Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in Florissant, MO

A straight run south on I-170

Florissant is one of the few communities with a county public health site inside its own boundaries — the DPH Koch Park office on Charbonier Road. It is worth knowing what that office does and does not cover before you rely on it, because for adult catch-up immunizations you will be directed elsewhere.

What is covered at the visit

History, the focused USCIS examination, an immunization review with catch-up doses, and required tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea testing on site — 2 to 6 hours. See fees and timeline for cost and turnaround and vaccine requirements for the dose list.

Why a designated civil surgeon

USCIS accepts the I-693 from designated physicians only, and an incorrectly completed form returns as a Request for Evidence. Dr. Padda is designated (CSID 111051) and board-certified by five American specialty boards.

Getting here from Florissant

4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 102 is a short drive south on I-170, directly beside Lambert Airport, with parking at the building.

Who we see from Florissant

Adjustment-of-status applicants and their families across Florissant and north county, and N-648 evaluations where a medical condition prevents passing the citizenship test.

N-648 evaluations, separately

For applicants whose medical or mental-health condition prevents them completing the English and civics requirement, the N-648 disability waiver is a distinct evaluation, performed here and in the applicant’s own language where that helps.

Adult doses: where Florissant applicants actually go

Vaccination gaps delay more I-693s than any other single factor. The county’s Koch Park site on Charbonier Road is a WIC office, and WIC serves women, infants and children rather than general adult immunization — so for adult catch-up doses, use one of the two north county health centers, or have them given at your exam.

Each runs a walk-in vaccine clinic with a sliding fee discount for uninsured patients below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, and both accept insurance and Medicaid. Hours change — call ahead.
