COVINGTON, LOUISIANA – AVALA is pleased to announce that Pinnacle Medical Network and their team of orthopedic surgeons have joined the AVALA Physician Network.

Dr. Paul van Deventer, Dr. Roderick Chandler, and Dr. Jason Rudd join to build the foundation for AVALA Ortho, AVALA’s newest campus location specializing in integrated orthopedics. This team of physicians utilize AVALA’s state-of-the-art Stryker Mako robotics and technology for joint replacement surgery.
