This Doctor is discussing a proposed Medicare fee schedule change for 2027 that will no longer cover a same day procedure. What this would look like in our clinic if the change is approved is if you present with profound foot drop and back pain and need an urgent epidural and our schedule could accommodate a same day procedure we would not be able to offer it. If you have extreme neck pain we will not be able to offer trigger points that visit. We will have to schedule you out and have you come back. Please be aware that starting next year this might be the case. We will keep you all posted if this change goes into effect.

We regret to inform you that we are currently addressing a plumbing emergency.
If you are scheduled for an in-office appointment, please expect a call from our staff to reschedule. During this time, we will continue to offer telemedicine appointments.
If you are unable to wait for a procedure, please speak with a member of our team, and we will do our best to assist with scheduling through one of our trusted colleagues at an outside facility.
We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as our staff works diligently to ensure that each patient is cared for. Please be assured that we are working closely with property management, along with a team of plumbers and repair professionals, to identify the source of the issue, ensure a proper repair, and reopen our office as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We will keep everyone informed with updates as they become available.

It truly takes a village to provide the level of care our patients deserve. To show our appreciation for both the team members you work with every day and those behind the scenes, we spent some time this weekend making candles together at Enchanted Wik in Old Town.
As a reminder, Bonie the Homie would like to share our holiday schedule. Our office will be closed from December 24th through the 26th, and from January 31st through the 1st. Wishing you all a restful and happy holiday season!

Since 2021, New Mexico has lost a significant number of physicians due to some of the highest malpractice insurance rates in the U.S. combined with high taxes and low reimbursement rates.
This weekend, Dr. Raiten met with bipartisan lawmakers to push for real change, change that would help make New Mexico a place where doctors want to work and stay.
Long wait times and delayed care are affecting patients across the state. We are at a pivotal moment for healthcare in New Mexico.
We are proud of Dr. Raiten, the New Mexico Medical Society, and all the physicians and legislators who stepped up to prioritize this issue. While many lawmakers are pushing for change, others are not, which is why continued advocacy is essential.
The fight isn’t over, but we’re committed to seeing it through.

Sometimes we get the pleasure of meeting new furry friends at IPA. This beautiful baby works hard along side Dr. Raiten to make sure her momma is well taken care of. What a well trained service dog!

We’re pleased to offer a new procedure now approved by Medicare—the iFuse system—for patients suffering from chronic SI joint pain. This minimally invasive treatment, performed by Dr. Raiten, is intended to provide lasting relief for many individuals who previously struggled to find an effective solution.
The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, and most patients are able to walk the same day. Recovery is typically quick, with noticeable improvement often reported within just a few days.
Unlike temporary treatments like steroid injections or ablations, iFuse is designed for long-term pain relief.
If chronic SI joint pain has been affecting your daily activities, we encourage you to speak with one of our providers to see if iFuse may be right for you.
