American Medical Review

What American Medical Review does

American Medical Review is a privately held occupational and personal health testing provider founded in 1998 by Dr. G. A. Vercellotti and headquartered in the greater Chicago metropolitan area, with a new office opening in Crest Hill, IL in 2026. The company delivers a broad portfolio of testing and examination services centered on drug and alcohol screening (urine, hair, rapid screens, and breath alcohol), DOT physicals performed by an NRCME-certified medical examiner, and ancillary offerings including fitness-for-duty evaluations, chiropractic care, hazmat physicals, respirator fit testing, DNA paternity testing, and hearing tests. The practice operates from a small clinical footprint with 19 employees and combines in-office appointments with on-site and mobile collection services for employer clients.

The business is run as a founder-owned, privately held practice with no disclosed outside funding, partnerships, or institutional investors. Customer engagement spans B2B employers in regulated industries (transportation, hazardous materials, safety-sensitive roles) requiring compliance-driven testing, as well as direct-to-consumer demand for paternity, personal drug screening, and chiropractic services. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, and the company maintains a transactional, long-tail customer mix rather than disclosed enterprise anchor contracts. The DrugTesters.com web channel, launched in 2000, functions as the primary digital intake surface for both employer and consumer orders.

There is no evidence of proprietary technology investment beyond a deterministic pool-randomization tool, no AI/ML capabilities, no data products, and no disclosed M&A or partnership activity. Competitive positioning rests on the medical examiner's regulatory certification, multi-decade regional presence, and the convenience of a one-stop service bundle across drug testing, DOT compliance, and adjacent occupational health lines.
