Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

In my opinion Dr. Avva went way above and beyond to make my visits as informative and helpful to me as possible . She accomplished this while also making me feel very at ease while talking with her about my case. So happy that I have found Dr. Avva as my new internist. I am a newcomer to the state of Texas, and Dr. Avva has been one who has made my transition easier. Thank you!

Dr. Avva was better than I hopped for. It was a great experience. She's smart, quick with technology, confident, young (referencing "hipness"). She honestly seemed to care about me and not just my health but my satisfaction with her treatment. She is awesome and I feel very fortunate that the mystery wheel of doctor landed on her for me. She is the first one I've seen since the covid lockdown and I feel I couldn't be in better hands. Maybe equal but not better. She's a rock star. I've already said to myself, "I'm following her if she leaves there for somewhere else in the Dallas area."Please let her know she's a 10

Dr Avva was the best. Best customer service that I have experienced from a new dr in my 33 years. Very nice, very educated and extremely attentive to my issues, needs and queen without rushing me or feeling like a bother. She took her time to help me and ensure that she truly cared for my overall health / well being. I will indeed come back to see her as well as recommend her to my family / friends and coworkers at BSWH.
