Default ORD medical?

Well, now that the awesome, Dr. Kitslaar is officially retired, who do you recommend for a 1st class medical? He (Dr. Kitslaar) mentioned a name to me last winter but I forgot who it was, and also thought that if a lot of us took the recommendation, it might be hard to get in to that Dr. I live southwest of the city a little ways, so someone on the Southwest side/suburbs would be most confident for me.

Any recommendations would be appreciated, thanks everyone!

Dr. Robotnik and Dr. Meredith Gray are the only one I can think of.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Moisan at Palos Hospital for nearly 25 years. Fair and painless exams and he’s an advocate and liaison to the FAA for you should something ever go wrong. He’s been an AME for a very, very long time and knows his stuff. Very highly recommended.

Niko Keys, off the Cumberland stop by ORD. If you're overall healthy, you'll be in and out in 15 minutes.

Ive been to him before. He was great, as long as you scheduled enough in advance, if I remember correctly, he has a cardiology practice.

Hes the one Dr. Kitslaar was recommending. I couldn't remember the name, but I was afraid if Dr. Kitslaar recommended him to everyone in his robust AME business, that it would be hard to get in to see him. I'm going to Dr. Bruce Chien tomorrow at the Bolingbrook/Clow airport. He was recommended to me by a fellow ORD commuting FO recently.

Thanks for all the responses. I apreciate the time you all took to respond and now I have a few more Dr's to consider if I ever need a last minute medical, which I usually do because I'm not senior enough to schedule in advance and bid the day off.

I have been to Keys, he is the off the first stop on the blue line. Easy to get to by train or car. He was working with Kitslar in the burbs, then decided to move close to the airport . I definitely recommend him , he is a lot like Kitslar .


Goggle his name and you can find his web page .
