Default AME in the San Diego area

Dr. Zirpolo is retiring. I'm looking for a good airline pilot oriented AME in or around the San DIego area. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've been going all the way to SBA, only because I used to work up there, and didn't want to take my chances with a new guy.

El Cajon
Ginkel, L.F. (619) 440-6717…$65 Class 1,2,3 EKG $65 Mon; Tue; and Thur. only. ?

I went to this guy and he is a ex-navy guy. the only thing he does that is weird is the hearing test and a very different eye exam including the normal exams.

What does he do that's weird? How old is he?

There's also Dr. Esteb in Lakeside....nice guy but almost as old as Z, not sure how much longer he'll be around.

He is probably in his mid 60's. He has different ways of doing tests, a more practical version. I should of said 'different' not 'weird'.

He says "Pull my finger."

Then he asks "did you hear that?"
