Charleston Flight Doc

I have been going to Dr. Sommese since I started flying in 2019. She is truly a professional, and I would recommend to anyone in need of a Medical. The exam is always a pleasant experience, with nice facilities and flexible hours for scheduling as well. Thank you!

January 2026 was my third year in a row with Charleston Flight Doc. Again, consistent excellence in service over and beyond with another successful outcome for a challenging Third-Class Special Issuance renewal due to medical circumstances with a successful outcome! THANKS! 2025 - Charleston Flight Doc was an exceptionally great experience! I had a medical issue for my FAA Medical Renewal. Dr Terry went over and above and used her credibility and contacts to get a successful outcome for me. The facilities are very clean and professional and an exceptional value. I highly recommend! Rare to find excellence in people and services these days. Thank you!!!

Dr Sommese has been my flight surgeon for many years. There is no finer flight surgeon in the Charleston area. She is always available for advise and council on health matters. She holds very flexible hours and always able to fit me in. I thank her for taking good care of me.

***Professional, Polite and Super Down-to-Earth*** My experience with Dr. Sommese was by far one of the most pleasant encounters I’ve had with any health professional. She was very flexible with her time and went the extra length to make me comfortable and relay the process with ease. I was far from stressed during my appointment. I would absolutely recommend anyone who needs their Class 1, 2 or 3 AME to visit her because she is truly a delight!

If you need the services of an AME, I highly recommend Dr Sommese!! She is professional, efficient, and highly respected by the FAA. Her experience is extensive, including 21 years in the United States Air Force as a Flight Surgeon (thank you for your service). She is also a pilot and will advocate for you with the FAA. Nothing but great things to say about Dr Sommese.
