Anyone have or know of an OB in Albuquerque? I just moved her and would like to find a good doctor. An OB I can really trust and who has great bedside manners.
You just missed the Early Pregnancy Q&A here to help with suggestions for finding providers in town:

Go with your gut. Does the provider give you attention and time? Do you feel comfortable? Or do you feel like your bugging him or her? You deserve the best care, so demand it!
My sister lives in SF but drives to Albuquerque to see Dr. Joel Teicher at Lovelace. She even pays out of network to see him. I saw him a couple of times during my pregnancy, but mostly worked with 2 midwives at lovelace - Marta Teryaki and Janice Zoloto, who is also a DOM and has her own acupuncture and oriental medicine clinic. I had a good birth experience.
That said, before pg, and now 3 years post, I just use my family practice physician at UNM family health (Ruth Saavedra), which is fine.
I agree with the post that suggests the inspired birthing center. A great resource!
Welcome to Albuquerque!
I have used Dr. Gileen Elder also part of Women's Specialists. She was great! I have also used a midwife with them (Dr. Elder was on Medical Leave when I ahd my second child) The midwife's name is Ginger Panter and she is wonderful! Many of the nurses in the hospital told me that she is who they use as well, so I think that is a good sign because they get to work with many!
I do recommend looking into Women's Specialists, they have lots of Drs and lots of locations.
Dr. Javier Hernandez with Womens specialists at Pres is awesome!!! I have been seeing him for 5 years and never want to change. Their number is ###-###-####.
Good Luck!!!
