As a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner with over 23 years of U.S. Air Force experience, I understand the critical role your medical certification plays in keeping you in the skies. As a former Chief Flight Surgeon, Missouri State Air Surgeon, and Medical Group Commander, I’ve spent my career ensuring pilots are mission-ready—both in military and civilian aviation.
As a fellow pilot and Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument (CFII), I know firsthand the demands of aviation and the importance of a hassle-free, pilot-focused medical exam. At my clinic, you’ll receive expert, efficient, and pilot-friendly FAA flight physicals, ensuring you stay airworthy with minimal downtime.
We take pride in offering same-week or next-week appointments, minimizing delays in your certification process. My highly qualified team—including pilots and a flight RN—understands aviation from the inside out. Whether you need a routine medical exam, a CACI clearance, or help navigating complex special issuance cases, we make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
No matter where you’re coming from, you can expect the best aviation medical exam experience and highest-quality care available. Your wings are my priority—schedule your exam today and fly with confidence!
