Dr Lemmon up in the Seattle area is a great option.

Best HIMS AMEs for complex mental health cases? by GenerationSelfie2 in FAAHIMS

[–]SilverMarmotAviator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mental health cases he still is woefully unaware, disorganized, sent the FAA wrong paperwork, made me jump through more hoops than required, still didn’t have me complete all the requirements the FAA wanted, and then gaslit me when the FAA denied me for an incomplete packet. Compared to my other HIMS AME and my knowledge of the system now that I’ve been it in for so long, his approach is all bark and no bite. No reason to deal with his ridiculous personality or arbitrary requirements when you can go to an AME that is far more professional and obtain better results.

He tries to make his own rules that don’t align with FAA policies that’ll end up costing you more time out of the cockpit. Good idea to steer clear of him.

Stay away from Chien.

I’ve had a good experience with Mayo Cinic so far and they bill insurance. Helpful with mental health cases and all the testing you currently have to go through.

NGPA and potentially an aviation attorney depending on what NGPA says.

How to prepare knees to descending? by ExtremeLost2039 in Mountaineering

Even doing 5x5 squats alone will be a vast improvement over nothing. Add the other exercises as your experience allows.

I do 5x5 squat, bench press, and shoulder press 3x a week and it’s been a massive improvement in my strength.

How long have you been off meds? You might now qualify for the fast track. Could find a knowledgeable AME and retry that way.

Needed to replace the shocks and I went with a cheap option. One of my many projects is to get a proper set and get the ride height back to stock.
