In patients' words
""He treated my mom when she was admitted to the hospital & he was amazing! He was very thorough, spent quality time & explained everything & ensured understanding of the condition. Followed up closely & very grateful for his excellent patient care! Need more Dr.’s like him definitely.""
— WebMD patient review for Dr. Leonardo Lopez (Raton, NM)""If I could leave less than one star, I would. She is incompetent and should not be allowed to work in emergency medicine. I am emergency medicine trained and know a quack when I see one.""
— WebMD patient review for Dr. Elizabeth Newman (Raton, NM)""Dr. Conder asked me if the Drs. had told me this is psychosomatic... She had me so upset, I was bawling... which was totally misquoted in my ED records.""
