Care Built Around Patients
The Avalon Difference
Care That Comes to the Patient
In addition to in-office visits, Avalon provides medical care directly in patients’ homes and within assisted living communities, making care more accessible for those who need it most.
Physician-Led Care
Avalon Physician Services is led by experienced physicians and supported by a highly trained clinical team focused on delivering thoughtful, patient-centered primary care.
Coordinated Healthcare
Our team works closely with specialists, hospitals, caregivers, and families to ensure patients receive seamless and well-coordinated care.
Focused on Long-Term Health
Avalon prioritizes prevention, chronic condition management, proactive care, and dementia support to help patients maintain independence and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.
Healthcare That Meets Patients Where They Are
Avalon Physician Services was built on a simple belief: healthcare should adapt to the needs of patients, not the other way around. Our team provides comprehensive primary care services across multiple care settings, including in-office visits, home-based medical care, and support within assisted living and senior communities.
By combining clinical expertise with personalized attention, Avalon helps patients maintain independence, improve health outcomes, and experience healthcare that feels thoughtful, coordinated, and compassionate.
Avalon was founded to improve access to care for patients who need more than the traditional healthcare model provides. We deliver personalized, coordinated care through in-office visits, in-home services, and close collaboration with facilities, specialists, and families. Our approach includes advanced dementia care, behavioral health, comprehensive care management, and palliative support, all designed to meet patients where they are and adapt as their needs evolve.
Our mission is to bring clarity, consistency, and compassion to complex care. By connecting every part of the patient journey and supporting both patients and their families, we help people live safer, more comfortable, and more dignified lives.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality medical care that prioritizes dignity, independence, and long-term well-being.

I saw Dr. Sarafa today for an initial visit, and I was very impressed with his knowledge and background. He has set up an excellent treatment plan for me, and he will be following up with me regularly until I am stable. I highly recommend Avalon Physician Services!
From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and well-cared for. The front office staff was efficient and friendly, and the nurses were attentive and professional.

Avalon has given me comfort because at my age and living alone health issues happen and help is only a phone call away. They've been so helpful/responsive from a nosebleed to heart attack. Big thanks to entire staff.
