No it should be the same as the one that the DWP would do.

Historically most DLA assessments were/are done by doctors, that doesn't guarantee it will be fair but it makes it more likely, also you have the advantage that those making the Decision have already had sight of all your evidence so an assessment report that bears no resemblance to what you have submitted will raise some questions.

If you asked for an Oral hearing then a hearing will be arranged once the report is produced, in either case, you will receive a copy of the report and will have an opportunity to comment on the content before a hearing takes place.
