“The most important thing for me is maintaining my first-class medical. Second is having an AME that realizes my number-one goal and works with me to achieve this. Dr. Cummings knows the pilot’s work load, stress, and needs. He also understands how to best keep me flying, or when having medical problems, get me quickly and safely back into the cockpit. Basically, he works with me, not against me.”

“Over the past 20 years Dr. Cummings has maintained an unswerving commitment to keeping me flying. Dr. ‘C’ and Janet are like family members to me. For two decades I have enjoyed hearing of their travels, following the growth of their family, and now seeing photos of their beloved grandchildren.”
“As an experienced multiengine pilot, Dr. ‘C’ truly speaks the language of aviation. He is in the top 5 of ‘People I Trust The Most.’ I travel 400 miles to see Dr. ‘C’ twice per year and will continue to do so until one of us retires!”
