Staff refused my visit saying they have no obligation to see me only because I did not want them to scan my Driver License into their system due to possibility of identity theft. I offered to let them review it on every visit but that was insufficient for them. Staff is very unprofessional and even gave a wrong name for the paperwork they mailed to bring.

Dr. Averill is a very highly skilled and top notch doctor. Both my husband and I think he is the best in his field. You must be patient when it comes to wait times for your appointments. Remember some people's appointments take more time than others so know ahead of time that you may have longer than usual wait time. He doesn't rush your appointments and gives you quality care. I'd rather wait for a skilled doctor than be seen immediately by a substandard doctor. Worth the wait time. Also, the staff is also very friendly and helpful. Love them all.

Dr. Averill is the most caring DR. He knows just how to diagnose and prescribe help. Very thorough. Dr. Patel was also wonderful to work with. His staff, everyone, are all great.

I'd like to thank Dr Averill and his Fellow Dr for diagnosing me quickly, sending me to the emergency room and probably saving my life. I am in my 70s and have had serious asthma since I was 4 years old. I thought my lung issues were based on asthma when it was heart failure rather than pollen that was causing most of my breathing issues. Bless you and thank you!

Regina Pruitt is an exceptional PA (Physician Asst). She is extremely competent, professional and has great “bedside manner.” She was instrumental in getting me to“ look at other options.” I was recovering from a recent heart attack and had a serious case of insomnia. My sole intent was to seek more medication by getting her to prescribe a sleeping pill to “knock me out.” After thoroughly reviewing my situation, including my medical history, recent hospitalization and the list of current medications, Regina wisely advised to not to take additional medication. She patiently explained to me that prescribing such a “sleeping pill” would not be a good solution. She sincerely feared that the interaction of the numerous drugs would lead to a serious problem. She recommended that I use a CPAP machine with a specific face mask to help me to sleep. While I was initially disappointed with her recommendation (because I expected a “quick and easy solution), I’ve come to realize that Regina’s recommendation was much more practical and logical. It is not too often that I am very impressed with a medical professional. However, I would enthusiastically recommend Regina Pruitt if you are seeking a very knowledgable and caring Medical Professional. I found that the entire staff was a pleasure to deal with.
