    Dr Thomas Avella is an exceptional doctor. The way he treats his patients with so much compassion is incredible. He's a wonderful person.

    He just walked in, didn't introduce himself or offer to shake my hand or call me by name. He seemed nice but I would describe the visit as cursory. Even more reason why I was disappointed to see I was charged for an additional 10-minute chat which I assumed was part of the annual exam, as has been the case with every other annual exam I've had outside of Crystal Run.

    he listens and provides information on what I should be doing about my health. He updates my chart immediately and provides feedback.
