The FAA medical certification process can be an airmen’s most formidable obligation. Yet, pilots at every level share the need for a strong healthcare advocate.  

That’s the mission of Dr. Keith Lemmon, an AME who recently opened Northwest Aviation Medicine-a medical practice centered on elevating standards of care specifically for pilots.

NW Aviation Medicine launched earlier this March. Conveniently located at Tacoma-Narrows airport in Washington, the practice specializes in airmen medical certification to include:

First, Second, and Third Class Aviation Medical Exams

EKG and Audiometer Hearing Testing

Airman Assistance with BasicMed

Aviation Medical Consulation

About Dr. Lemmon

Dr. Keith Lemmon recently retired from the US Army after 22 years of service. He is a highly respected Pediatrician with a long list of professional, military, and recreational accomplishments. Dr. Lemmon started his medical practice as a means to merge his two passions, medicine and aviation. He is even working towards his Commercial Pilot License, having 300 hours as a Private-Instrument rated pilot! He’s excited to begin serving his fellow pilots, dawning a new chapter in his civilian career. You can book an appointed at his website here! Just check out some of his recent reviews!

Dr Lemmon was recommended to me by my current AME who is retiring. Dr Lemmon was very professional and friendly. He was also flexible with my schedule meeting me at his examination office after normal business hours. 

If you are looking to get your aviation medical, call Dr. Lemmon with Northwest Aviation Medicine. Why do I say this? Because I needed my medical fast and was getting nowhere after many many phone calls, but he made it happen!

 I can honestly say Dr. Lemmon has broken the code on how to make getting a physical a pleasant and enjoyable experience! He truly cares about providing a stress free experience in a comfortable atmosphere.
