To be issued a green card in the United States, you need to pass a health exam called an immigration physical. St Andrews Medical Center provides immigration physicals to make sure your vaccinations are up to date and that you don’t have any dangerous physical or mental health conditions.

Immigration physicals are physical examinations that you must get as part of the process of becoming a United States citizen. You must get your immigration physical from a physician designated in order for it to be valid. At St Andrews Medical Center, Dr. Marouni is a medical director who can provide physical exams according to all guidelines and requirements so you can obtain a green card.
