The Aviation Medical Center Of Virginia at the Wagner Kapoor Institute in Virginia Beach, has always provided an awesome experience during my FAA First Class Medical exam(s)!!!

A. Estes

I can’t imagine a better AME. He has been a huge help with some of my more complicated issues and, I believe, has a tight, direct line, with the FAA.

Been using Dr. Carwell for years. Thorough, but quick. And as a pilot, he and his fantastic staff understand pilots. The best.
