Can anyone recommend a Chicago area AME?

[WindyCityPilot]

I'm just about ready to begin my flight training and am beginning to look for an AME to get my medical. I was wondering if anyone from the Chicago area has any recommendations for good/bad AME's? I would much rather use an AME that someone from this board has used and recommends rather than just using the "list on a dart board" method.

Thanks! Andy

My husband and I used to go to Dr. Spears, in Elgin. He died in a motorcycle accident a couple years ago, he was a great guy. We go to the Dr. who took over his practice:

Dr. Gregory Ostrom
847/741-0372

His office is in Elgin, easily accessable off the Kennedy at the exit to 31S.

Thanks for the info!! It's always nice to go to a doctor someone recommends! I've only been in the Chicago area for about 3 years and I remember when I first got here trying to find a doctor and a dentist I liked. What a pain! I finally got to know some people through work and ended up with doctors recommended by them.

Anyways thanks again for the info! It is appreciated.

Where in Elgin is he? I live in Elgin and haven't heard of him. Guess I need to get out of the bubble

He operates the business that was built up by Dr. Speers. He was killed in a motercycle accident in Arizona a few years ago, and Dr. Ostrom took over his practice.

I went to Dr. Colleen Hagen in La Grange.

Anyone here fly out of 1C5 (Clow)
