His vision was to provide empowerment through information and effective treatment to those most in need and to eliminate ignorance as well as suffering in its many forms.

As an avid scholar, he was passionate about optimizing health and disseminating truth in a world full of misinformation. Dr. Curt was a maverick in his field, a passionate educator, a brilliant physician, a loving father, and a committed mentor who loved his family and patients second only to his love for truth, knowledge, and dispelling ignorance. ​

"Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Avelin are an amazing team together. I cannot say I have gotten better care from a doctor in a very long time. They offer an elegant combination of knowledge and compassion. "

MK.

Dr. Avelin is nothing short of a miracle worker! I played football my entire life, and my body took a pounding. my back, shoulders, and neck in particular have been in daily pain for 10+ years, and after trying many different healing modalities with no relief, it’s just something i’ve learned to deal with. imagine my surprise when I received one cupping session from Dr. Avelin, and my pain was 100% gone! i almost cried because I never thought i’d experience what it was like to be pain-free again. to me, it was nothing short of a miracle. I can’t recommend Dr. Avelin highly enough. she’s an awesome person, has a calm and comforting bedside manner, and is an incredible doctor. go see her!

DS.

Very pleasant experience.

RS.

My visits w/ Dr. Aalia are incredible! Her caring demeanor, attention to detail & the time she takes to really listen is unparalleled. I have never received this type of care from a health care provider before. She has helped me manage my anxiety, balance my hormones, help w/ gut issues & be a sounding board for any symptoms I might be having. I regularly see her for acupuncture & find that after a session with her, I am realigned and grounded. I can't recommend her enough.
