Employment Physicals Clinic in Clarkston, GA

At Lifeline Primary Care, we understand that starting a new job often requires meeting specific health and safety standards. That’s why we offer comprehensive employment physicals tailored to meet the needs of both employers and employees.

An employment physical is a thorough medical examination designed to assess whether you are physically and mentally prepared to perform the duties required for your new position. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, conduct a detailed physical examination, and, if needed, order laboratory tests, vision or hearing assessments, or drug screenings—all conveniently available at our clinic.

Workplace safety and productivity are top priorities for employers. Employment physicals are especially important for jobs that involve physical labor, operating machinery, or roles where health conditions could impact safety, such as commercial driving or healthcare positions. Lifeline Primary Care ensures that these exams are conducted with precision and care, helping employers comply with legal and insurance requirements, reduce the risk of workplace injuries, and identify any pre-existing conditions that could be affected by job duties.

Additionally, our employment physicals can establish a baseline for your health, which may be helpful if an injury occurs while on the job. At Lifeline Primary Care, we are committed to supporting your health and well-being as you transition into your new role.

During your employment physical exam at Lifeline Primary Care, a dedicated healthcare provider will:

• Review Your Medical History: We’ll discuss your past illnesses, surgeries, medications, allergies, and family health history to get a complete picture of your health.

• Conduct a General Physical Examination: Our provider will check your vital signs—including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—and measure your height, weight, and body mass index (BMI).

• Vision and Hearing Tests: To ensure you meet the sensory requirements for your position, we may perform vision tests (including visual acuity and color vision) and hearing assessments.

• Laboratory Screenings: Depending on employer requirements, a urinalysis may be conducted to screen for medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney problems, and in some cases, to test for drug or alcohol use. Blood tests may also be ordered to evaluate cholesterol, blood sugar, and organ function.

• Musculoskeletal Assessment: For roles with physical demands, we’ll assess posture, mobility, joint function, muscle strength, and flexibility to identify any issues that could impact your job performance or safety.

• Additional Testing: Based on the nature of your job, additional tests such as tuberculosis (TB) screening, respiratory function tests, and immunization updates may be required—especially for healthcare and safety-sensitive positions.

Our experienced providers are committed to delivering accurate, timely evaluations that meet employer requirements and industry regulations. We prioritize your comfort and privacy, and we’re always available to answer your questions or address your concerns.

A little preparation can help ensure your visit goes efficiently and that your results accurately reflect your health.

What to Bring:
Please gather any relevant medical documents, such as your immunization records, a list of current medications (including dosages), and details about any ongoing or chronic health conditions.

If your employer has provided any specific forms or paperwork for us to complete, bring those along to your appointment.
Don’t forget a valid photo ID and your insurance information, if applicable.

Before Your Appointment:
Some employment physicals may require fasting, especially if bloodwork is needed. If you’re unsure whether you need to fast, please call Lifeline Primary Care ahead of time and our staff will be happy to advise you.

On the day of your exam, wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access for measurements and examination.

Try to avoid excessive caffeine, tobacco, or strenuous exercise right before your appointment, as these can affect your vital signs like blood pressure or pulse.

During Your Exam:
Be open and honest with your healthcare provider at Lifeline Primary Care about your medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol use, and exercise routines. This information is important for accurate evaluation and documentation.

If you use vision or hearing aids, please bring them with you, as vision and hearing tests may be part of your exam.

Additional Tips:
Get a good night’s sleep before your visit—being well-rested helps your vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, be at their baseline.

Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and to allow time for check-in.

An employment physical exam usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete. The exact length of your visit may vary depending on the requirements of your employer and the specific demands of the job. During your pre-employment physical, our dedicated healthcare providers will review your medical history, check your vital signs (such as blood pressure and heart rate), and conduct a thorough physical examination.

Depending on the position you’re applying for, additional screening tests may be required. These can include vision and hearing assessments, drug testing, or laboratory work, which may extend your appointment time. For jobs involving physical activity or safety-sensitive duties, we may also evaluate your ability to perform certain physical tasks.

To ensure a smooth and efficient visit, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork. Most employment physicals at Lifeline Primary Care are completed within an hour, but the process may be quicker if no additional tests are required. Our team is committed to making your experience as convenient and comprehensive as possible.
