How we ranked these civil surgeons

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

  • Book early. The civil surgeon must sign your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485, and blood test results can take a week or two.
  • Ask what the total fee covers when you call. Each civil surgeon sets their own price, and lab tests or extra vaccines can add to the bill.
  • Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of your current medicines and past chest X-ray results. Missing records can slow the visit down.
  • Check the doctor on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool before you book. A clinic near Paterson may list immigration exams but not hold the current designation.

Civil surgeons in Paterson: FAQs

Do civil surgeons accept insurance?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. USCIS does not set the price, and each civil surgeon sets their own fee. Many clinics ask for payment at the visit, and health insurance often does not cover the exam. Call the Paterson area clinic you pick and ask what they accept before you book.

How much does a medical exam for a green card cost in Paterson?

There is no set price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee, and the total commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more. In the Paterson area, the final number depends on lab tests and how many vaccines you need. Ask for the full price, including labs, when you call.
