about me

Jeff Whitacre

Dr. Whitacre is an emergency medicine physician and aviation medical examiner with a deep commitment to both the medical and aviation fields. As a private pilot currently working toward my instrument rating, I combine my love for flight with my professional expertise to support the health and well-being of fellow aviators. Having personally navigated the process of a special issuance medical certificate, I recognize the frustration and anxiety that medical certification places on pilots.

Beyond my career, I'm a husband and a father to three amazing children. Balancing family life, medicine, and aviation is both a challenge and a joy, and it drives me to bring my best to every area of my life.
