Default Flight Doc around AUS

Does any body have a recommendation for a flight doc for a 1st class around Austin, TX?

I just moved from AUS and went to Dr. Koen for the last several years. Absolutely agree 100%, don't go anywhere else. Just a heads up though, he can come across a little abrubt with the paperwork. Try to bring in the copy from your last physical if able, he likes everything done efficiently, i.e. just use PRNC instead of "previoiusly reported no change", things like that. Kinda funny sometimes to hear him reviewing 1st timer's forms. He also likes to have some fun doing some rapid fire cognitive testing. I cracked up my 2nd time, he laughed and told me a few stories about guys stressing while tyring to keep up. Really cool guy once you get to know him.

Dr. Koen is hilarious. He is abrupt and somewhat crazy but his physical is a breeze - He's an eye doctor but you'd never guess it - He'll start throwing his hands around having you follow his fingers get you all worked up and then take your blood pressure. Than laugh at you because your a tad over 120/80 but it's his fault for working you up. He does like the paperwork to be all his way - He'll write all the abbreviations to use on your next physical on the back of your med cert. I'm glad I found him because he surely has at least 20 years left on him unlike my old Doc in San Diego who has a foot and a half in the grave.
