Here is what I wrote, in response to an article online, complaining about doctors. I said it, I…read moremeant it and I will say it here! I have an AWESOME doctor! Gloria Ruiz in Santa Fe. She listens to me, we speak to each other as colleagues. When I ask questions, she answers me AND on one occasion told me she did not know about something but that she would RESEARCH it and get back to me... and she did! We operate on a platform of mutual respect. She is a caring professional and she knows that I am a responsible patient. When she prescribes something, I ask her what is it? Why do I need it? Will it interact with other medications? How do I help it to work correctly? We are partners with the same goal in mind, my health. That is the way it SHOULD be.

Wolfswinkle is a nightmare. I went to her several years ago and she found cervical dysplasia. Her…read morenurse was looking over her shoulder the entire time of the exam. When they left the room they left the door wide open! Then she ran test three times to be sure the results were correct. She told me she was going to remove half of my cervix and to come in the following week. I told her I would prefer to work on it holistically first. She said 'If you don't do this you will die". I then worked with a practitioner who cleared up the dysplasia completely. Went back to Wolfswinkle who ran the test again and I was clear of any dysplasia. She refused to believe I ever had it and said her testing must have been wrong. Then she told me not to come back! She's hard, cold and doesn't listen to her patients.

Very upset with my experience today. I have moved from out of state and tried to find a physician…read more Preferably an OBGYN to assume my care. (Not that I need much). I was told when I called the office, they had a Nurse Practitioner that could see me. I offered a few details, to make sure this would be a good fit. I am in the medical profession and I am not opposed to a qualified NP. Usually when they are working under a physician in a physician's office. They are qualified. Today I didn't experience that. To say the least, I left highly disappointed and really felt like I was not treated well. I didn't get to see anyone. I was told the Nurse Practitioner didn't have a DEA number. And therefore, she does not prescribe medication. This would have been nice to know before I was told she could see me. I then asked if they had a physician that could see me. I was told no. ( Not for sure then where the physician was. Or why at some point she couldn't see me.) Unfortunately, today was a really bad disappointing day. Would not recommend this place.

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

Went here for GYN visit. Without going into personal details, let me tell you this is THE place to…read morego. Terri Caspary-Schmidt is so kind and patient and seems to honestly care about her patients. I have some very complex issues, but she is working with me on them. So great! Nice clean office. Multiple handicap spaces up front. Someone even rushed out to open the door for my cane-usimg self. Phenomenal service all the way around.

This is a wonderful place to get your normal routine care done. They specialize in women and…read morechildren's care but do offer other services. I have been using their services since moving to ABQ and have found staff to be very compassionate. They listen to you, any concerns that you may have and advise the different options/things that they can do to help you. Although my visits had been with different staff, I found them all to be very personable and have great bedside manner. There was no uncomfortable, awkward moments, despite some types of checkups that are needed for women's care at all. The only thing is...I think they are pretty short staffed. You arrive and check in...but you may have to wait a bit to actually get your name/check in done (because the front desk runs a bit late) or the staff may still be with their prior appointments. But otherwise, the quality of their staff, their services and the cleanliness of this facility made me feel pretty content with the services I receive there.

Dr. Garcia is amazing. I cannot sing her praises enough. A gentle, compassionate, thoughtful soul…read morewrapped in a direct honesty and clarity that cuts through patient anxieties... plus she is excellent at ensuring that any procedure that causes discomfort or even pain (e.g. a biopsy) is done in a way that both is thorough in providing what needs doing, and working quickly and with both her and staff keeping the patient engaged in order to minimize duration of any distress. She also makes sure to thoroughly review and be familiar with other conditions that patient may have beyond the reproductive system, and I highly recommend her to people who, like me, have multiple health issues. Her decision-making while taking the whole person and all challenges and needs into consideration, is sound.
