Karina Avechuco, FNP

A trusting relationship is the foundation of my practice.

I strongly believe every patient encounter is an opportunity to build a partnership where I provide up-to-date, individualized, compassionate care and simultaneously empower patients to actively participate in their own health care. In short, I strive to treat each patient the way I would want my family member treated.

When you need to see a general surgeon, we know what goes through your head. But what we want you to feel is a sense of calm and reassurance that you’re receiving the highest quality care possible – from the moment you sign in to your first steps to recovery. Whether it’s a second opinion or a life-saving procedure, the specialists at the General Surgery Center offer seamless collaboration between doctors and whole-scale expertise when it comes to surgical care in the greater Phoenix and Arizona areas. And because we're located on campus at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, our providers have access to some of the newest medical technologies and most advanced treatment techniques available.
