I love the personal service that Dr. Dykema provides. The previous AME office I used felt tike
a "mill" and charged way too much. I appreciate a friend referring me to her, another former
patient of the aforementioned "mill".

The Pilot Center's FAA medical exam is the most straight forward, no nonsense exam around. If there:'s an issue, they will get you through it the natural way. I wouldn't trust anyone else like I do the Pilot Center.

The name recently changed, but the staff is the same and they do a great job. Dr Dykema has been doing my first class medicals for years and, unless I move, I'll continue to come to The Pilot Center.

Dr Dykemia and her staff always go above and beyond to get your flight physical done. I originally had a 12:45 appt and needed to be seen over three hours earlier and they were able to accommodate me very quickly. They are always so nice and efficient. I’ve been going to Dr Dykemia for several years and won’t go anywhere else.

While preparing documents for my PPL check ride (the day before, in fact), I realized I had been carrying the wrong page as my medical certificate (which was 1,000 mites away in Washington). I was able to schedule a same day appointment with Dr. Dykema to get a new, signed certificate. She has a very clean, fresh office near the highway, the exam went smoothly, and she has a lovely personality. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Dr. Dykema!

Dr Dykema and Laura made my most recent flight physical a smooth and efficient piece of cake! As a former USAF flight surgeon and FAA AME myself, and a private pilot medical certificate holder for over 35 years now, I can testify to the meticulous attention to detail and common sense perspective of Dr Dykema. I traveled from another state, as my ATP pilot son highly recommended Dr Deborah. I'll be back!

Dr. Dykema is just the best. She is timely, thoughtful and she asks great questions. She asks if I have any questions or concerns, so she's not running an "assembly line" of physicals, and I appreciate that. Dr. Dykema is also a pilot, so she understands the situation. Her office staff is also very friendly and attentive.

Always a great experience at The Wellness Center. I go once a year for my flight medical. This year I suddenly realized that I'd be away for work when my medical expired. Rang at 10.18am, and got an appointment for 11.20am.
