During your visit, we begin by reviewing your detailed medical history, including current medications, past illnesses, surgeries, and any chronic conditions. We then assess your vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to establish a baseline of your health.

Because clear vision and hearing are essential for safe navigation, our exam includes thorough vision testing—covering both near and distance vision as well as color vision screening to detect color blindness that could affect your ability to interpret navigation aids. We also conduct hearing assessments to ensure you can respond appropriately to alarms, radio communications, and verbal instructions.

To promote safety at sea, our practice also screens for signs of substance abuse. Depending on your personal and professional needs, this may include urine or blood testing, as well as screening for alcohol or drug use. If required by licensing authorities or indicated by your medical history, we may recommend additional tests such as EKGs, chest x-rays, or laboratory work.
