My fascination with flight began early, inspired in large part by my uncle, a pilot who flew commercial jets and air refueling tankers in the National Guard. His stories and insights fueled my curiosity and deepened my appreciation for aviation.
When I saw a need for FAA medical exams in our community, I recognized an opportunity to combine my medical background with my lifelong interest in aviation. Offering these exams allows me to support the pilot community while staying connected to a field I’ve always admired. It’s an honor to serve those who take to the skies.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires pilots to be medically certified to fly. The FAA delegates authority to perform medical certification exams to physicians who complete specialized FAA training.
Physicians designated by the FAA are known as Aviation Medical Examiners (AME). A medical evaluation by an FAA Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) is called an FAA medical exam. This exam is also sometimes referred to as a flight physical.
When preparing for your FAA medical exam, it's important to bring the following items to ensure a smooth and efficient process:
MedXPress Confirmation Number: After completing your FAA Form 8500-8 online via MedXPress, you'll receive a confirmation number. Bring this number to your appointment, as it's essential for your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) to access your application. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Valid Government-Issued Photo Identification: This is required to verify your identity. Acceptable forms include a driver's license, passport, or other government-issued ID.
Relevant Medical Documentation: If you have any current or past medical conditions or are taking medications, bring copies of pertinent medical records including SODA's (Statement of Demonstrated Ability) from prior aviation exams. Specifically, the FAA requires detailed clinical progress notes rather than general summaries or after-visit summaries. These notes should provide comprehensive information about your condition and treatment. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Corrective Lenses: If you use glasses or contact lenses, bring them to the exam, as vision testing is a standard part of the medical evaluation.By ensuring you have these items ready for your appointment, you can help facilitate a thorough and timely examination process.
