I can honestly say that the care provided by Dr. Avery has far surpassed any provider I have seen across all specialties. It was apparent he took the time to look into my past records, which I could tell by the specificity of the questions he asked. I left my visit almost in tears of happiness. For the first time in years, I felt like I had found a provider who genuinely listened. I feel confident that after years of chronic symptoms, I finally found the right Rheumatologist to find the "why" behind them. Thank you!!!

“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.”
