About Me

I am a board-certified specialist in Nephrology who joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2012. My practice is dedicated to the treatment of kidney disease, hypertension and electrolyte disorders. As a group, we treat a wide variety of disorders that affect the kidney. Ultimately, our focus is on the preservation of kidney function. We also treat patients with healthy kidneys but have other conditions like high blood pressure, abnormal electrolyte values and fluid overload. Although we treat a wide array of disorders, my greatest interest lies in mechanisms of electrolyte disorders.

I did my residency and fellowship training in New Jersey and moved to the Lehigh Valley area after I completed my fellowship training in 2012. During my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing sports and spending time with my family. I find great satisfaction in helping people get and stay healthy.

This was my first visit to Dr. Avila after being referred to by Dr. Brar. I have to say that this was the best doctor I have ever had seen. He took his time with me and explained everything fully. I have a high level of confidence that this doctor knows what he is doing and that he will finally get my high blood pressure under control.
