Dr. Tom “DOC” Faulkner, MD, MHA
“Doc” has specialized in Flight Medicine for over 30 years, initially serving as a US Navy Flight Surgeon. “Doc” became know as someone who was first and foremost wanting you to take care of your health and not aggressive with the Down Chit.
“Doc” moved from North Carolina where he attended both UNC and Duke post graduate schools to head up Emory’s Flight Medicine program. He earned a reputation with the Delta Air Lines Pilots and was hired onboard with Delta as their internal flight doctor.
In the 2005, “Doc” created a Flight Medicine consulting business and quickly was signed by companies like Delta, FedEx, United as well as places like Express Jet, Cape Air, and Atlas among others.
A lifelong learner, “Doc” has been board certified in Family Medicine, Aviation Medicine Preventive Medicine, Addiction Medicine as well as added qualifications in Sport Medicine.
When not working with his Pilots, “Doc” can be found hanging with his dogs, triplets or wife…not necessarily in that order. He is an avid ‘que guy and always looking for new places to take his wife (and or dogs).
