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.

Cebu Institute of Medicine, 2003

Dr Avila spent a lot of time with me. He detailed a plan to get my condition controlled and treated. He personally called me with blood test results. This visit was my second time seeing a St Luke's doctor, and the experience I had was superior to anything I have gotten with another network. I will be transitioning all of my care to St Luke's.
