I want to balance out the other review with a different perspective…read more While it's true that Dr. Bair's practice is VERY busy and he doesn't have a lot of time to chat, I found that the staff and Dr. Bair were polite, pleasant to interact with, and very professional given how constantly busy the practice is. He's a surgeon, and surgeons, as a rule, are much better at interacting with unconscious people than conscious ones. The unfortunate reality of medical care nowadays is that in a lot of ways you're on your own, which sucks, but it's the way it is. You must be in charge of your own care and do your own homework. Yes, I would love to have a 20 minute discussion of the nuances of my knee arthroscopy with Dr. Bair, but the fact that I can't isn't really his fault. I would recommend Dr. Bair and St. Vincent's, especially if you live in Taos and Holy Sh*t is your only other option.

He isn't "knife happy" to recommend me to another Dr. who performs replacements, due to my age. He has the BEST bedside manner and loves to kid around with some of his patients. He did a great job on my scope surgery 8 months ago. I've had little to no pain in that knee, with the help of injections after the surgery. I would recommend (and have done so) Dr. Bair to any of my friends and others who are in need of an Orthopedic Dr.

I am surprised that New Mexico Orthopaedics has a solid 2-star average rating…read more I've seen a few of their doctors over the past several years and have had great experiences. A few years ago, I saw Dr. John Kiburz for a meniscus tear in my right knee, and he was kind and helped a lot. I felt confident in his abilities. Today, I had an appointment with Dr. Matthew Patton for a thumb injury. Not only was he very knowledgeable about my particular hand injury, but he was also personable and treated me as an equal. Those are essential qualities for a doctor to have. Before seeing Dr. Patton for my thumb, I initially saw Kira McLemore, PA-C. She was compassionate and recommended I see one of the orthopedic surgeons here. Sure, the wait after check-in was long each time, but this is positive. These doctors are in high demand, and the ones I've seen didn't rush through my time with them. I highly recommend going here for any ortho injuries.

Then leave 2 messages for callback since no human seems to exist and still get no callback? If this is an example of the quality of care, then close up your shop. It's useless!

Ten days ago I made an appointment to see Dr. Weiner on Tuesday. On the Friday before the…read moreappointment, I received two phone messages from the office. The first one said that Dr. Weiner had cancelled the appointment because he was not seeing new patients at this time. You think maybe they could have told me that when I first called? The second one, ironically, was to confirm my appointment and to tell me that because I was a new patient I had to arrive 30 minutes early. The doctor may be just fine, but his front desk is abominable. Save yourself the aggravation and find a different practice!

He did not, not he attentively listen to my concerns of what it is doing now, what it "needed" to do and my concern about that leap of the chasm to get there. Not once but three times. I was and am completely confident I could not have gotten a better surgeon to handle my knee situation. Thank you Dr Weiner. Also the out patient hospital who prepared me and assisted were incredibly caring and kind. Kudos.

We had a TERRIBLE experience with Dr. Gossman. This doctor just gets patients into his office so he…read morecan cash in on the insurance payments, as he seems to schedule unnecessary appointments and he does not care if his patients are in pain, start their physical therapy on time, or even have braces that fit properly. My boyfriend dislocated his knee in a snowboarding accident, and we were referred here. We were walk-in patients the first time we went and met with the Physician's Assistant, Dr. Cook, who was thorough, and even pointed out elements of my BF's knee to us on the MRI. We were told to come back in 2 weeks to meet with their knee specialist - Dr. Gossman, and at that point we could also hopefully start PT. Dr. Gossman walked into the room and immediately began to interrogate me as to who I was: I introduced myself, but he wanted to know my relation to the patient - which I don't really see as any of his business. He poked a few places on my boyfriend's knee, which were obviously very painful, and then he sat down and asked him what he wanted to discuss with him about his knee. He never once asked my boyfriend how much pain he was in - currently, or since his last visit. My boyfriend also told Dr. Gossman that the brace he had was ill-fitting, and that he would like another one, and Dr. Gossman flat out said, "no", and told my BF that he needed to wear the brace 24/7 and not to work - at all. Dr. Gossman also asked why we were back in the office so soon, and after spending 5 minutes with us, told us to come back in 2 weeks. This orthopedic group is supposedly the most popular orthos in town, but after a visit with Dr. Gossman - I cannot, for the life of me, understand why. As we were checking out, the receptionist even remarked to us, "done already? My, that was fast." We called back to cancel the followup appointment and were told by the office manager that Dr. Gossman cannot refuse a patient a new brace. She apologized and tried to get us to see another one of their doctors, but by this point, the BF was done with Dr. Gossman, and make an appointment somewhere else. The new doctor was totally appalled that my BF had not started PT by this point in his injury. This new doc knows Dr. Gossman and said, "he should have started you in physical therapy weeks ago," and told us that he has told Dr. Gossman before that he cannot be so dismissive to his patients. The new doctor was also shocked that my BF had not been given another brace, as the one he currently was wearing was not fitting properly and even starting to come apart. Needless to say - the new doctor did his job, and Dr. Gossman did absolutely nothing, but seemed happy to schedule us for more appointments. Anyone considering Dr. Gossman should take their business elsewhere.
