Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Avila is an extremely compassionate and deep thinking physician. He listens to his patients and determines underlying root causes of their issues. He doesn’t just treat symptoms. He listens and studies his patient and figures out their specific issues. He is also solution minded and recommends treatments that he knows will benefit his patients. Dr. Avila treats his patients like family.
