What I like most is that she will take the time to answer every question and help you find answers that work for you. Dr. Barlow has been my doctor for quite some time.

A family physician who's intelligent, caring and almost unbelievably up-to-date with medical…read morescience, Dr. Barlow makes her patients (those I know all agree with me) feel like a dear friend is looking out for their well being. She spends the time needed to hear the problems and to explain the issues, engaged with all the myriad data points every time I have an exam (imagine doing that for every patient; I know that she does because I'm acquainted with a few others of her patients and we all marvel about this) and yet at the same time she always brings a positive/encouraging friendly/kind/caring demeanor that is attentive to the smallest issues and patiently gracious even with the eccentricities of difficult patients (ask how I know). Her staff is professional and kind in person, and you'll generally get a same-day reply from Dr. Barlow or her staff (never later than the next day!) when you send an inquiry through the MyChart system. Dr. Barlow not only gives good, targeted referrals for specialist care, she follows up to make sure that care was provided to her standards. Dr. Barlow comes across as a wonderful caring friend - my wife and I think it's almost a miracle that we'd be blessed to know a physician who's both so razor-edge sharp and yet such a lovely person.

First, the good: Sharon Schaaf is very personable and genuinely seems to care about my health. I…read morehave been very happy with the medical care I received. The problem lies with the business professionalism of the staff and office management. Here are the issues I have dealt with, in order of irritation: Communication Failures: Recently, the office changed their phone number due to technical issues (a DDoS attack) but failed to inform patients. They did not send emails or postcards to notify clients. Worse, the old number still plays a generic greeting inviting you to leave a message, but the mailbox is full. A simple update to the recording or a mass email would have solved this. Instead, I had to drive 10 miles to the office just to find out why I couldn't reach them. Billing and Accessibility: During my last visit, I was charged a $20 copay based on old insurance records, despite telling the clerk I had changed plans (which carries a $10 copay). I confirmed with my insurer that the office must accept the negotiated $10 rate. I tried calling twice to resolve this--no response. I even stopped by the office during posted business hours to discuss it, but the door was locked with no explanation posted. Improper Charges: On my first visit, a clerk charged me tax on my copay. Copays are not taxable. When I pointed this out at my next visit, they corrected it moving forward, but offered no apology for the previous error or the fact that they had been doing it incorrectly. Unfortunately, this city is short on primary healthcare providers. It took me a long time to find a doctor, so I count my blessings that I have a decent primary care provider in Sharon Schaaf, but I have to grit my teeth to bear the administrative frustrations.

FINALLY! For the first time in decades I felt listened to and heard by a provider. What a delight…read moreto visit a practitioner where the care is sincere and thoughtful. Finally medical care in Albuquerque that feels personal, attentive, and nothing like a "the system". Their office staff is also top notch. I called after not finding Sol Vida under my insurance and they did all the necessary work to get my insurance to cover me. I was able to simply show up and be a patient. I felt advocated for by their entire team. If you are missing accessible, individualized care, go see these knowledgeable, smart and genuinely compassionate human beings.

Staff changes a lot. Most are strangely unfriendly. There have been several visits where things…read morefelt sort of off, just unfriendly, and uncomfortable, but nothing really concrete. Its enough so that I sort of tense up any time before I have to go in. This time I needed blood drawn. I have slight needle anxiety, I always let the phlebotomist know, and its never been a problem. This time the staff acted like I was a serious pain in the ass for notifying them. I was embarrassed and apologizing right and left, but the antagonistic attitude of the staff wound my anxiety up so high I had to leave without getting blood drawn. I figure enough is enough. I will say that, so far, it seems like all you have to do cancel a membership is call and tell them you want to quit. So that's sort of a plus, I guess...

Dr. Wong is very good. I've been to see him 3-4 times now, and he always takes time to talk to me…read moreabout my health situation, any changes that have happened, etc. Not just a cold, analytical approach, but he tries to really understand what is going on. And I'll be honest, Dr. Wong saw that my cholesterol was a little too high, and he suggested I lose a few pounds. But, he didn't stop there. He actually helped me figure out how to lose those pounds. He suggested a diet plan and helped me set goals. Ruffreshing!! On a practical note, Dr. Wong is fairly easy to get an appointment with, which is nice. Over all, highly recommended.

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. He is also a descendent, for anyone who is interested, of Major General Eugene Asa Carr, who graduated from West Point 19th in a class of 44 in 1850, and who fought in the Civil War, winning the Medal of Honor for his heroic action in the battle of Pea Ridge, AR. 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.

Dr Holman is a very kind easy to talk to Doctor. His vast knowledge makes it easy to understand…read morehim. UNM I believe only has him there in Sandoval one or two days a week. The wait for a Colonoscopy is over a year there. The staff surrounding him are really quite nice and the Student that I saw was super kind and really listened in detail to my long history and made me feel very comfortiable. Dr Holman gets 5 Stars because the backup for a procedure isn't his fault, it's the lack of new Doctors coming into the Profession here. I was placed with him because they called to change my appointment that I had with someone else and it was going to be next year and I just couldn't wait.
