Immigration Medical Exam
At Great City Medical in NYC, we offer USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) medical exams as required for an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Our immigration doctors are here to provide compassionate care and analysis during your immigration physical exam at our doctor’s office.
Our primary care physicians also provide other healthcare services including gynecology exams, ultrasounds, COVID-19 Antibody Testing, and more to our patients!
The purpose of the immigration medical examination is to test for any health conditions that are public health denying residency requests for green card applicants.
During your visit with the USCIS immigration doctor (USCIS civil surgeon), they will conduct a thorough immigration medical exam. This exam includes blood tests for communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and syphilis. They may also perform urine tests and chest x-rays.
During the immigration medical examination, the doctor will also provide you with any required vaccinations and go over your medical history, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, any harmful behavior, and medical records. See the vaccine requirements by applicant age, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Do I Need a COVID Vaccine Shot for an Immigration Exam?
Starting October 1st, 2021, the CDC requires the Covid vaccine for the immigration exam. The Covid vaccine means having two shots of Pfizer, two shots of Moderna, or one shot of the Johnson and Johnson shot. You can read more about the requirements from the CDC here.

I had a good experience here. Everyone was courteous and friendly. I liked the lady at the front desk who attended to me, although I didn’t catch her name. She actually remembered my name the second time I went in. They have good attention to details.The doctor was also kind and friendly..just as any doctor should be.

I’ve been using Great City Medical for more than 5 years now. I use their services because their staff is professional, and Drs Grana and Axelrud are caring, compassionate, thorough and take their time. The facility is spotless and clean. They follow up and make referrals when necessary. There are always patients but never overcrowed or long wait times. What more do you need? They’ve got it all!! I highly recommend them.

I think Dr. Akselrud’s bedside manner is exceptional. It mimics the hospitality depicted in movie, s yet rarely experienced in actual life. As such, I appreciate his expertise and welcome his opinion regarding my health and well-being.I consider him to be a Grade A physician without question!

I saw Dr. Yelena Tysba and she was very professional and courteous. She took her time with me and listened to my concerns. In addition, she was very gentle during my procedure and was very knowledgeable on various gynecological conditions. The ultrasound tech, Pat, was also very professional. During my ultrasound she was very kind, patient, and gentle. The two receptionist at the front desk and the nurse were also very professional while making my follow up appointment. I have been to this doctor’s office before and her diagnosis was accurate. I would recommend the GYN office to my family and friends.
