We are keeping our office open to make sure our patients with infection, injuries and pain are cared for in our clean, uncrowded office instead of having to go to an Urgent Care or ER where they run the risk of being exposed to COVID-19.

On-Call

Albuquerque Associated Podiatrists Blog On-Call
Our podiatrists offer 24/7 emergent services to various hospitals in Albuquerque including Lovelace, Presbyterian, and Rust. Feel free to call the clinic at (505)247-4164 and ask to speak with the on-call podiatrist. The receptionist or after-hour service will send a message to the on-call podiatrist. We will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible. We are often formally on-call at Presbyterian and Rust, and will do our best to provide emergent surgical services for all facilities. We also offer a wound care clinic for chronic and acute podiatry problems.
 
If you need an urgent appointment, call our office during office hours (505-247-4164). We will do our very best to offer same day or next-day appointments.
