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.

I respect his opinions and willingly go along with his decisions and judgments. I trust him to keep my best interest at heart, and that is more than I can say for most doctors today. I've only ever met two other doctors, in different states, that show as much kindness and consideration for their patients. I would recommend him to anyone!

Some of his office workers are rude very disrespectful and think they can talk to people any kind of way and no need trying to talk with the administrator she's even worst. He needs to clean his office workers attitude and not go alone with their bad behavior and blame the patients for their wrong doing. Patients are making these doctors rich and getting very poor service we shouldn't pay them to be treated any kind of way! They want respect but don't give respect..

Dr AVULA is a wonderful, caring Doctor and a very special person. He was my mother's Dr during a very serious illness. i have nothing but praise for the care he gave her. His compassion was such a blessing to our family. At 4:00 on the morning of her death, my sister and i were sitting by her bedside, the door to her room opened quietly and in walked Dr Avula dressed in jeans. I asked him what he was doing there so early, he smiled and said, " I just couldnt sleep!"

Dr. Avula has been our Primary Physician since I moved here 2009. He & his entire staff are excellent. Very caring & pays attention to lab results/details. My husband switched over to Dr. Avula, in 2010 & receives excellent care as a diabetic. Dr. Avula always keeps him up to date on all of his tests results. Thank you everyone there for caring for us.

I am a 23 U.S. Army Veteran, and I have received EXCELLENT patient care by Dr. Avula, and his staff... My Mother recently passed away with Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Avula was her Primary care Physician for the last year and 1/2. She was treated delicately, along with his concern for my husband and I. Very Compassionate. Although I have care through the VA, it doesn't compare to the service, and great urgent care we receive through this Physician.
