Dr. Furgang is a pilot, too. Medical examiners who are also aviators themselves usually understand the cockpit environment even better than most, and they understand the practical relevance as well as the checklist/textbook importance of the myriad medical exam elements.
Dr. Furgang graduated from New York University with a B.A. degree in physics, and from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons with the M.D. degree. He completed his residency in Anesthesiology at the University of Miami, and spent 15 years in private practice in Miami as the head of his anesthesia department, before joining the faculty of the University of Miami's School of Medicine. Dr. Furgang served with the U. S. Navy as a Diving Medical Officer, and currently serves as a Senior Aviation Medical Examiner for the FAA. He is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
As a pilot himself (ATP, CFI, CFII), Dr. Furgang believes pilot physical exams should be conducted in an 'aviator friendly,' non-medically threatening, environment. To make that a reality, he has opened an office in Reliance Aviation at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB). All classes of FAA physicals can be accommodated with on-site transmission of ECG's. Dr. Furgang has extensive experience helping pilots obtain medical certification in problem cases, and maintains an active HIMS program for pilots requiring special assistance.
Fly or drive in for your next FAA physical. Call or email for an appointment; evenings and weekends are available.

Periodic Medical Exams are a requirement for the privilege of flying in our
public airspace. We'll facilitate them as much as possible. If you are already familiar with the
process, you know that once you have your AME selected you must start the medical application (MedXPress) process ahead of the
visit. Remember, after submitting your FAA MedXPress application, the clock starts, and
you have only 60 days to complete your examination with an AME. If not accomplished,
the MedXPress application is deleted from the FAA's system, and you will then have to start over and submit
a fresh application.
Alternatively, if you want to forego a full Aviation Medical Certification, we have
information on the BasicMed option. This
alternative FAA aeromedical certification pathway carries restrictions
but much to the delight of BasicMed pilots, the
limitations were lightened in 2024. As of 2026 current BasicMed airframe restrictions have been loosened to allow a heavier max
aircraft takeoff weight of 12,500 lbs, and no more than 6 passengers (plus you the pilot = 7
total occupants). Learn more about the FAA BasicMed.
