If you file Form I-485 inside the U.S., you need a green card medical exam from a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. In Tampa, that means finding a doctor on the USCIS list before you file, because the signed Form I-693 must go in with your I-485.

How we ranked these civil surgeons

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

  • Check the doctor on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool before you book. A good Google rating does not mean the clinic is USCIS-designated.
  • Book the exam so the civil surgeon signs your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
  • Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of current medicines, past chest X-ray results and payment. Health insurance often does not cover the exam.
  • Plan for blood test results to take a few days to two weeks. Ask the clinic when the sealed envelope will be ready.

Civil surgeons in Tampa: FAQs

Do I need a civil surgeon in Tampa for my green card medical exam?

Yes, if you file Form I-485 inside the U.S. Only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can complete Form I-693. A regular doctor, walk-in clinic or urgent care cannot sign it unless that provider is on the USCIS list. Check any Tampa doctor with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool before you book.

Can I get my immigration medical exam at a hospital like Tampa General Hospital?

Not automatically. Hospital size or reputation does not make a doctor a civil surgeon. Only doctors USCIS designates can complete Form I-693, so check the hospital or clinic on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool first. If the provider is not listed, the form will not be accepted.

How much does a green card medical exam cost in Tampa?

USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee, and total cost commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more. The final amount depends on the city, the lab tests and how many vaccines you need. Health insurance often does not cover it, so ask for the full price when you call.

How long does the exam take, and when should I book in Tampa?

The visit itself is usually quick, but blood test results can take a few days to two weeks before the civil surgeon finishes Form I-693. Book early enough that the form is signed no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485, and leave time to collect the sealed envelope.
