How we ranked these civil surgeons

We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale

  • Check that the doctor is on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon list before you book. Only designated doctors can complete Form I-693.
  • Book early. The civil surgeon must sign your I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
  • Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of medicines and past chest X-ray results. Missing records can mean extra shots and delays.
  • Ask for the full fee before the visit, including lab tests and vaccines. Each office sets its own price and insurance often does not cover it.

Civil surgeons in Fort Lauderdale: FAQs

What is a civil surgeon for?

A civil surgeon is a doctor USCIS designates to do the immigration medical exam. In the Fort Lauderdale area, that doctor reviews your health and vaccine history, runs the required tests, and completes Form I-693. USCIS uses the form to check that you are not inadmissible for health reasons. You send the sealed form with your Form I-485.

Who is the most known civil surgeon in Fort Lauderdale?

There is no official ranking of civil surgeons. Our list scores Fort Lauderdale area offices by Google rating and review count, plus Google visibility, so a high spot means many good reviews, not fame. Before you book, confirm the doctor on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool.

How much does a green card medical exam cost in Fort Lauderdale?

USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon in the Fort Lauderdale area sets their own fee. Total cost commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more, depending on lab tests and how many vaccines you need. Health insurance often does not cover it, so ask for the full price before you book.

How long does the green card medical exam take near Fort Lauderdale?

The visit itself is usually short, but blood test results take a few days to two weeks before the civil surgeon can sign Form I-693. Plan around that wait, and remember the form must be signed no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
