Dr Avila is an excellent doctor. She is very caring, kind, thorough, efficient and takes the time to know you. I feel blessed having her as my doctor. I also really like her nurse as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Avula for 15 years. She is personable, considerate, and caring. And of course, highly competent.

I have seen Dr. Avula for years and highly recommend her. I have sent my daughter, sister and best friends to her and they all feel the same.

After being a patient of Dr. Avula's for many years, I was greatly disappointed when I went to schedule my annual exam with her at her new place. The receptionist was very rude. When i told her i pay up front cash because i dont have the health insurance she carries, I was told the visit would cost over double what I have paid in the past. I still agreed to the appointment, was put on hold, then told she would no longer accept me as a patient. Apparently my money is no longer good for Dr. Avula. I have informed my family members who I recommended Avula to and they will pull out of her office as well. Loyalty is not top priority for her which is a terrible shame. As for the rude receptionist, you provide a service to the sick people who call you. Your rudeness needs to be under control or find a job where you don't have to communicate with the public. Major training needs to be done on how to empathize with people who call.

I am sorry to hear that she is leaving. I would like to know where she is going and if my insurance would cover me with her new location.
