Senior Aviation Medical Examiner - Serving professional Pilots across Ohio
Located on the field at Ashland County airport (3G4) and Lorain Co. Airport (KLPR) our goal is to support the aviation medical needs of professional pilots in a relaxed office setting and make the medical certification process as painless as possible. We work with the FAA Great Lakes Regional Flight Surgeons Office and the FAA Aviation Medical Certification Division when necessary to reduce delays involving complex aeromedical issues, provided those issues do not impact aviation safety concerns. While our special interest is providing convenient appointment scheduling to and advising professional pilots regarding aviation related healthcare issues we provide the same service to general aviation pilot as well as the schedule permits. If you are a not a professional pilot please call the office to schedule to check availability.
