The recently opened University of New Mexico Adult Emergency unit and Critical Care Tower is a huge…read moreimprovement over the previous emergency room. One thing that really struck me was the security. We had to stop and be wanded and have all of our belongings searched before we were allowed to enter the waiting room and patient check-in area. It feels good knowing there are no weapons in the area and that everyone has been checked. Don't forget to leave your pepper spray in the car. There was an individual who was just kind of hanging out, laying down on one of the chairs. Security came to move him along and before long, there were 6 to 7 officers surrounding the individual who was refusing to leave. They were able to diffuse the situation and remove the gentleman without violence or harm. I was extremely impressed with the security in this new emergency unit and the professionalism of the officers. Another great feature is the mobile triage unit. In the waiting room, folks are triaged without having to get up from their chairs. Of course this is extremely helpful for people with mobility issues and the team was expeditious and professional. Another great feature are the private consultation cubbies that they have in the waiting room. The providers can come out and meet confidentially with the patient's family without having everyone in the waiting room listening. A super way to protect HIPAA. The visitor check-in staff were clear, kind, and personable, even with people who are not particularly kind to them. I felt like they actually cared about me and my family, which was really nice for a change. They also seemed to know who we were when I went back up to see if we could go back yet. I was really surprised because it had been an hour or so and many people had rolled through, but they knew right away that we were already checked in and able to go back to visit my family member. Each family is escorted to their family members' room in the back so there aren't people wandering around which again ensures greater security. My family member received exceptional care in the new emergency unit. He had Level 2 Trauma and was assessed quickly with myriad tests and imaging studies completed. We arrived at the hospital around 8 PM in the evening and after making sure my family member was being taken care of we left and were called at 4am to come to pick him up. This is remarkable considering many people, including me, have noted waiting upwards of 15 hours in the old UNMH emergency room. We were seen and my family member treated and released within eight hours! This was simply astounding to me, given how long it usually takes to be taken care of in an emergency room. The staff in the emergency unit were professional, kind, and forthcoming with information when they had it. This included a nurse and an x-ray tech with whom we interacted directly. Also, when we were trying to figure out where to go, a really nice staff member from the hospital (possibly a nurse or tech), who was taking his dinner break, kindly walked us to where we needed to go. Even when I tried to wave him off because I wanted him to eat his dinner while it was hot, he still proceeded further to make sure that we got to the right location quickly. He was also incredibly personable and kind. I feel that my family member received top-notch care by an experienced and professional team of individuals who worked together well to care of, not only my family member, but me and my other family member. At this point, I am happy to highly recommend the new University of New Mexico Hospital, emergency department and critical care tower. You can drop patients off at the Yale exit for the adult emergency unit. The pediatric emergency unit is a separate entrance and another location (see a map of UNMH online before you go). I don't have details on that since I haven't used it. I'm sorry, but I did not take pictures of the emergency department or waiting area in order to comply with HIPAA and to show general consideration for those in the waiting room. I hope you never need to go there, but if you do, you'll definitely be in good hands.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carr's since 2002. He is a graduate of the Stanford University…read moreMedical School and did his residency at their hospital in San Francisco.

Dr. Carr is a wonderful doctor, but alas, it is now for naught. He has decided to retire. His last day of seeing patients will be on December 12, 2017, and he's already all booked up.

It's a nice little Private Practice in the Encino complex among other small Medical Offices. The employees of always been helpful, friendly and efficient. I've had several nurse practitioners come and go through the years some I have enjoyed some were just my nurse practitioners. It's usually not very crowded, not long of a wait and you can usually get same-day appointments. It's in a great location right off of the freeway with plenty of off-street parking and directly across from the pharmacy how convenient is that? Although the staff has changed throughout the years the care and attention from the doctor and nurse practitioners have not changed. There's plenty of seating inside this little office with a television, wager station, plenty of magazines to read and beautiful photography decorating the walls. They do have after hours doctors on staff and you usually get a call back very quickly. I would recommend this office for someone who is looking for a reliable doctor or an efficient nurse practitioner but don't become too attached to them because they seem to come and go often. I would not like to recommend this office because I enjoy it being small and not crowded and being able to get same-day appointments. So to Roundup this review its a great office, great staff, great nurse practitioners and a great old grumpy Dr.

My energy level was a little low for 2 - 3 weeks, but after that it was honestly as if I had not had surgery. I have four small incisions which still show, but they are fading away nicely. I am several months out now from the surgery, and I can say it has been a complete success and am experiencing a level of freedom I haven't experienced in years. If you are a woman who is considering minimally invasive surgery after other options have failed, I highly recommend Dr. Garcia.

She explained the procedure, did not push me into a decision, and was through in explaining all possible options. I made the decision to have the procedure and I am extremely please with the results. Minimal pain and scaring and I did not experience much fatigue. I was back to full activity (yoga, weight lifting, hiking) by the second week. Dr. Garcia is well trained and experienced in doing laparoscopic surgery. She is a nice person too.

From the beginning, there were red flags, but I wasn't in a place that I could necessarily do a lot about it. Again I had a medical care coordinator who kinda' was doing their job, and was working on getting my services "under one roof" so that I had a chance at a diagnosis... I was dealing with a list of symptoms, sudden onset of vision change, Chorioretinitis, uveitis, a personality change, treatment resistant depression, rapid onset of systemic pain, severe joint pain, sudden fatigue and weakness - when I was an elite athlete 12 years ago - continuing decline in my lung health unrelated to my being a former smoker, systemic muscle spasms, granulomas in my lungs and liver (although they didn't find those liver granulomas until 2024, and still won't acknowledge them,) spikes in bilirubin, night sweats, insomnia, random fevers, cold intolerance, nodules in my lungs (again, they never followed up on either the granulomas or nodules.) I came to UNM with a few issues. Seeking a solution/cause instead of an excuse and drugs. I didn't get the handful of drugs because I charted the drugs they give people (benzos, opioids, and similar) as allergies. They stopped giving me excuses when I questioned and challenged them with current research. They also didn't give me a solution. I've now got pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Pulmonary didn't want to chart the PF, and has still refused to chart the bronchiectasis. As far as what caused it all... well I now know, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm now dying, when I could have been treated for years before it progressed to this point. A read of my chart, one single medical professional taking the time to actually read my chart, symptoms, review blood work (contemporary and historic,) and cross with my images would have said: this is such a textbook case is sarcoidosis that we can actually validate the textbook with it. But, no one actually cared to do their job that much. The pictures: UNM was breached, multiple times. They haven't publicly owned multiple breaches, and failed to report them under HIPAA's breach reporting. I am/was a cybersecurity engineer. In order to access their network, you need a few things: access to the IP address schemes, the MAC address associated with an IP address, and access to a computer to pull either login token or login keys from. That can be done in under 1 minute with a rubber ducky. I was left alone with the terminal pictured for over 1/2 an hour. And I was carrying a laptop. Going to UNM is like getting a consult by Dr Josef Mengele, a second opinion from RFK Jr., and then treated by Dr Kevorkian... the difference is UNM kills you more cruelty, with less medical knowledge, and much more slowly, than the 3 mentioned.
