Dr. Cappuccino is a senior aviation medical examiner with the FAA and offers first, second, and third class medical examinations. Dr. Cappuccino is also a commercially rated pilot and CFI and is passionate about aviation, most especially helping airmen safely obtain their medical certificates.
I personally oversee the entire examination including blood pressure screening, urinalysis, audiometrics, vision testing, and EKG. Do you have “white coat syndrome” and your blood pressure gets artificially elevated during an exam? Don’t worry, I have a great technique for assessing your true resting blood pressure. I offer the Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Test for color vision screening.
