How much does a reflex test for legs cost?

-This depends on the doctor seen and you don't have to see a specialist to have a routine reflex testing done, though you may have to have a physical exam done. -Reflex testing is included in essentially all routine physical exams, like with a physical exam required for one to pass, to play a sport in High School. General reflex testing isn't usually done separately from a physical exam. -A general physical exam/PE or checkup, includes checking your blood pressure/BP, heart rate/HR, respiratory rate/RR (breathing rate), listening to your lungs & heart and checking your general reflexes. -These physical exams, on average, can cost: $30.00-60.00 (but again, this varies on locale/city, the physician/doctor's office, the Urgent Care Clinic or an Outpatient Care Clinic, etc). *Your best bet is to go to an 'Urgent Care' Clinic or 'Outpatient Care' Clinic, that does physical exams, unless you already have a regular doctor. A Clinic's fee is usually less or can be about the same as a doctor's office, but you won't have to make an appointment to get this done, as you just walk into an Urgent Care or Outpatient Care clinic at any given time. -I do recommend you call a few places to compare prices/fees and one may even agree to just check your reflexes, though they may still charge you the same as a physical exam, but maybe not, as it doesn't take much time to check general reflexes. -If you have a regular doctor, the cost will usually be whatever he/she charges for an office visit, though a majority of doctors do lower the cost for a general physical exam and you can ask your doctor to check your reflexes any time you see them. -If you're experiencing numbness, burning or tingling sensations in any one or both of your arms, hand(s), foot/feet or in leg(s) on occasion to more frequently, YOU should seek medical attention ASAP. -Hope this helps and is understandable (and I am in the medical field :) (I corrected an area, so should make sense now..LoL)
