Family Medicine provides comprehensive healthcare for patients of all ages, including preventive care, chronic disease management, and acute illness treatment. Our board-certified physicians offer personalized care plans tailored to individual and family health needs. Services include annual exams, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing, ensuring holistic health management in a patient-first environment.
Medical Weight Loss
Medical Weight Loss programs combine board-certified expertise with customized diet plans and FDA-approved medications. Our approach addresses underlying health issues contributing to obesity, offering hormone testing, body composition analysis, and ongoing support. Patients receive supervised plans like the Good-Life Bariatric Program, ensuring sustainable weight loss and improved metabolic health through evidence-based methods.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy treats allergies, asthma, and eczema by addressing root causes rather than symptoms. Sublingual allergy drops and advanced testing identify triggers, enabling personalized treatment plans. Our in-house lab and dedicated allergy rooms provide efficient diagnostics and therapies, helping patients achieve long-term relief from respiratory and skin-related allergic conditions.
Hormone Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women and Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for men restore hormonal balance to improve energy, mood, and physical health. Using bioidentical hormones, we address age-related decline, menopause, andropause, and metabolic issues. Comprehensive testing and personalized protocols ensure safe, effective treatment with ongoing monitoring for optimal results.
In-House Lab
Our CLIA-certified in-house lab offers over 10,000 tests, including blood work, cancer screenings, and hormone panels. Rapid results within 24-72 hours enable timely diagnosis and treatment adjustments. Services include phlebotomy, spirometry, and body composition scans, reducing the need for external referrals and streamlining patient care under one roof.

When I made the decision to come to Avista I felt ready. My weight had risen to a point where I was unsure if I could ever get back to my goal weight. I was hoping for help and I got it. The process at Avista for losing weight is easy to follow but you have to do your part. Its not magic but rather science. It is achievable.

The office manager was down right rude but agreed to have a PA

Diabetes and Heart Disease run in my family. I also wanted an allergy test completed for my reference. The labs were run and Dr. Raman said they came back good. Now, in 2021, I logged into my portal via their website to see that, no, they are not good. I have a severe yeast allergy (which could be some of the concerns of my GI problems), as well as a high A1C and glucose levels. Neither of these were every communicated to me. A few
