Established in 2022, with services including injury and fracture care, sports medicine, active lifestyle care, arthritis care, and joint replacement, ABQ Orthopedics is focused on providing high-quality, personalized care to the community. Patients partner with two orthopedic surgeons and a physician assistant to make sure their needs are being addressed. The providers strive for a great patient experience and excellent results.

With the achievement of being board-certified in orthopedic surgery, as well as being fellows of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Dr. Laudicina and Dr. Sacoman have been trained to the highest level in knee, shoulder, and sports medicine. Their team member, Kirk Allman, is a nationally certified physician assistant and an expert on the services offered at ABQ Orthopedics. “Together, we have the knowledge, experience, and commitment to help get our patients back to their sport, work, or active independent lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible,” says Dr. Laudicina.

Though it may seem their roots are completely different (Dr. Sacoman being from New Mexico and Dr. Laudicina from New Jersey) the two met at the University of Colorado in 1999 while working as general surgery interns. The expertly trained doctors and PA Kirk Allman teamed up nearly 13 years ago and have made a perfect trio. With the crucial help of their nationally-certified medical assistants and devoted office staff, they have been able to maintain a successful business.

Nothing keeps them motivated more than seeing patients have the opportunity to live a mobile lifestyle. “Our priority is our patients’ success. We thrive on assisting all ages to recover from injury and disability, return to active lifestyles, and achieve their personal potential,” says Dr. Laudicina. They enjoy setting an example and staying active through cross-training, snowboarding, mountain biking, and in Allman’s case, chasing his grandchildren.

ABQ Orthopedics has plans to expand into a brand new clinic space that will include X-Ray and MRI services. Recently, they have joined forces with an ambulatory surgery center that is located in the same building. “We are proud to be small business owners in a diverse, beautiful state. One of our main goals is to provide care for underserved parts of New Mexico through outreach clinics and partnerships,” says Dr. Sacoman. To say the team at ABQ Orthopedics are excited to be rooted and growing in Albuquerque is an understatement.

Dermatology And Skin Cancer Center Of New Mexico

Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center of New Mexico (DSCCNM) is a premier, state-of-the-art facility for dermatologic treatment, skin cancer detection and treatment, and cosmetic services. In addition to the ability to rapidly diagnose problems, the practice also has on-site surgical care for the convenience of its patients.

DSCCNM has grown immensely since its first launching in 2007, but its vision today is the same as that laid out upon its founding: To provide a steady level of access to quality care to patients with skin problems, supported and facilitated by an experienced administrative and nursing staff.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, affecting more than two million people every year. As one of the largest dermatology practices in the state, DSCCNM does its part to reduce that number while also treating a wide range of other skin disorders.

The office maintains a leading-edge laboratory and skin cancer treatment facility, as well as a variety of exceptional dermatologic services. Specialties range from micrographic skin cancer surgery (Mohs surgery), skin cancer detection and treatment, general dermatology, acne treatment, psoriasis, and treatment of other dermatologic skin disorders.

The DSCCNM team is especially proud of the great service they are able to provide their patients. They can definitively and rapidly treat non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, right at the clinic. Meanwhile, an in-practice Mohs surgeon makes use of a sophisticated tissue-preparation lab to rapidly determine clear margins, allowing patients to leave the office with peace of mind.

Remaining committed to excellence in patient care and quality of service, Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center of New Mexico features independent, board-certified dermatologists including: David Davis, M.D., M.S., FACMS, FAAD; Matthew Thompson, M.D., FAAD; Monica M. Romero, M.D.,
