Definitely shop it around! I got a wide variety of prices. Doublecheck a site like Yelp for reviews on the doctors. Make sure you find out total costs, including immunizations, and how long the turnaround is. Make sure they give you a photocopy of the document inside the sealed envelope, and check the document for errors or omissions before you leave the doctor's office. Be sure to send in the sealed envelope with your forms, not a photocopy. Be prepared that the doctor might try to trip you up with questions as though a border agent. And don't go into the doctor's office looking or acting stoned. That's a summary of preventing every bad outcome I heard about.

Yes, definitely shop around for a civil surgeon who knows the drill for K-1ers. If you had your shots at St. Lukes, don't let them talk you into more shots or another medical exam. All you need is the transcription service they provide.

We paid about $35 for a civil surgeon to transcribe the info from the DS-3025 onto the I-693. It took about 15 minutes in their office.

For what it's worth, I had more success googling "civil surgeon in (my city)". The USCIS had dozens of names but some of them weren't even good numbers.
