Very intelligent, seems to be compassionate. Seems to be knowledgeable on my medical conditions. Feels he is focused on things other than my concerns. I am 65 years old. Living with hypothyroidism since I was 18. Tried to explain how I felt with normal blood levels or abnormal levels. NO DIFFERENT. Tired of doctors focusing solely on thyroid. CRPS is real pain. Severe, torturous pain. If other
than thyroid what else is going on?

He is always a great listener! You never feel like he’s not a caring doctor. Dr. Avery also leaves no stone unturned, he does tests that need to be done to get to the bottom of things to make sure you’re well taken care of.

I appreciate that Dr. Avery is trying to do what’s best for me.
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.”
