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.

“Dr, Avila is an exceptional physician. Knowledgeble, talented, dynamic, passionate, pro-active, and caring. He is intellectually curious and an exceptional listener. He takes takes time to review with the patient the details of one's medical history during the on-site patient visit which was my first encounter with Dr. Avila. I felt completely comfortable as well as confident in his presence -- knowing how fortunate I am to have the right nephrologist in whom to rely for long term kidney health. I look forward to continuing to rely on Dr. Avila as a member of my healthcare team. Kudos to St. Luke's for having Dr. Avila on your heathcare team! (Name)”
