Hello friends!
Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to "Dr Lou" Louis B. Fowler!
Drove to him all the way from Texas to Florida two years ago with a case of personality disorder misdiagnosis and supporting paperwork including two re-evaluations because I heard he was the man and he took care of me and answered all my questions and issued a unrestricted third class on the spot with no other inquiry by the FAA.
Well today - 2 years later - I went back and he issued my first class on the spot and yet again took his time answering all my questions. Thank you Dr. Lou for everything - you and your staff have been amazing and I am not just saying that because of my positive outcome - I mean it.
I recommend everybody who has tricky situations such as cases believed to be misdiagnosis / overdiagnosis to reach out to him and let him help you get your ducks in row - or Dr Chien!
Little back story:
During military re-enlistment I took a ~700 question psychological multiple choice questionnaire, and the results said "answers suggest personality disorder". Important to mention is that I BLEW through that test, not giving it much thought thinking it's something they don't even look at. Surprise surprise they did and I initially got medically denied joining the military, which now has to be disclosed on medical certificate applications.
Had to get re-evaluated twice by civilian board-licensed psychologists to try and get a waiver for enlistment. Took all my paperwork to Dr. Lou and he properly submitted my documentation to the FAA!
FAA never reached out to me in the past 2 years for my third class and we don't expect them to say anything this time either since nothing has changed.
Again - thank you Dr. Lou for all you do!
