Nothing but THE BEST! My son had a compound fracture and instead of waiting for other staff to wheel his bed to surgery, Dr. Avella released the bed and took him himself. He was very open and honest about what could happen and what he was going to try and do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

He left hardware in my ankle after surgery and only acknowledged (and REALIZED) this mistake years after surgery when I came to him with chronic pain. He laughed about it.

This dr Avella is a hack. Run away fast !!! He literally disfigured my daughters leg some years ago after 2 procedures when she was @ 8 and 10. Stupid us, we believed him after the first one didn’t work . He should be put out to pasture !!! Friggin disgraceful ! Please Go to Columbia in NYC for real treatment. This man sickens me and my entire family. What he said was : Sometimes things don’t Work out the way you intend !

My daughter fractured her wrist and i took her to the urgent pediatric care for xrays, brace and saw the pediatrician, she said to follow up with a pediatric orthopedic so i made an appointment with Dr Avella.

Waited a long time to see Dr Avella. My son needed shoulder surgery. Since he was 17 and leaving for college Dr Avella suggested we go see an adult orthopedist. We were upset and disappointed but left after our 5 minute visit with him. Literally. When I then got a bill for over 200 .00 for nothing I couldn't believe it. I called the billing department and got to speak to his wife who threatened to call collections if I didnt pay. I told her to do what she needed to do. She proceeded to charge my credit card for the amount in... read more

Dr. Avella was very thorough and informative, however the front desk was a different story. The lady I dealt with was ubrupt and somewhat rude in a helpful sort of way. Then I sat back and noticed the proud, arrogant parents they had to deal with and understood why they were so cold towards me. One impatient father kept walking around me attempting to get noticed while I was handing her my insurance information. Like dude, can you wait like I did? He was seen then calmly walked out. No rush.

My daughter fractured her femur at a soccer game.at 7:30pm Went to valley hospital and found Dr Avella. Absolute gentleman! Explained what was going to happen. Set myself and wife at ease including my daughter (the patient). Set it in place and came back to preform surgery at 3:30 am. Thanks doc. Going for follow up tomorrow. Can't wait to thank him again. ????

He is absolutely fabulous. He is experienced, knowledgeable and truthfully, the most trustworthy doctor I have come across. He also is great with kids and you can tell he loves what he does. Truly a “calling” for him. Highly recommend.
