We have no cancer but both of my parents, my younger sister, my grandparents, both granfathers died young, at 49 and 63 of heart disease, 7 or my Dad's 8 brothers and my mother's 4 siblings....so much heart disease and only a couple people lived beyond 83 and many died in their 60s and younger. The NM Heart Institute was working through Presbyterian hospital at the time but not for long. There was a split and they built a wonderful facility across the interstate and we feel fortunate to have them. My cardiologist saved my life. He was a GREAT doctor, and I am alive today at 77 because of him and the Heart Institute. My husband died of cancer 19 months ago but used the Heart Institute over the years as have I. I won't be surprised if I have to use them in the coming years. I have gotten such good care over the years. They are outstanding. I most highly recommend them.

I'm not sure how new the hospital is, but it FEELS new(er). It's very clean without having that sterile, hospital feel. I like the signage. I was also amused by the vending machine that sells scrubs. I suppose that would come in handy should one of the employees forget or need a new pair of scrubs. The nurse who came to attend to my Mom's friend was very pleasant. She engaged in small talk about her own personal life and had a caring demeanor. Overall, I think it's a nice hospital.

She said "I have heard unless you camp out there you get no communication" for such a small hospital this is crazy. First part So.... 2nd time here w hubby for surgery ie the bad news. It's difficult because I worked in healthcare for years long ago and wanted so badly to really like all about this hospital. But our doc, Dr Proffit is excellent. Bedside manner and of course competence are so important. He has both. Nice person and doc. BUT their communication and discharge planning are beyond abysmal. I know they have contract and traveling nurses but seriously folks, I got NO call from the time we went in to Westside and then at Heart. No how he's doing, no when he will be discharged no nothing. Having been a Kaiser patient for about 30 years in So Cal I know they have systems down to a science but I literally felt like saying "oh you want him go home, well you drive him" If you won't give me the common courtesy of letting me know you fail.

She arrived in my room right on time and had reviewed our last visit and then explained the results of recent blood test. She has a very pleasant and understanding communication style which I like. I highly recommend her.

5 Stars - A Truly Exceptional Experience…read more I can't say enough good things about the team at the Center for Vein Restoration in Albuquerque, NM. I came in with all the concerning symptoms of DVT after a long drive from Arizona, and despite my situation being stressful and unpredictable (my RV broke down, of course!), they found a way to schedule me immediately. To make things worse, I didn't realize I had crossed into a different time zone--so I showed up 30 minutes late to my appointment, flustered and rushing, only to find a full waiting room. I was mortified. But instead of turning me away or treating me coldly, the incredible ladies at the front desk showed me nothing but compassion and kindness. They understood the stress I was under and got me in right away, even though I know it must have caused a ripple effect in their schedule. They quickly ruled out a blood clot, which gave me immense relief. But what really stuck with me was the empathy, patience, and genuine care I received from every single person I interacted with. These women are absolute saints--and the kind of people you hope to encounter in healthcare but so rarely do. I have the deepest appreciation for them and their professionalism under pressure. I highly, highly recommend this clinic. They went above and beyond, and I will never forget their kindness during a really difficult day.
