The FMCSA has announced that they are proposing to remove Dr. Le and Dr. Mai from the National Regis
Attention, drivers! If you’ve had a DOT physical exam with Dr. Jenny Le or Dr. Dustin Mai in the Houston area, you need to act quickly. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has announced that they will be removing these two doctors from the National Registry of Medical Examiners due to non-compliance with federal DOT physical examination standards.
What Does This Mean for You?
Over 15,000 drivers are affected by this, as FMCSA has voided all Medical Examiner’s Certificates (MECs) issued by Dr. Le and Dr. Mai between March 2023 and March 2025. If you received your DOT medical certificate from one of these doctors, it is now invalid.
While this action does not immediately impact your ability to continue operating your commercial motor vehicle (CMV), you must obtain a new medical certificate by May 10, 2025 from a certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry. If you fail to do so, your state’s driver’s licensing agency (SDLA) will begin the process of downgrading your CDL.
What You Need to Do
- Check your certificate: If it was issued by Dr. Le or Dr. Mai, it is no longer valid.
- Find a new medical examiner: There are over 38,000 active medical examiners listed on the National Registry, so finding one near you should be easy.
- Schedule your exam: Make sure you get your new DOT physical completed by May 10, 2025, to avoid any issues with your CDL.
