How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Los Angeles and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.
Designations can change. Before you book, confirm the doctor with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool.
Tips for booking your exam in Los Angeles
- Confirm the doctor is still listed in the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool before you book. Only designated doctors can sign Form I-693.
- Ask what the total fee includes: the exam, lab tests and any vaccines. Each Los Angeles office sets its own price.
- Book a few weeks before you file. Your civil surgeon must sign the I-693 no more than 60 days before USCIS gets your I-485.
- Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of current medicines and any past chest X-ray results. Blood results can take days to two weeks.
Civil surgeons in Los Angeles: FAQs
What is a civil surgeon doctor?
A civil surgeon is a doctor that USCIS designates to perform the immigration medical exam. For a green card, that exam goes on Form I-693. Not every doctor can do it. In Los Angeles you will find family doctors, medical clinics and urgent care centers on the list, but only the designated ones can sign your form.
Who is the best doctor in Los Angeles?
There is no single best doctor for everyone. The list above ranks Los Angeles offices by Google rating and review count, so a clinic with many reviews may rank above one with only a few. Read recent reviews, check that the doctor is still USCIS-designated, and pick an office near you with hours that fit your schedule.
How much is a civil surgeon visit in Los Angeles?
USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee, and in a big city like Los Angeles the total commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more. Lab tests and extra vaccines can push it higher. Health insurance often does not cover the exam, so ask for the full price before you book.
How can I find a civil surgeon using the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool?
Go to uscis.gov and open the Find a Civil Surgeon tool. Type your ZIP code, choose a distance and search. The results show designated doctors near you. Write down two or three names, then call each office to ask about price, wait times and whether they do I-693 exams for Los Angeles applicants.
