USCIS civil surgeon · St. Louis
Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP, DABIPP, CPE
A DHS-designated civil surgeon and physician board-certified by five American specialty boards. Your Form I-693 immigration medical exam is done correctly the first time.
Why your civil surgeon matters
USCIS will only accept a Form I-693 from a physician it has designated as a civil surgeon. Beyond that designation, Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP brings the depth of a physician certified in anesthesiology, pain medicine, interventional pain, addiction medicine, and obesity medicine. He is also certified as a cognitive-assessment rater. That matters for the N-648 disability waiver. The result is an exam done right the first time. No Requests for Evidence to delay your green card.
