I am a physician with a practice dedicated to aviation medicine. That means you will be sitting (briefly), in the waiting room with other pilots only, not with sick people sneezing and coughing and screaming children.

I am also a commercial pilot. I fly a 2007 glass-panel Piper Archer, and a part 91 corporate Pilatus PC12. I am a board-certified emergency physician, and former New York City Paramedic. I am currently working on my helicopter rating.

I will trade exams for helicopter time. I am not kidding.
