I went to Evanston-Rogers Park Family (Serafin Veramendi).  Good office and friendly staff.  Be prepared to wait for a long time though.  The X-ray is not done in the office.  After the medical exam you will be directed to a different office (can't remeber the address but it's somewhere Lincoln Park - 15 min drive for the DMPs office) where they do the X-ray right away.  Both the Evanston-Rogers Clinic and the X-ray clinic don't accept credit/debit cards so bring cash (about $250 for the medical exam and $80 for the X-ray).  Prepare to take a day off work and bring a book to read... Eat something before your get in line... and bring a water.

Thanks a lot for the response GK!!!

One more question, assuming you're male, did the doctor perform a nude/genital exam for you? I'm just a little shy of a full physical examination.

[GK]

The DMP will do routine blood works, urine tests, check your hart and blood presure.  They will test for HIV and ask a few questions about yours and your family's medical history.  They will also do a lung x-ray.  DMP will not discuss any of the results with you.

So there was no genital/phyiscal examination performed?

[GK]

No, you don't have to worry about that

Also, how soon after the medical, did serafin veramandi send the results to CIC office?

[GK]

I'm not sure how long it takes to get all the test results and reveiw the x-ray?  Without knowing for sure, assume it will take DMP 1 week to complete the test results and send to Immigration.  It will probably take Immigration about 30 days to receive, review and update your file.  But again, it's a guess.
