New Mexico Pain Center - Pain Management in Santa Fe, New Mexico

“Read whole post :This place was a joke! Horrendous. Went first time with CD 1.5 yrs old. Dr Watkins says ,oh this is too old, go get another MRI. Got another MRI and he waltzes in and says, severe deterioration , increased since last time, too old for surgery ..then.." I'm leaving ". As in leaving the practice. Then He says, " Viya con Dios". Done. Are you kidding me!?!! Some guy supposedly coming up in the future to see patients. They are overwhelmed and could give a shit. ******* I DID RETURN... the Dr. now is Dr. Vasquez. He had good bedside manner, listened well, discussed MRI results and current medications. We decided on a treatment for next month. We will see. He comes over from Texas once a month amd even brought some of his staff from Texas. This was a MUCH more hopeful, professional, educational visit. The staff was extremely friendly as well. . I do believe in giving people and places second chances.”

“Dr. John Watkins is an absolutely amazing doctor. He truly cares about his patience and their care! His staff is equally amazing and I am blessed to have Dr. Watkins and his team taking care of my pain management. He has never pushed me to do procedures that I can not afford as i do not have insurance. He does everything to take care of me and he has put me on a new medication that has helped my RSD like no other doctors have. I am so happy to be off all the pain and nerve medication that didn't help me, just "got" me through the day. Now i live a fulfilling life thanks to his care! If you are in need of a great pain management doctor, this is the doctor to see. I drive 2 hours one way to see him and I will never change my doctor unless he retires! Thank you, Dr. Watkins and your staff for the amazing treatments I receive from you and your staff!”

“The staff is amazing. I always feel better after seeing them. They take blood with no pain and they always have a smile, asking how i'm doing. Judith is so easy to talk with. Doctor. Watkins and i are on the same page/team in trying several methods of improving my pain. Exercise, meds, nutrition. What a great pain doc! Thank you all! Keith”

“I have a lot of nervous system issues with pain and other neurological symptoms. The medical system in general has conditioned me to keep it to myself and not make doctor appointments because its a complicated mess of issues and most doctors stop listening or get frustrated if the explanation of symptoms is longer than a sentence. Dr. Watkin's was incredibly kind and empathetic and really listened to my issue and seemed to be knowledgable about what I was dealing with and some solutions for long term treatments as well as short term treatments. The nurse was just as great. Feeling more optimistic about the future for the first in a while and glad I got a referral to go here.”
