Choosing a civil surgeon in Lancaster County

The medical exam is a mandatory green card step for New Holland applicants, and only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can complete it. A regular family doctor in Lancaster County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Around New Holland, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Lancaster County frequently offer Spanish, Nepali and Arabic. Because New Holland is a small town, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby East Earl Township or Ephrata.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

A virtual pre-consult lets New Holland applicants review documents and vaccination records online before the required in-person exam — useful if your nearest office is in East Earl Township or beyond.
