Zaunklay Finnila, MD

Dr. Zaunklay Finnila is the founder of Avalon Family Care in Madison. He studied biology at Utica College before heading to the University of Louisville for a master's degree in physiology and biophysics. It was during those graduate years, working both in the healthcare system and for a private research company, that his pull toward medicine took hold for good.

He went on to earn his medical degree at St. George's University School of Medicine, then moved with his wife to Huntsville, where he completed a family medicine residency at the UAB Huntsville Regional Medical Campus. He opened Avalon Family Care as the practice's primary doctor in September 2020.

Flying airplanes is a favorite way for him to unwind, along with getting outdoors, staying active, and spending time with his family.
