Here is a word of advice about FAA physicals. Most pilots have two doctors, one the go to when they have a hang-nail, the other is where they get their physicals. Now it takes a little home work, but you want to make sure that these two doctors don't know each other, and preferably live it two different towns.
The doctor I go to for my FAA physicals now has really strict criteria; if you can make it through the door, you pass. The only medical part is the peeing in a bottle and the eye tests the nurses give you, but that's a cake walk compared to most physicals that my regular doctor gives.
Here is what you do, go to your local airport and ask around about where most people get their flight physicals, you'll quickly find out who the "best" and the "worst" are.
Good luck next time.

A classic 1959 Cessna 182. Â In fact, its only 6 serial numbers from a 1960 model. Â New interior last year, possibly paint in the near future. Â That is original 1959 paint, and the aluminum inside is still shiny - no corrosion. Â Here is a pic:

We dumped the frumpy nose wheel pant, so the bird looks a little better now.
I usually don't pay more than about $70 to $75 for my physical, I have heard of people spending upward of several hundred dollars, it pays to ask around and do some research
