How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Houston 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 Houston
- Book early. The civil surgeon must sign your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
- Ask for the full price up front. Each clinic sets its own fee, and lab tests or vaccines can add to it.
- Bring your passport, your vaccine records and a list of the medicines you take now.
- Plan for lab results. Blood tests can take a few days to two weeks before the form is ready.
Civil surgeons in Houston: FAQs
Do civil surgeons in Houston accept insurance?
Often they do not. USCIS does not set the price, and each civil surgeon sets their own fee. Health insurance often does not cover the exam, because it is for immigration and not for treatment. Call the Houston clinic before you book and ask what you will pay out of pocket. Total cost commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more, depending on lab tests and vaccines.
How do I find a civil surgeon in Houston?
Only doctors designated by USCIS can be civil surgeons. Use the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool on uscis.gov and search by your Houston ZIP code. Then compare a few nearby clinics on rating, review count and hours. Call ahead to confirm the doctor still does immigration exams and to ask about the fee and wait time.
How long does a green card medical exam in Houston take?
The visit itself is usually short, but the paperwork is not always same day. Blood test results usually take a few days to two weeks before the civil surgeon can complete Form I-693. Ask the Houston clinic when you book how long they expect, and leave buffer time before your I-485 filing date.
What should I bring to my immigration medical exam in Houston?
Bring a government photo ID such as your passport, your vaccination records, a list of current medicines, past chest X-ray results if you have them, and payment. The civil surgeon gives you the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope. Do not open it. Send it with your Form I-485.
