Dr. Robert Smith has been a life saver. I was in a recent car accident and my neck, shoulders and…read morelow back were locked up so tightly I could not sleep and was so tired from just feeling pain all day. I started a new job a few days after being in the accident which made it hard to get in to any doctor during regular hours. Dr. Smith understood my situation and without hesitation booked me for the following day after I got out of work. My first treatment helped me have a pain-free night and I slept like a baby. I am still in treatment with the doctor, although COVID-19 put a delay in our treatment schedule and plan. I found relief in the few sporadic appointments we have been able to work out. I challenge and encourage you to give him a call, make that appointment. You don't need to suffer endlessly from an injury or physical pain, sciatica, etc. The doctor is in. Try him, tell him Angela referred you. You can thank me later!

A real Mickey Mouse outfit at the Coors location, the bureaucracy of process to get treated is…read morehorrendous. Front desk personnel was unable to explain the waivers, consent forms, or name the exact procedure to even get checked-in. The office manager is nice new and getting used to the processes. Some of the nurses don't even know how to take vitals, blood pressure, properly. The doctor is great. Dr. Rumbaugh is very good and overworked at multiple locations. I hope they are paying him well. But this medical company functions with HQ in El Paso. Their IT dept lacks serious GUI programming skills. I had to check-in, preregister and check-in again online even though I was standing in the office. Try another location because this is the worst of the NMPC offices. I hope to find a better pain management office with a doctor as competent as Dr Rumbaugh. If you are just a person who wants opiates or other drugs to feed an addiction, this is not the place for you. They have strict guidelines for administering pain meds. That is a good thing. I have structural damage to my spine and discs. With severe damage comes severe pain. NMPC can help you but not this location.

I've been a patient at Interventional Pain Associates for just over a year, and I genuinely can't…read moresay enough good things. Before I found Dr. Raiten, I'd been dealing with severe, debilitating pain while every provider I was seeing made me feel like I was being dramatic and it wasn't that bad. That is an incredibly isolating experience, and if you've been through it you know exactly what I mean. Dr. Raiten was able to figure out what was actually going on at my first appointment. He caught something rare that everyone else had completely missed because he actually sat down and took the time to listen to me. That led me to get specialized treatment out of state that has made my life immeasurably better. The procedures have always gone smoothly, and follow ups with his PA Maria haven't been rushed. I am able to trust everyone at IPA, which isn't something I say lightly given how long it took to find people who actually took me seriously and listened.

Lady said she was already having a bad day and busy. She did not check me in until 9:10 and forgot to give me my paperwork. I told a nurse. The nurse got her to check me in and give me my paperwork to sign. They gave conflicting instructions for the out-patient procedure, one set was for those who required sedation and the other was not. Referrals never made it to the specialists. I called for medication refills and they gave me the runaround and said they wouldn't message the doctor. I had to make an appointment again even though my last visit was a month earlier. Be sure to get a printout for their policies regarding calling for refills and opt out of any online or mobile check-in processes. They take forever to do their job.

My messages in the portal went unanswered, requests for refills from the pharmacy unanswered. After several weeks I finally called and was told she's no longer with Ribera Healthcare. When asked how I get refills I was told I would need to come in and get established with one of their current providers. Until I could get established with a new provider I would not have access to any of my medication. This is patient abandonment! It's a shame, Catherine James was the best provider I've ever seen and I will truly miss her. But Ribera Healthcare has put people in danger with how they're handling her departure.

I was originally scheduled with Olga, but the day of I saw a new provider in their office -who was rude and uneducated about the medications. They would not refill my prescription, and in fact was pushing their out-of-pocket prescriptions over my covered insurance prescriptions. I wrote a letter, I was seen again and then was told at the next appointment that I would be dropped as patient. The new ways they are running this facility is unethical and wrong. Shame on them. They front office has always been great I will say.

Dr. Esparza and his PA treated me with lidocaine trigger point injections, which loosened my muscles immediately. The injections relieved the sciatica and back pain within an hour and the relief lasted weeks. I did my part with weight loss, physical therapy, and daily swimming in addition to the injections, so my sciatica and back pain went away within a few months. Whenever I got a flare up, the office welcomed me back for maintenance injections, as needed. I highly recommend treating back pain and sciatica with Dr. Carlos J. Esparza!

After a lot of confusion and wasted time with a spinal condition I hired Dr. Campa to sort…read moreeverything out for me. He was able to sort through my complicated case and even had me get another EMG/NCS which showed much more detail than the previous one conducted by one of the healthcare giants. I was being forced down a human cattle shoot by a corporate Dr. What Dr. Campa offered at first was an unbiased view of what was really going on with me and made recommendationsfor treatment that I will greatly benefit from. His depth of experience has led me to a path of healing rather than jumping through hoops to get substandard or greatly truncated care. Dr Campa is a champion for his patients putting them before corporate profit. What Dr. Campa has been able to offer me after the initial consultation is cutting edge treatment that in my case has had promising results. He is a world class researcher in our backyard rite here in albuquerque. His genius with Neurology is immediately apparent and the no nonsense approach that he uses is refreshing to say the least. My whole trajectory has changed for the better with my orthopedic and neurological maladies. Dr Campa has helped me to realize a much brighter future. This is cutting edge research medicine. A few caveats go along with it. The results aren't guaranteed " common throughout medicine already" and most health insurance does not cover off label use of Cross linked Hyaluronic acid. PRP is commonly used in oral surgery to regrow bone. In fact that's where Dr. Campa got part of his idea for this research. I am looking forward to the next round of treatments with an enthusiasm renewed by careful testing and expert experience. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Campa and his practice
