How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Newark 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 Newark
- Book early. The civil surgeon must sign your I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485, and blood test results can take up to two weeks.
- Ask what the fee covers before you book. Each civil surgeon sets their own price, and lab tests or extra vaccines may cost more.
- Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of current medicines and any past chest X-ray results to the appointment.
- Confirm the doctor is on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon list, and ask whether the office handles Form I-693 often.
Civil surgeons in Newark: FAQs
Do civil surgeons in Newark accept insurance?
Often not. USCIS does not set the price, and each civil surgeon sets their own fee. Many offices ask for payment at the visit, and health insurance often does not cover the exam. Call the Newark office before you book and ask what the fee includes, such as lab tests and vaccines.
How do I check that a doctor in Newark is a real civil surgeon?
Use the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool on uscis.gov. Type in your Newark ZIP code and confirm the doctor's name and address match. Only doctors USCIS designates can complete Form I-693. If a clinic is not on the list, its exam will not count for your green card case.
Who is the best civil surgeon in Newark?
There is no official ranking. The list above is scored by Google rating, review count and search visibility, not by USCIS. Read recent reviews, check that the doctor is on the USCIS list, ask about the total fee, and pick an office you can reach easily from your part of Newark.
How long does a green card medical exam take in Newark?
The visit itself is usually short. The wait is in the lab work. Blood test results often take a few days to two weeks before the civil surgeon can sign Form I-693. Plan for that gap so the signed form is dated within 60 days before you file Form I-485.
