Report
Dr Hammond in the ER basically mocked me for going there. I had IBS and was having the worst abdominal pain that day when I went in. After hearing it was just IBS he mocked me for being there, he said he could do nothing to help, and I should just go home, take a shower and relax. Id avoid this doctor AT ALL COSTS. By the way I was billed $150 simply for vitals taken.

The emergency room personnel are RUDE, Incompetent, unprofessional . Go to Santa Fe or Espanola! Dr Hammond, Chris Hammond, hung up on me 2 times after basically over dosing an 8 month old baby. The receptionist is RUDE and there needs to be al little more oversight. Malpractice is the norm as is rudeness. No wonder no one goes to the hospital in Los Alamos .

Horrible, horrible, horrible. I don't even want to start relating my first - and hopefully last!! - experience here. Unless you're in an ambulance, go ANYWHERE else!
Edit. Giving another star because, as usual, the actual medical professionals were just fine ... it's the office/support personnel that's the real problem. Just miserable.

I went to Los Alamos medical center, earlier this week. Ive had a problem for 5 years & after going to about 14 different doctors in Albuquerque & not receiving the care I needed, I had to go to los Alamos. The doctor in dermatology gave me a diagnosis & cleared up problem in a matter of 3 days. I will forever be grateful.

If I could give this medical center zero stars I would. They do everything in their power to keep their patients sick. Ive been repeatedly hung up on and denied medical help. Surgical referrals have been rejected repeatedly and I have waited days for a simple call back. This is no place to go if you require ACTUAL medical help.
