His site is hosted from his ISP, and it sounds like he operates out of the local airport (I don't know if that's common for AMEs or not). Having not dealt with any AME before, this raises red flags for me. Yet I always hear him highly recommended.
I want to make sure my files (and money) are in good hands here... has anyone here personally dealt with him?

Or have a recommendation of any other "difficult case" AMEs (in the US)?
I only get one first medical, I do -not- want to choose the wrong person to handle it.
