Default Gilberto Munoz

Just got a card in the mail from Munoz. Says he does first, second and third class as well as Special Issuance. Has anyone been to him and will recommend? I'm moving to Lakeview soon.

A good friend of mine uses Dr David spindel AME in Evanston. I was also referred to Kitslaar.
I need to get my medical done and I was going to get a 1st class to make sure I could pass it.
Another friend recommended Dr Geoffrey Kuhlman in Bolingbrook.

Bit of a Necro reply but I just saw Dr Gilberto Munoz the other day and he is definitely a pilot friendly AME that I would recommend!

Anything other than Kitslaar inside ORD is the wrong response. That dude will have you in and out in five minutes.

This. Kitslaar is far and away the best AME you could see at ORD. Even the drive to his Geneva office isn’t bad and you’ll be in and out at the most 15 minutes.

Hello everyone. Long time reader, first-time poster.

My regular doc will be out of town, and I need to see another AME. Browsing through this thread, I see lots of good recommendations, and Kitslaar's name is one of the most recommended ones. I will try to book an appointment with Dr. Kitslaar, but before I go there I was wondering if any of you who have been going to Dr. Kitslaar remember if he uses the machine for checking vision or does the wall chart? Any idea which color plates he uses too? I am used to the old wall chart, and I get a bit nervous when I need to deal with unfamiliar procedures.

Thanks
jr

The doc can use a paper eye chart if the machine is not cooperating.

Bumping this thread. After years of seeing Dr Kitslaar, he has closed the ORD office (real bummer for ORD-based pilots). As much as I like the guy, I don't think I'm willing to make the drive to Geneva so can anyone recommend an AME closer in to the city? I've heard of Dr Munoz in Lincoln Park, any one used him recently and care to comment?
