I cannot recommend Dar A Luz enough! I came for prenatal care during my second pregnancy. The…read moredifference in care from my first pregnancy and my second was undeniable. Dar A Luz is simply the best. From start to finish, every visit was warm, personalized, and reassuring. I will forever be a patient at Dar A Luz and plan to continue my well-woman visits, and hopefully future pregnancies, there as well. It was absolutely wonderful catching up with Meagan; it felt just like seeing an old friend. I also have a big THANK YOU to say to Eliza and Abigail for truly having my back and making me feel comfortable before my dreaded and unexpected C-section. Thank you for making the experience the best it could have been. The care, attention, and genuine kindness from the entire team make Dar A Luz feel like more than a midwife visit. It feels like family. Thank you for all that you do.

I was able to have the birth I was not able to have with my daughter! Such an empowering experience! They are able to see you for all of your prenatal care and well as see the baby for the 1st month after they are born! They take insurance which is amazing and can even do most of your labs on site! No more going to tricore! I am able to see them now as well for my well woman check ups! Thank you Dar a Luz for all of your excellent care!

I had a calm and comforting experience with the Women's Specialists of New Mexico Clinic. The…read moreprovider I visited with is Heather Vietch. I felt she listened and addressed my concerns with professionalism and compassion. I was so pleased with my care today, that I am returning to see a general physician here as well. The offices, waiting room and facilities are clean and well kept. I recommend this clinic to anyone seeking great women's health in the Albuquerque area.

It took me three months of excruciating pain before I could get in to see a doctor. Then I go in…read morethe nurse was really nice asked a bunch of questions. When I actually got to see the doctor I was met with distain and no compassion didn't want to figure out what was wrong. Just wanted to refer me to other people so I went and started again going online trying to figure out my own symptoms. Based on my lab work that was done that the doctor had access to, so I have some type of infection could have prescribed me something based on that ordered some test. I was looked at now just oh well you have a small fibroid and nothing is gonna help your pain. We can maybe try this and maybe try that maybe try this but didn't wanna actually figure it out. Just wanted to refer me somewhere else so hopefully the excruciating pain she put me through for the test actually get run so I can get the results and hopefully get a doctor that will actually try and figure out what's wrong and help instead of criticizing and treat me like I didn't matter

I honestly cannot believe that I haven't left a review of New Life. I hired a doula thanks to my…read moresister as a present for my birth. Our doula was Judy Key, who is so sweet. I enjoyed our visits together during my pre-labor visits and she came right away when my water broke and I went to Dar a Luz birthing center. She sat with me during a stress test, talked through the plan to get my labor going, and then off she went to help me choke down some castor oil in a keva juice smoothie. She spent all afternoon with me trying to get my labor going with walks, pumping etc, and finally when we had to make the choice to go to the hospital she met us there and had the room ready for us. She made it so my partner could sleep at night and she stayed up with me while I labored. I don't know how we would've survived my very long labor without her. Once we were home, she provided sitz baths pre-made for me and helped me learn how to nurse my baby. I really enjoyed having a doula. I did get other parts too such as the post partum yoga with my baby, the belly binding, and the meal planning/guide. All of it was wonderful! I highly recommend getting a doula.

Updating my review since the initial nurse I saw left the practice (she was awful). After they…read morefound fibroids on my ultrasound, I was referred over to Dr. Valdez for a surgical consult, and I'm so grateful I landed in her care! She's kind, knowledgeable, and patient, always taking time to explain procedures and options (as well as risks), and always answered all of my questions (and my partner's and mom's). I also really appreciate that she's not a fluff person, just direct and to the point, but she also laughs and jokes with us. It's apparent she deeply cares about her patient's. Dr. Valdez got me the referral to hematology that the original nurse refused, and my iron infusions really helped with my anemia and iron deficiency. She then did my myomectomy this summer, which unfortunately didn't last, and my fibroids came back right away (to no fault of hers), so I got in for a hysterectomy with her in November. Besides blood clots, which I was at higher risk for, I've had zero complications or issues, and both of my post-op appointments were pain-free and reassuring. Both of my ultrasound technicians were also wonderful, making sure I was comfortable and took their time to make sure they got everything. I highly recommend Dr. Valdez for any gynecological surgery needs!

I would no go here again. Their service is terrible. The women behind the desk are dismissive and…read moreif your even a little late they won't see you, but the doctor can take over an hour to see you even if you have an appointment. They do not explain anything and on top of that impossible to reach. They do not hand the phone off to anyone. They ask you leave a voicemail with the nurses who never get back to you. Overall pretty disappointing way to start off a pregnancy. The only good part of this place is the ultrasound tech who is a different provider. My ultrasound tech told me more about my kid than the doctor who took forever to see me. And just to tell me everything was fine. Did not even give me an estimated due date.

All three of my pregnancies and deliveries were different and required different care. Connie was able to adapt to all three situations. She trusted my knowledge and intuition about my body and my baby. We chose Connie because of her knowledge and experience and we kept using her because of the amazing care she provided. She is thorough and thoughtful and we can't recommend her midwifery services enough.
