FAA Aviation Medical Examinations
Effective December 15, 2025 the Lorain County Airport office will be closed and all OhioAME operations will be consolidated to the Ashland County Airport (3G4) office.
I am no longer providing ATC exams -Air Traffic Controllers should contact Dr. Todd Zeiger at 330.339.4455 for ATC exams.
DO NOT SCHEDULE AS A 2ND CLASS MEDICAL ON MY WEBSITE IF YOU ARE AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM YOUR EXAM
Due to the unprecedented current shortage of AME services in this area I can no longer perform third class medical examinations or student exams for part 61 flight training. I encourage current third class pilots to transition to Basicmed exams that can be performed by your family doctor.
If you are in need of a third class medical or BasicMed exam Dr. Todd Zeiger or Dr. Lee Baggot has availability you can contact her at 216.333.7051. If you are a professional pilot or enrolled in a part 141 program you can schedule a first or second class medical on this website.
Senior Aviation Medical Examiner - Serving professional Pilots across Ohio
Located on the field at Ashland County airport (3G4) 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.
