"I feel like Dr. Avara is truly confident in his practice and his believe in obesity being a disease. His offics staff is nice and supportive and knowledgeable. Having this said, after surgery at the hospital he didnt really spend but probably 2 seconds in the room at each visit (2) which was kinda disappointing. He didnt listen to my belly, look at it or anything. I have yet to get a 'check-up' call after coming home which I thought they mentioned that they would do. I also felt very rushed at my pre-registration on the Friday before at his office. I could hear them talking about running behind (I do understand that but...) and I was given soo much information in such a hurry that there was no way to process all of it right then. I still have appt cards, medicines that I start in 30 days, etc. that I have to get posted on the calender at work or I will surely forget. However when we drove back down there on Thursday for him to look at the hematoma--he was much more relaxed, alot nicer, felt more approachable etc. Lisa (office staff) always returns e-mails and I have gotten a returned call when I made a one time call to his office.Over all, I feel fortuanate to have found Dr. Avara and his staff.rn"
