As always, Dr Avery was a plethora of information. Very thorough dissecting my lab results, followed with his reasoning for my med changes. I am grateful to have a compassionate practitioner treating my Sjögren’s Disease and RA. During every visit I learn new physiological connections between the conditions I have. Example, how my Hypothyroidism, RA, Sjögren’s Disease and PMR symptoms mimic on another. Labs tell your story, treating the symptoms based on lab results is something Dr Avery does very well. He always discusses with me why he wants a specific test and treatment. He also, celebrates my disease victories. He has seen me at my worst and best.Tearful and feeling desperate … as well as great and feeling hopeful. Do I recommend him, YES!

Dr. Avery's attributes are too many to list. The short version is he's kind,caring and knowledgeable. My primary physician concidered him brilliant in the aftercare plan he implemented from a hospital stay.
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.”
