Our Staff
Founded by F/A-18 pilots turned board certified Aerospace Medicine physicians, our medical staff now represents an even wider range of medical expertise and training. We are all FAA aviation medical examiners with additional experience that spans three different areas of board certification, advanced graduate education, and training from the Naval School of Aviation Safety. After years of helping friends and colleagues keep their medical certificates and stay in the air, we founded Wingman Med so we can do the same thing for you. As pilots, we understand the imperative of maintaining your FAA medical certificate and the urgency of getting it back when you lose it. As doctors, we specialize in getting it done.
