How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Boston 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 Boston
- Book early. The civil surgeon must sign Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
- Ask what the total fee covers before you book. Lab tests and vaccines can add to the base price.
- Bring your passport, vaccine records and a list of medicines. Missing records can mean extra shots or delays.
- Blood test results can take a few days to two weeks. Plan your filing date around that wait.
Civil surgeons in Boston: FAQs
What is a civil surgeon for?
A civil surgeon is a doctor USCIS designates to do the immigration medical exam. In Boston, that doctor reviews your health and vaccine history, orders the required tests, and completes Form I-693. You send the sealed form with your Form I-485. You can confirm a doctor's designation with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool on uscis.gov.
Who are the top civil surgeons in Boston?
There is no official ranking. The list above scores Boston area clinics by Google rating, review count and search visibility. Those ratings reflect general patient experience, not immigration exam quality alone. Confirm the clinic is USCIS-designated, ask about the total fee, and read recent reviews before you choose.
How much does a green card medical exam cost in Boston?
USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee. In Boston and nearby cities, the total 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 by phone.
Can I use an urgent care center in Boston for my immigration exam?
Only if a USCIS-designated civil surgeon works there. Many urgent care centers treat everyday illness and do not complete Form I-693. Call first and ask two things: is a designated civil surgeon on staff, and can they do the full immigration exam and lab work in one visit.
