Mar 03, 2024
I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Dr Avey’s office. People that complain about staff do not understand what it us like dealing with the general public , especially low iq types. She is very helpful and good at her job. Nit everyone is a fluffy do-gooder. Dr’s and staff are effective and get it done.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • Dr. Avey believes in caring for each patient as an individual, not in cookie-cutter treatments.  He is thorough, yet friendly and caring.  Dr. Avey prescribes medication when needed but also uses common sense over-the-counter treatments, physical medicine treatments, and herbal or vitamin therapy when appropriate.  He always pays attention to the high cost of many of today's medicines and helps his patients get treatments they can afford.  His staff is also very helpful and courteous.  They too care about each one of our patients.
