    Always been a positive experience. From front desk, x-rays, to members of Dr. Avallone's team and time with Dr. Avallone the experience has been positive. One is made to feel comfortable and thus better able to to give a clearer picture to everyone what I am there for. One feels free to ask questions and does not feel rushed. I always leave office feeling better.

    Doctor avalone was amazing. He I listened to everything I had to say, and act, I'm very concerned. Listen to my concerns and diagnose me with something that I've always knew that no other doctor could have within 5 minutes of The Visit. And yeah, referred me to another doctor and told me if I needed any help that he would help me get a sooner appointment. It was a fantastic visit.
