Choosing a civil surgeon in Montgomery County

Not every doctor can sign Form I-693: USCIS grants the civil surgeon designation individually, and it is the first thing to verify. A regular family doctor in Montgomery County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Ohio civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Pricing near Trotwood tracks the wider Ohio norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. Language support across Montgomery County commonly includes Spanish, Arabic and Turkish.
