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.

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?

Dr. Avery is wonderful! Very patient, thorough, and easy to understand and talk to.
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.”
