We fully appreciate the frustrations that often accompany referrals to specialists. We will always make your referrals as easy and direct as possible. There is never a problem speaking directly with one of our physicians. We will do whatever is necessary to get your patient into our clinic for a first visit as soon as possible. Our goal is for new patients to be seen as soon as possible, but no later than three business days.
We will always provide immediate feedback after our initial consultation and will keep you informed every step of the way. We want to work closely with you and keep you involved in your patient's care.
The section below for patients lists several reasons why we believe we are the best choice in New Mexico when referring a patient for specialty healthcare.
Thank you very much for considering Health Specialists of New Mexico.
For Patients, Families & Physician Offices
New Patient Direct Appointment Line and Office Staff Referral Line:
(If you are an existing Health Specialists patient and want to make an appointment, the information you need is on our Appointments page.)
We understand that you may be facing an illness that can be frightening.
You deserve to be seen for your first visit without delay. Our goal is for new patients to be seen as soon as possible.
Some insurance companies will not allow us to schedule you until they have authorized the visit. Our New Patient Coordinators are trained to help you with this.
You deserve a healthcare team that is dedicated to putting your needs first, and to providing the very finest, up-to-date, compassionate care available anywhere. A team that holds as one of their highest priorities, doing whatever is needed to keep you healthy and at home, out of the hospital.
You deserve to be reassured that we are an independent practice, free from the conflicts of interest that are often present in hospital systems that do best when their beds are filled and extra services are given.
You deserve to be treated by physicians collaborating with leading practices around the country, adhering to the latest and best scientifically validated treatment pathways and clinical trials, and staying on the cutting edge of innovation.
You deserve to be cared for in a certified Oncology Medical Home, where your team is committed to providing you with the services that you need, when you need them, doing as much of that as possible in our outpatient facilities, and coordinating your care with other doctors and services.
We will work closely with your primary care physician, keeping him or her informed about your progress and involved in your care.
If you have already seen an oncologist or specialty physician and would like a second opinion, we would be very happy to do that. You may learn more about that here.
Ask your physician to please refer you to Health Specialists of New Mexico.
For Health Plans
We understand that health plans generally do not directly refer patients. But health plans often are involved with approving new referrals, and certainly in decisions regarding network contracting. In addition to the information found above, we would be delighted to discuss with you why we believe that New Mexico Health Specialists provide the very best value in the treatment of complex oncologic, hematologic, and rheumatologic illnesses.
