Dr. Sarafa and his team have been coming to our senior community to service the residents for some time now and we cannot recommend them enough. They are very approachable and extremely knowledgeable. The only regret is that we didn't invite them in sooner!

Impeccably run, incredibly kind, with a spa like tranquility. This office operates with the precision of a Swiss watch and the warmth of a hug. Highly recommend.

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.

If I could give more than 5 ⭐️ I would. I was searching for help with ostomy care/guidance for my elderly mother who recently had surgery and unexpectedly ended up with a colostomy. Karen Genter who heads their ostomy services has been a god send helping guide us with the right supplies and care instructions for my mom. Everyone I have interacted with at Avalon has been kind, helpful, and caring and for that, I am grateful.

Bre’Ana Strong and her team are amazing! They truly care about their patients and make them feel comfortable, cared for, and respected. I was without a PCP for a while and I’m so glad I found this team! I highly recommend them!

Finding a new PCP as an adult can be daunting. I chose NP Karen Genter based off of her reviews online and I wholeheartedly agree. I am a few months postpartum and also recovering from major orthopedic trauma, so I was looking for a provider with the ability and knowledge to treat the whole picture. Karen and the entire staff at Avalon are kind, compassionate, and professional. I was able to schedule an appointment within a week of my first call. The environment is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend!
