Why should I choose Cherries Medical Clinic for my medical?
We have completed several hundred Taxi, PCO, Private Hire, Mini-Cab and Chauffeur Medicals for multiple councils (see full list below). Unlike other companies, you will receive a personalised service from Dr Anwar and should there be any concerns around not passing medical, you will be guided every step of the way to ensure you meet pass standards with personalised WhatsApp communication and direct number of the doctor. Dr Anwar has a very good understanding of council requirements and also assists with extra information particularly required from councils like TFL for diabetic or heart patients.

What happens if I don't pass the medical?
Whilst the majority of drivers >90% would usually pass the medical first time; there can be situations when one can fail the medical. The most common reasons tend to be an elevated blood pressure (beyond the BP 180/100mmHg standard) or failing visual eye standards according to DVLA Group 2 standards. Should this occur, then don't panic as most of the time this can be easily corrected by either having a further up-to-date eye test with an opticians or investing in a blood pressure machine to check home BP readings and making contact with your own GP to consider any BP medication or change in diet/lifestyle advice. You will have Dr Anwar's direct number who will be available to guide and answer any of your questions at any stage of the process before bringing you back for completion of the rest of the medical form.
