Patient Reviews
Jan 01, 2022
It is weird to say that you have a family Surgeon, but Dr. Avenel is our go to. He has always taken time to talk with us, listen to us, laugh and console us. He even took the time out of a busy day of surgery to come into my husband's room, when we were not even technically his patient yet. He explained my husband's symptoms and gave his opinion on what he would like to see happen. Three weeks after that health crisis, we just saw him to have the surgery that had to be put on hold. After he finished in the OR he came in to tell me how the procedure went. Of course he was concerned for my husband's recovery but he was also, jokingly, concerned about how I was going to fair the week of post-op discomfort. I have not had thoughts of hurting him...but the week is young! Best of the best.
