I've been with Dr Avi since 1998 and find that he does take time to listen to your concerns. He has helped me improve if I follow the instructions given. He is extremely thorough.

Dr. Avi is very considerate and thorough when understanding your needs. He has been my physician since 2018 and has helped me change habits that have greatly improved my health.

I have seen Dr. Avi for about 2 years now, and its hard to find a Doctor that doesn't make you feel beneth them sometimes, He is the total opposite, He makes sure he understand everything and answers all your questions.

He is always patient, and listens to your comments. Explains what he is doing in the exam and offers details if you ask. Great to have a physician that listens to the patient and seeks treatments to make each person enjoy the best health they can.

Dr. Avi was wonderful, professional and has provided fantastic care of me. He was patient, sympathetic and took the time to explain my health so that I could understand completely. I wouldn't trade him for anything!

I've had much better doctors. There's so many in this town I think the quality has suffered for the quantity of them. I much prefer springfield clinic over memorial but my insurance changed so I'm stuck here now.

Mean as a snake! Yelled from the time he walked in to the time he walked out. Very rude and condescending. This was my first visit and my last. He has a God complex a mile wide. If you like being a door mat, this guy is for you.
