Annual Physical Exams
Your annual physical is the cornerstone of preventive care. At Acton Medical Clinic, this comprehensive visit includes a head-to-toe examination, review of vital signs, health history update, and age-appropriate screenings. We’ll assess blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other key markers — ordering lab work as needed — and discuss any concerns about your current or future health.
What’s Included
Your physical covers cardiovascular health, respiratory function, musculoskeletal assessment, and a review of any chronic conditions or medications. We update your immunization record and provide guidance on diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications that can meaningfully improve your long-term health. All results are reviewed with you clearly so you leave informed and confident in your next steps.
Why It Matters
Many serious and costly conditions — including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers — develop gradually and silently. Annual physicals make early detection possible, giving you and your provider the chance to intervene before a condition becomes significantly harder to manage. Patients who maintain regular preventive visits consistently experience better long-term health outcomes.
School & Sports Physicals
School and sports physicals are required annually for most student athletes and are often needed before the start of a new school year. At Acton Medical Clinic, we make the process fast and convenient — same-day appointments are frequently available so families can get cleared without disrupting busy schedules.
What We Evaluate
Our exams follow state-approved guidelines and include a review of medical history, vision and hearing checks, cardiovascular screening, and a musculoskeletal assessment. We evaluate physical readiness for athletic participation and flag any concerns that warrant follow-up before your student takes the field.
Fast Turnaround for Busy Families
We understand that school physicals often come with a deadline. Our team works efficiently to complete all required documentation so you walk out with everything signed and ready to submit. Call ahead or come in — we’ll do our best to accommodate you the same day.
DOT Physical Exams
Commercial motor vehicle drivers are required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to maintain a current DOT Medical Certificate. Acton Medical Clinic’s providers are certified DOT Medical Examiners who conduct thorough, FMCSA-compliant physical examinations for CDL holders and other commercial drivers in Granbury and the surrounding Hood County area.
What the DOT Physical Includes
The DOT physical is a comprehensive medical evaluation assessing your fitness to safely operate a commercial vehicle. It includes vision and hearing testing, blood pressure and cardiovascular evaluation, urinalysis, and a full review of your medical history and any conditions that may affect your ability to drive — including controlled hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, and prior cardiac events.
Keeping You on the Road
Our certified medical examiners will walk you through any findings and work to ensure your certification is in order. Same-day DOT physicals are often available — call 817-326-3440 to confirm availability.
FAA Flight Physicals
Acton Medical Clinic is home to one of the only FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiners (AME) in Hood County. Dr. David Blocker is authorized to conduct FAA medical examinations for all classes of airmen certification — whether you are a student pilot, private pilot, commercial pilot, or ATP certificate holder.
All Three Classes of FAA Physicals
First Class certificates are required for airline transport pilots and carry the most stringent standards. Second Class certificates are required for commercial pilots. Third Class certificates cover private pilots and recreational flyers. Dr. Blocker will guide you through the appropriate evaluation and documentation for your certification class.
Local, Experienced, and Uniquely Qualified
Pilots in the Granbury area no longer need to travel far for their FAA medical exam. Dr. Blocker brings over 21 years of US Air Force flight surgeon experience to every evaluation — providing the expertise and attention to detail that pilots deserve. Call 817-326-3440 to schedule.
Pediatrics
Acton Medical Clinic provides comprehensive pediatric care for infants, children, and adolescents. From routine well-child visits and immunization schedules to acute illness treatment and school physicals, our providers give your children the attentive, compassionate care they need to grow up healthy and strong.
Well-Child Visits & Developmental Milestones
Regular well-child visits are critical from infancy through adolescence. At each visit we track growth and development against age-appropriate milestones, administer recommended vaccinations, and screen for common childhood conditions including anemia, vision problems, and developmental delays. We take time to answer your questions and address parental concerns — because a healthy child starts with a supported family.
Sick Visits & Acute Care
When your child is ill, getting seen quickly matters. Acton Medical Clinic frequently offers same-day sick appointments for pediatric patients, so you’re not left waiting when your child has a fever, ear infection, sore throat, or other acute concern. We diagnose and treat the full range of common childhood illnesses and work with you to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
Geriatrics
Caring for older adults requires a thoughtful, whole-person approach that recognizes the unique medical and quality-of-life considerations that come with aging. At Acton Medical Clinic, our geriatric care services are designed to help patients 65 and older maintain their independence, manage chronic conditions, and live as fully and comfortably as possible.
Chronic Disease Management & Medication Review
Many of our older patients are managing more than one chronic condition — such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, COPD, or osteoarthritis — often with complex medication regimens. Our providers coordinate care thoughtfully, minimize unnecessary medications and interactions, and keep each patient’s treatment plan aligned with their health goals and personal preferences.
Preventive Screenings for Older Adults
We offer age-appropriate screenings for osteoporosis, cognitive decline, colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, and fall risk. Annual wellness visits for Medicare patients allow us to conduct comprehensive health assessments, update care plans, and ensure all preventive services are utilized. Our goal is to keep our senior patients healthier, longer.
Lab Services
Accurate diagnosis starts with reliable lab work. Acton Medical Clinic offers in-office laboratory services that allow us to order, collect, and process a wide range of diagnostic tests — often returning results during your visit or within a short turnaround. This means faster answers and faster care, without the added step of visiting a separate lab facility.
What We Test
Commonly ordered tests include complete blood counts (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panels, lipid panels, hemoglobin A1c for diabetes management, thyroid function tests, urinalysis, rapid strep and flu tests, and STI screenings. All results are reviewed directly with your provider, with clear explanations of findings and next steps.
Routine Monitoring & Chronic Disease Management
For patients managing ongoing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disease, regular lab monitoring is essential to keeping those conditions well controlled. We coordinate lab work with your routine appointments so your care stays proactive — not reactive.
Joint Injections
Joint pain from arthritis, bursitis, or injury can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life. Acton Medical Clinic offers therapeutic joint injections as an effective in-office treatment option for patients experiencing moderate to severe joint pain in the knees, shoulders, hips, and other major joints — administered with precision by our experienced providers.
Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid (cortisone) injections deliver a concentrated anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joint, providing significant pain relief and improved mobility — often within a few days of treatment. Relief can last from several weeks to several months depending on the joint, the underlying condition, and your individual response.
Who May Benefit
Joint injections are commonly recommended for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis that has not responded adequately to rest, physical therapy, or oral medications. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether an injection is the right next step. Same-day injections are frequently available for established patients.
Flu Shots & Immunizations
Acton Medical Clinic offers flu shots and a full range of immunizations for patients of all ages — from children receiving their first vaccines to adults keeping their boosters current. Flu shots are available seasonally, and we encourage the entire family to get vaccinated each year. Walk-ins are welcome for flu vaccines, and same-day appointments are frequently available.
Why Vaccinate Every Year
Influenza strains evolve from season to season, which is why annual vaccination remains the most effective protection available. Flu shots significantly reduce your risk of illness, hospitalization, and transmission to vulnerable members of your community — including young children, elderly patients, and those with compromised immune systems.
Additional Immunizations
Beyond the annual flu vaccine, Acton Medical Clinic provides immunizations for pneumonia, shingles, Tdap, hepatitis, and other conditions based on your age, health history, and risk factors. During your annual physical we’ll review your immunization record and make sure you’re fully up to date.
Acton Medical Clinic is your one-stop resource for the full range of specialty physical exams required for school, sports, work, and professional licensure. Our experienced providers conduct thorough, efficient evaluations that meet all applicable regulatory standards — and same-day appointments are often available so you can get cleared without unnecessary delays.
Whether your child needs a sports physical before the season starts, you require a DOT physical to maintain your commercial driver’s license, or you’re a pilot due for an FAA medical exam, our team is qualified and ready to help.
