How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Chicago 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 Chicago
- Check the doctor on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool 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 payment. Missing records can mean repeat visits or extra shots.
- Ask how long lab results take. Blood work often needs a few days to two weeks before the sealed envelope is ready.
Civil surgeons in Chicago: FAQs
What is a civil surgeon for?
A civil surgeon is a doctor USCIS designates to do the immigration medical exam. In Chicago, that doctor reviews your health and vaccine history, orders the required tests, and completes Form I-693. You send the sealed envelope with your Form I-485. USCIS will not accept the form from a doctor who is not on its list.
Which city has the best doctors in the US?
There is no official ranking of cities by doctor quality. What matters more is finding a doctor who fits your needs. For a green card medical exam in Chicago, read recent reviews, pick a clinic that is easy to reach, and confirm the doctor on the USCIS civil surgeon list before you book.
What is the #1 hospital in Chicago?
We do not rank hospitals. This page covers civil surgeons in Chicago for the green card medical exam, not general hospital care. If you need a hospital for another reason, ask your primary doctor for a referral. For the immigration exam, use the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool to check your doctor.
How much does a green card medical exam cost in Chicago?
USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon in Chicago 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.
