Dr. Avery spent time with us explaining everything about my condition. He was not in a hurry to finish the appointment. I believe he cares about his patients and wants to make sure all questions are answered.

Dr Avery is kind and always caring about me. I have multiple health issues and he has done the work to understand my other diagnosis. A gentle hug shows how much he care for me as a patient.
Dr. Avery is Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). He and his wife, Marenda, have two children. As a family, they enjoy hiking, gardening, cooking, and biking.
“Being a rheumatology specialist provides the opportunity to develop long-term relationships with my patients. I believe that to be an effective physician, it is imperative to thoroughly educate patients on their diagnosis and treatment options, which empowers them to engage in critical decisions regarding their care. Rheumatology is a challenging field, and while the diagnosis or treatment is not always easily obtained, that is rapidly evolving. We are now living in exciting times, where the scientific research and development of new therapies have radically improved outcomes for rheumatology patients. These advancements have led to dramatic improvements in the ability to achieve remission of rheumatic diseases, significantly improving the quality of life for patients.”
