Physicals & Testing

The everyday paperwork of life and work, handled fast and done correctly: physicals for jobs and sports, tuberculin skin testing for school and employment, and South Carolina medical tint waivers.

Pre-employment physicals

Many employers require a physical before your first day. We complete the exam and the paperwork in one visit: health history review, vital signs, vision check, and the hands-on assessment your employer's form requires. Bring the employer's paperwork and a photo ID, and plan on leaving with everything signed.

Sports physicals, ages 13 and up

Pre-participation physicals for student athletes ages 13 and up cover the essentials: heart and lung exam, blood pressure, vision, musculoskeletal screening, and a review of personal and family health history. Bring your school's form and any history of injuries or conditions; walk-ins are welcome.

Tuberculin skin testing (PPD)

We offer both one step and two step TB skin testing for employment, school, and volunteer requirements.

  • One step: a single PPD placement, read 48 to 72 hours later. Most annual requirements use this.
  • Two step: two tests placed one to three weeks apart, used for new healthcare hires and others being tested for the first time, to establish a reliable baseline.
  • Plan your week: every placement needs a return visit for the reading within the 48 to 72 hour window.

Tint waivers

South Carolina allows a medical waiver for darker window tint when a qualifying condition, such as light sensitivity from a medical condition or medication, makes standard tint insufficient. We evaluate your condition and complete the required medical certification for your waiver application.

Common questions

What is the difference between one step and two step TB testing?
A one step test is a single PPD placement read 48 to 72 hours later. A two step test repeats the process one to three weeks later to establish a baseline, and is typically required for new healthcare employees or anyone without a recent documented test.
Do you do sports physicals for middle and high school athletes?
Yes, for ages 13 and up. Bring your school's pre-participation form and your health history. Walk-ins are welcome.
What do I need for a tint waiver in South Carolina?
A medical evaluation documenting a qualifying condition, plus the completed certification for your application. We handle both parts in one visit.
