Rio Rancho/Albuquerque Dr Recommendation

I moved just shy of 2 months from my surgery on January 11, 2010 from West Virginia. I need a recommendation of BOTH A SURGEON and GENERAL PRACTIONER... would prefer younger male doctors for both..... any help appreciated! I am in Rio Rancho so closer would be nice.

On recommendations can you share some of your experiences (if any) and personable impressions of the doctors... links to their websites....

Thanks in advance..........

I'm sorry, but I don't think there are any surgeons that perform gastric bypass surgery in NM.  I had mine done in TX as do many others.  Flagstaff, AZ is another option.  I could be wrong about there being no surgeons here.  Someone from the support group I attended last week may know more. 

I am actually in Cortez Colorado, but am only a few miles from NM border, I checked in December of 2009 and was not able to find anyone in new mexico at all. I ended up going to Denver and since its like a 8 hour drive, will end up flying there for my post ops. The only ones not in metro denver are Grand junction that I know of.  Good luck, Rio Rancho is awesome, my sis lives there and I love to visit that area.

Try Lovelace Bariatric at Westside Hospital. Its close to you in Rio Rancho. Dr. Adam Smith does surgery at this hospital. Call and ask for Paula Axtell who is the managaer of Bariatric services. The hospital is located at 10501 Golf Course Road, NW in ABQ. The number is 505-727-2300.

Hope you find someone soon.
