Cured my Blepharospasm, and more…read more.. A year ago I developed an unusual condition with my eyes where they involuntarily closed and were irritated, forcing me to not be able to drive and work. After several visits to optometrists who incorrectly diagnosed the condition as dry-eye and much research later, I determined that it is a neurological condition. Getting an appointment from a neurological specialist take months; while no work or driving or normal life. More research and talking to others, an eye doctor's assistant said she had heard of this condition being treated with botox injections in the eyelids. I setup an appointment with NM Eye Associates and it helped the condition (a "band-aid" solution, not correcting the cause), but with side-affects. The best part of the botox was that now I know the problem: Blepharospasm. The condition I had is called Blepharospasm, which is an abnormal contraction of the eyelid muscles. Now that I know the condition...more research, and more options, such as acupuncture. I setup an appointment with Dr. Geoffrey N. Hayes at Endpoint Wellness. Geoffrey say me that day. I had never had acupuncture before, and didn't have an opinion regarding if I believed in eastern medicine or not. One thing is for sure, I didn't know how it worked. Geoffrey talked with be to describe the basics of opening-up or releasing the chi (energy) and blood. He said due to my condition (again, unable to work and live a normal life for months), I should receive treatment frequently at first. I received acupuncture around my eyes (mainly) and other normal spots every other day for the first couple of weeks. After the first two visit I noticed relief, I was VERY excited. Within 2 weeks the condition was much better, at least to the point where I could drive and work and live normally. We changed our appointments to 2 per week, then 1 per week, then 1 per 2 weeks, and now 1 per 3 weeks. I AM CURED!!! ENDPOINT WELLNESS saved me. In a very short time Geoffrey resolved my problem, where many other doctors could not. I now go to Endpoint Wellness about every 3 weeks. Now I ask Geoffrey to focus on other stuff in addition to my eyes; such as allergies or injuries or soreness or general tune-ups. It is amazing how far-reaching acupuncture is regarding our bodies. In addition to the acupuncture by Endpoint Wellness, some other benefits are that they take most medical insurance, they support other muscle/body rehab work, and Geoffrey is open / willing to help in any area you may need assistance. Geoffrey and Jennifer are personal, very nice, and great contributors to our health...wonderful assets to our Albuquerque community.

I came for help with one thing, but something else happened and they switched to help me with both. I saw 6 therapists. Each one was just as good as the others teaching me what to do, explaining why I was doing it, helping me get it right, printing out handouts so I could remember what to do when I got home. I am feeling better and will continue to do the exercises. Kale was provided an incredible experience and I highly recommend it for everyone.

Every department I have dealt with at this facility has been very poor. From trying to make an…read moreappointment(put your life on hold for an hour), to the initial exam by Dr. Chapman that was so aggressive that left me in pain on my good knee for 3 days to just now getting off the phone with them when they sent me a collection demand letter and then a week later sent me a statement for the actual services received... of course the representative was rude. DON'T GO HERE. My doctor was Chapman, when he was comparing my good knee to my bad knee he kept popping pulling and digging his fingers under my knee saying he was trying to find my ACL. It was so intense that he left my good knee bruised for three days and my bad knee now had this large bulge under it that was much more painful than before. I saw another doctor at Mayo which is where I am going now and his evaluation was delicate compared to Dr. Chapman. MRI was a pain to deal with because they had a young inexperienced tech who wrote things in her chart that I never said just because I have a small needle in me. People get MRI's all the time with metal in them and this was tiny. I had to make at least 20 more calls to departments with numerous unreturned calls to finally get the MRI. My doctors assistant at one point cancelled my appointment as I was on my way there so I could not answer my phone while driving and then I never got her to return my calls. Made three calls that week to reschedule and still never received a call back. That's when I finally called Mayo and I feel like it was a call from God. I had people approach me in the store without even knowing me to say not to go to New Mexico Orthopaedics and now I understand why. Scheduling, billing, the doctor, MRI, medical records, all of the departments were challenging, even compared to other local large medical facilities like The New Mexico Cancer Center or the hospital. I cannot even imagine the nightmare of going through with a surgery with them. Save your sanity. Go somewhere else. There are other options!

My pre surgery contact was nothing less than professional. I received calls and texts reminding me of appts. Preop screening was done over the phone -saving me a trip. Billing called the day before to remind me to bring: insurance cards, ID, etc & what my copay On the day of surgery the registration office was in the same room - no trekking all over the hospital looking for offices. Once I signed in I received a text when registration was ready for me, the nurse text me that she would be out shortly etc. My wife & I were brought back to the preop area and prepped quickly allowing each provider plenty of uninterrupted time to talk with me. Each step in the process was fully explained so there would be no surprises. My wife was able to follow my progress via text . The recovery room stay was quick - within an hour of coming out of surgery I was in the car and on my way home. Everyone I came into contact with was professional, knowledgeable and enjoyed their job. As a surprise I received a get well card in the mail. It was signed by the surgeon, nurses & the anesthetist involved in my care. Truly a professional experience. If you w to are having a day surgery and this place is an option you'd be foolish to go elsewhere. The other hospitals in Albuquerque could learn something here.

My case is complicated and we talked about what could and couldn't be done and schedule for MRI's and followup. Getting an appointment was quite easy and they send a link by text to actually check in you load your information including ID and a picture so when we arrived there it was a quick process. We were sent up to the second floor and were told to follow the orange line to a waiting room that was packed! We were told they will see 900 Patients today! Yes, 900. The parking lot was full too and I am handicapped so my hubby had to park a ways away. The wait was over a half an hour but once they got us in the room it went quickly. I was taken to Xray. The 4 stars is for the lady in Xray who lacked kindness. After your appointment you wait for a few minutes and a Gentleman comes in and schedules your MRI (which is done in the same building) and then the followup. He was wonderful even if he was a Kansas City FAN.

It wasn't until after I paid and after the surgeries that he said he couldn't guarantee results but he never said that before I went through with it. Another Dr has to fix his mess and told me the rhinoplasty was the worst he's ever seen, along with the chin liposuction. He didn't go all the way through, he went half way, causing a double chin, which I didn't have before and I do not gain weight. I've been 120 since high school. He did not address the issues I asked. The tip was to be removed like the picture which was my main concern. Instead, the tip was left in tact, not even addressed, and he made my nose bulky and changed my nostrils which I did not ask for and my nose looks worse than it did originally. I went with him bc he was affordable but I realize now he's affordable bc he doesn't know faces. He did the surgery without addressing the actual issue and created an asymmetrical nose when it was symmetrical, all I needed was the tip removed. Don't go with this Dr just because he's affordable. I found a better Dr who charges more, however, his rhinoplasty reviews are all positive, not like here, most of these reviews are body surgeries, not the face. I would not recommend him if you want the results you pay for. The rhinoplasty completely destroyed my face and one nostril is bigger than the other. I recommend saving for a bit longer, don't choose this office just because it's affordable. You will get what you pay for and I know that now. He even yelled at me for calling him out and when I left the room, two patients waiting in the lobby told me they couldn't believe he raised his voice at me bc they heard him. This Dr destroyed my face, created asymmetrical nostrils, did not address the tip which the picture clearly showed was the only area to touch, destroyed my chin, which I had done to create a better jaw formation, instead now I have a double chin, and he lied before I paid, and after the surgery, said he couldn't promise results. If you want results, go elsewhere. This Dr lies, doesn't address the issue, and yells, which is unprofessional. Worst mistake of my life and now I'm botched and I have to get it redone by a more experienced Dr.
