Jon Avula, MD
Hanover Family Physicians
Dr. Avula graduated from the University of Virginia prior to attending medical school at VCU School of Medicine. He stayed in Richmond for residency at Chesterfield Family Practice and went on to practice primary care for nearly 10 years.
During this time, he continued teaching medical student as an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at VCU. After seeing many patients suffer from often preventable diseases, he pursued board certification in the growing specialty of Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Avula’s approach now relies less on solely prescribing medications and more on preventing, treating, and reversing chronic diseases using a combination of changes to diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoiding risky substances plus using medications where necessary. He is grateful to get to work alongside of patients in their journey towards health.
Dr. Avula joined Hanover Family Physicians in October 2024.
