About us
Avinity Health is a physician-guided longevity, wellness, and medical aesthetics clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona — built around a Medical Director and a team of physician providers and consultants whose expertise directly aligns with the advanced services we offer. Clinical operations are led by a nurse executive with more than 15 years of experience in healthcare quality improvement, quality assurance, and post-acute care. This level of medical oversight and clinical structure is not typical of a traditional med spa — it is the standard at Avinity Health.
How We Got Here
Emily Dawson and the physicians behind Avinity Health spent decades in senior care and post-acute settings, managing the effects of aging after they had already become clinically significant.
The same conditions appeared repeatedly — metabolic decline, chronic inflammation, cognitive deterioration, hormonal disruption, progressive loss of strength and function. Conditions that develop over years, but are addressed only when they become urgent.
Therapeutic Plasma Exchange has a decades-long clinical record in hospital settings. As research expanded around its role in inflammation and aging-related biological processes, it introduced a different possibility: a clinically established procedure applied earlier, in a structured outpatient setting, before those patterns fully progress.
Patients have been traveling internationally to access versions of this care. Avinity Health was built to make it available in Scottsdale — within a physician-guided clinical model designed for earlier intervention.
This clinic did not begin with a service list. It began with a shift in clinical timing — from managing decline to addressing it before it accelerates.
What We Stand For
Services are not offered as standalone transactions. Care is structured around a clear plan built on your goals, your baseline, and what is clinically appropriate. Treatments are selected within that plan — not chosen in isolation.
Consultation is used to determine appropriateness, not to sell a service. If a treatment is not the right fit, that is established before anything is scheduled. Decisions are made based on clinical judgment — not on what we have available to offer.
No protocol is applied the same way to every patient. Volume, dosing, timing, and approach are determined by your profile and adjusted based on how you respond. This applies across Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, IV therapy, and aesthetic treatment.
Your baseline is documented, your response is tracked, and your plan is updated accordingly. The objective is sustained improvement — results that build rather than reset between visits.
Our Medical Team
Founder & Clinical Director
Clinical Operations · Longevity & Wellness · Patient Consultation
Emily Dawson has spent more than fifteen years building and overseeing clinical systems in post acute care. She co-founded Avinity Health because she spent over fifteen years watching what happens when the conditions that drive aging go unmanaged — and because she wanted to be part of addressing them earlier.
Medical Officer
Nephrology · Therapeutic Apheresis
A Mayo Clinic-trained nephrologist and board-certified internist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Thomas continues to lecture at Mayo Clinic and brings specialist-level oversight to Avinity's PlasmaRestore™ program that is rarely available outside a major academic medical center.

Board-certified internist with 25+ years of clinical experience, medical director across multiple Phoenix senior communities, and the physician behind Avinity's IV therapy and health optimization protocols.
Medical Consultant
Internal Medicine · Geriatrics
Board-certified internist and geriatrician with 35+ years of clinical experience, fellowship-trained at Barrow Neurological Institute, and the physician whose expertise in aging biology directly informs Avinity's aesthetic medicine protocols.
"After more than 15 years managing the effects of aging in healthcare, I decided I would rather help people proactively support longevity, wellness, and healthy aging."
Your first consultation is a conversation — no pressure, no protocol until we understand your full picture.
