New Mexico Orthopaedics

New Mexico Orthopaedics is currently home to 28 musculoskeletal physicians. Other than their impressive training and shared passion for providing excellent care, it is hard to put our doctors in any single box.

Our doctors have a diversity of specialty interests, training experiences and educational backgrounds. They come from cities across the U.S. and have trained at some of the best medical institutions in the world. They have served in various branches of the military and have participated in an array of service-oriented positions and activities. In their spare time, they are actively involved in everything from cycling to bluegrass bands. One doctor has even treated the medical problems of a cheetah.

The great diversity of our doctors provides an advantage to our patients. Problems can be assessed from different perspectives and options analyzed from different angles.

When you come to New Mexico Orthopaedics, you get more than just a doctor, you get a team of specialists working on your side.
