She is a good Dr. we were supposed to have an appointment with her probably 2 years ago for a meet your Dr. It was canceled by them twice, then we were told she had no more openings for a new patient! It wasn’t our fault they canceled! We still don’t have a Dr. They are trying to schedule us with a nurse practitioner.

She seemed very busy and was quite behind in coming into the room where I waited. I wasn't informed about why by a staff person. I was scheduled for a 6 months check up that happened to be a week after an atrial ablation procedure for AFib, so she wanted to follow up in 3 months. The MA had taken my vitals and updated my medication changes that the cardiologist deleted following the successful ablation, so this appointment could have been much more brief after she got in the room. Instead, she went through every condition and medication one by one and did a brief physical additionally.
-
Very thorough
-
She is an excellent physician who takes the time to listen to my health concerns, discuss my care options, and helpful with her knowledge of the Albuquerque health care system. She is kind yet firm…and has a good sense of humor.
