Great

My only complaint is that I was only able to see Dr Avena on my first initial visit. I was expecting to see him for my post-op. Other than that, it has been a great experience so far.

listened attentively to my problems

took the time to listen and go over certain possibilities of the problems that could be causing the issues. Went over different scenerios and things we can try before we could consider surgery or other evasive procedures.

excellent

I had other health care professionals tell me that there was no foreign body in my finger, but it wouldn't get better. As soon as I saw Dr. Avena, he immediately recognized what the problem was, removed the foreign body and stitched me up. I was on a trip when I needed to get the sutures removed and I went to an urgent care facility in a large hospital in Minneapolis. The doctor who did that saw how neat the suture were, called in some interns, showed them my finger and said "This is how sutures should look!"

Very comfortable and easygoing from the start

I was treated very respectfully. I only wish I was told that I would not see Dr Avena any longer, just his staff
