of my chiropractor needs plus did a few adjustments that was needed. I cannot that Dr. Knuuttila enough and look forward to more appointments to get earthing back in line. Definitely recommend
Great doctor professional well recommended
First time getting a DOT physical with Dr. Knuuttila. He makes you feel at home and it feels like you’re talking to a friend. He’s very knowledgeable and professional. Also, I do plan on going back to him every time I need anything.
Thanks Tony for the nice review. I know it’s a pain to find time to go get your DOT physical. I know that when you go to some of the urgent care offices you can feel like just another number. I have heard drivers complain that they sit at the urgent care and waste hours, waiting for their turn. It doesn’t have to be that way and my office is here to help. We know your time is valuable and you will never be treated like you are just another physical that we have to do…..
Was able to get me asap and was super streamlined not a wait time. Great person to talk to. Will come back for future physicals. Thank you Dr. Knuuttila!
Thank you John I will see you at your next physical.
Everytime I come to see Dr Knuuttila, he approach you with a smile and make you confident.I recommend anyone wanting a great service to see Dr Knuuttila.
I’m pretty much dead set on Dr.Knuuttila’s office being my one and only place to get my DOT physicals performed. Friendly, clean, organized, and the entire office smells great.
Best DOT physical I’ve had yet. Straight, to the point, and the Doc gave me some real advice that i needed.
Came for a DOT physical. Great service friendly staff walk ins welcome. In and out in a very timely manner.
Thanks Cyle for the review. There is no good reason to sit for hours in a clinic to get your DOT physical. Come to our office and we will have you in and out in a timely manner as Cyle put it.
Today I saw Dr. Knuuttila for my DOT Physical and I learned I may have Sleep Apnea and I have never been told that. Basically he has put me on a journey to save my life and I am ever so grateful. Dr. Knuutila CARES, he does not just send you on your way. Doc educated me for a healthy lifestyle. Doc is the man. I highly recommend Dr. Knuutila. 🙂
I do care. Untreated sleep apnea will damage the heart and can cause; a heart attack, heart murmurs, A-fib, tachycardia and many other medical problems. Sleep apnea is a condition that is easy to treat and if treated will prevent you from having secondary complications of the heart that could potentially end your life.
I had sleep apnea an did no it an he help me thru it he made a difference in my life
Really convenient close to license office, great doctor and awesome staff.
The Doc is really genuine and does the job to your satisfaction.
One of the best doctors I have been to definitely a recommendation from me.
A DOT medical examiner should be genuine and should do a good job. I appreciate your compliment Omar.
The doc did a great job. You can tell he genuinely cares about the health of drivers and he takes the time to answer any questions and talk to you about any possible concerns with your health.
Dr. Knuuttila was good to work with. He genuinely cares about his patients.
Good experience. Good man.
