The 10 highest ranked AME offices in Georgia, picked from 12 offices we reviewed across 4 metro areas.
This page lists aviation medical examiners (AMEs) in Georgia for 2026. We rank them by a mix of Google ratings, review counts, and whether the practice focuses on aviation. The list is a starting point, not an official FAA ranking. Only an FAA-designated AME can issue an FAA medical certificate.
Pilots in Georgia can use the city pages for Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, and Macon to find an AME closer to home. Each city page covers local clinics and what to expect. Before you book, confirm the AME is current with the FAA Designee Locator. Then fill out FAA Form 8500-8 in MedXPress and bring the confirmation number to your exam.

Use the FAA Designee Locator to search by city or ZIP code. This page and our city pages can help you compare local options, but the FAA locator is the official source. Call the office to confirm the AME is taking new exams and ask about the current fee, since AMEs set their own prices.
Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress before your visit and bring the confirmation number. The MedXPress application stays valid for 60 days. Bring glasses or contacts if you use them, a list of medicines, and any relevant medical records. Answer all questions truthfully. A false answer is a federal offense.
The AME can deny or defer your case. A deferral sends your file to the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City or a Regional Flight Surgeon. Reviews can take weeks or months. Some conditions can be handled on the spot with a Conditions AMEs Can Issue worksheet or through AME Assisted Special Issuance.
BasicMed lets some private pilots fly without a current medical certificate. You must have held a valid FAA medical certificate after July 14, 2006, take an approved online course every 24 months, and get an exam from any state-licensed physician every 48 months. Flights must stay below 18,000 feet MSL, at 250 knots or less, and not for compensation or hire. Check the current FAA BasicMed page for aircraft and passenger limits.
