The history of Kent D4 Medical is deeply rooted in the unwavering dedication of Mr. (Dr.) Strano, a surgeon whose mission in both the medical and surgical fields has always been guided by precision, compassion, and respect. Although often addressed as Dr. due to his professional background, Mr. Strano proudly carries the title Mr., reflecting his surgical training. His journey into specialist driver medicals began long before Kent D4 Medical itself was established. In October 2013, he formed Strano Medical Limited, laying the foundation for what would later become a trusted name in transport-sector healthcare. By 2019, recognising the increasing pressures faced by drivers and operators in meeting stringent DVLA and industry medical standards, he launched Kent D4 Medical a service designed to bring clarity, support, and expert care to all professionals who depend on their licence. Mr. Strano witnessed first-hand how stressful medical requirements could be for HGV, LGV, PCV, and taxi drivers.
Many felt overwhelmed, anxious, or confused about the process. To bridge this gap, he envisioned a dedicated centre built on professionalism, courtesy, and genuine understanding a place where every client would feel comfortable, respected, and fully supported. The Invicta horse of Kent, proudly displayed in our emblem, symbolises strength, resilience, and trust qualities that define not only the county but also the ethos of Kent D4 Medical.
Our Growth
Over the years, Kent D4 Medical has evolved far beyond its original purpose. What began as a centre focused primarily on HGV, LGV, PCV and taxi medicals has expanded to support an exceptionally wide range of professions and industries. Our services now extend to seafarers and maritime professionals, as well as workers in the construction industry who require Safety Critical Medical Certification.
We also assist airside staff working in airport environments, along with individuals involved in high-performance and specialist driving, including sports car drivers, motorbike racers, speed powerboat operators, and motorhome or horsebox drivers. Each expansion was introduced in direct response to the real and evolving needs of our community. Throughout this growth, one element has never changed: our commitment to ensuring that every client feels respected, supported and comfortable at every stage of the process.
Our Approach
Many clients arrive to their appointments feeling nervous or under pressure. We understand this deeply. For that reason, we have built a culture where politeness, empathy and clear communication come first. Before any examination begins, our focus is always on helping clients feel relaxed, confident and at ease. By creating a calm environment, we reduce stress and support better, more accurate assessments. As part of this commitment, we also offer free telemedicine support for our clients. This service allows individuals to ask questions, seek clarification and receive guidance before or after their appointments, ensuring they feel fully informed and supported throughout their entire journey with us.
Our Telemedicine Service
To support drivers who often struggle to access healthcare due to long hours and life on the road, we offer a dedicated TeleHealth service designed especially for them. Through simple online consultations, clients can access medical advice, referral letters or second opinions from their phone, tablet or laptop, without the need for travel or waiting rooms. Drivers can also monitor their own health with built-in tools for tracking blood pressure, heart rate, weight, temperature, blood sugar and symptoms. The platform includes practical driver-focused features such as working-hours tracking, payload and axle-weight calculations, fuel-efficiency monitoring and mileage estimation. Basic mental-health support and relaxation resources further help drivers maintain balance and wellbeing. Membership is completely free, with clients paying only when a consultation is needed. Available 24/7 and fully secure, our TeleHealth service ensures healthcare is always accessible wherever the road may lead.
Our Legacy
Today, Kent D4 Medical stands as one of Kent's most respected and trusted providers of medical services across the transport, construction, maritime and specialist-driving sectors. Our continued success reflects not only our medical expertise and regulatory knowledge but also the trust and relationships we build with every client. Each appointment represents more than a medical requirement; it is a step toward safeguarding the wellbeing, safety and professional future of those who work tirelessly across these industries. At the heart of our work, the emblem of the Invicta horse symbolises our ongoing promise: a legacy of professionalism, compassion and unwavering dedication to every client who walks through our doors.
