PAIN MANAGEMENT
At AVALA, our Interventional Pain Physicians specialize in minimally invasive treatments that reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life. These procedures are primarily conducted on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home on the same day.
Patients undergo thorough evaluations and diagnostic imaging to provide our physicians with a comprehensive understanding of their pain-causing condition. From there, personalized treatment plans are developed for each individual.
RETINA SURGERY
AVALA Surgery Center provides advanced surgical services to include retina surgery, providing patients access to leading-edge eye care close to home. Our state-of-the-art surgical suites, innovative technology, and experienced specialists ensure patients receive the highest quality care for conditions affecting the retina, including macular degeneration, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and more.
AVALA’s commitment to precision, innovation, and compassionate care are seen in its retina surgery service line—enhancing vision care across the Gulf South.
GASTROENTEROLOGY
Detecting and diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) issues through preventative and diagnostic testing is crucial for maintaining overall health. AVALA is dedicated to providing top-tier facilities for patients requiring such tests. Our focus lies in conducting straightforward outpatient endoscopic procedures aimed at screening and diagnosing illnesses within the GI tract.
HAND SURGERY
At AVALA Hospital, our hand physicians have extensive training in all aspects of the hand, including nerves, tendons, bones, and blood vessels. This elite group of hand physicians also specialize in severe cuts or trauma caused from accidents that occur at home or work environments.
Our goal is to eliminate the pain and discomfort caused by injury or disease. Our hand surgeries are completed as outpatient procedures at AVALA, meaning patients return home the same day as their procedure.
