    He's a caring Dr and I he knows how to put you at ease. Not an alarmist, puts me at ease when I visit,, I don't feel like I'm just another patient visiting. This is a very personal business, basically having a stranger touching you, especially if they are not personable. Dr. Avella is a wonderful Dr that I feel comfortable with.

    I think he's a good doctor, but he's a bit brusque during the conversation. He doesn't seem personally invested, which can be hard if you want to have a longterm, trusting relationship with your GP.
