Dr. Avalos was the doc who saw me at Scripps La Jolla ER. I was having chest pains, I thought was a heart attack. Dr. Avalos came to see me, spent a very long time interviewing me, and I had some tests. Turns out I was not having a heart attack, but I do have 'Angina'. I follow him in his office and he is so amazing. Very knowledgable about everything and I have refered many of my partners and brothers. Dr. Avalos is from smoggy LA, but so grateful he is now in beautiful San Diego!

I have a family history of heart attacks. My grand-father and father both died in their 40's. I have 2 young children and want to live to see my grandchildren! My brother was recommended to Dr. Avalos from one of his staff. My brother growing up has always had a phobia of doctors. He calls me on his cell phone as he is leaving Dr. Avalos' office after meeting him for the first time. My brother told me he was a great, young physician that he immediately felt comfortable with. I met Dr. Avalos two weeks later and guess what? I have a new cardiologist that I plan to follow for the rest of my long life! It was explained to me what happens in the heart and body with a family history like mine. Dr. Avalos taught me a lot and what the different tests are for, example: echos, stress tests, etc. He was very understanding and has an amazing mastery for medicine! I feel very confident for the first time in my 39 years of life. I prey to God everyday thanking him for his creation of Dr. Avalos!
