First Class Medical Recommendation DFW
New to the area and looking for recommendations for a drama-free First Class medical with a doc who won't freak out over issues that have already been cleared with the FAA, please.
TIA.

A lot of people will recommend Griffin in Roanoke. He's cheap, but with him, you get what you pay for. It's a Class I factory...in and out. I've heard horror stories about guys who had issues and went to Griffin.
Personally, I use Krass. He's a little more expensive, but he ONLY does medicals (not regular medicine for people with no health insurance). He's very good at what he does. Simple, low stress and a friendly environment. I like him a lot. Google William Krass and you'll get his info.

You can also try Howard Eliason. He's one of our own pilots and runs his practice out of his home. He's a good guy, and will take care of you.

Would you recommend Dr. Smith as someone who can & will advocate effectively with the FAA in working through past issues toward the initial issuance of a First Class Medical?
Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Stephan Kramer (Frisco) in this same capacity?
I’m grateful for any insight you all may have, given AA’s significant presence in the DFW area.

Griffin is CHEAP!!! So plus one for pilots! However, I was at a dr’s last month so while waiting I called Griffin’s office and asked a question about a medication - and was told to call the FAA...
Uhhhhhhhhh, aren’t y’all my AME? Called MR at APA aeromedical (she should get paid way more) and she emailed me a list within 2 minutes - had it before the doc came back in the room.
Not sure I’m making the drive to Roanoke in two months
