Dr. Frances Louise Chavez, MD

She was Mine and My Mom's doctor in Santa Fe ... she was kind, understanding and very Thorough .... we miss her The Nieto's

Dr. Chavez was our family's primary care doctor for 10 years in Santa Fe NM. We miss her broad professional expertise and especially her personal attention. We highly recommend Dr Chavez

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER ONE OF THE BEST DOCTOR'S I HAVE EVER CONSULTED!

Great doctor. I couldn't ask for better care. I am going to miss you

My parents received a statement from Dr.Chavez's office yesterday. So they went to the office for the statement to be explain to them. The girl that was explaining the balance but they were getting fustrated.Because for the meanwhile, my parents said that they were having trouble listening to the girl explaining the balance.They were glad that the girl took the time to research and explain to them.But they were losing their patients with the child talking over them. The other girl did tell the child to be quite but the child just didn't listen. My mother said that she left out of the office because she just couldn't take that child interruptions.Left my dad in the office speaking to the girl. My parent weren't there to not pay the balance they were there so it could be explain and pay the balance. The fustration was the child interruptions.My parents also said that the office where the girls were was a mess.Something that they hadn't seen before.My parents were glad to pay the balance off and that it was explain to them to where they understood. When they called me upset- I really thought it was a problem because they never complained before about this office or upset.I really think that this matter should be taken up by manager. A friend from work gave me this site to place this complain. Wasn't aware of this site.Thanks to coworker Hope Dr.Chavez's office manager view this complain.

Dr.Chavez is a great doctor. She spends time with you and takes her time with you to explain things with you. Which that is great. The problem is the receptionist is not as friendly as she seems. She can be rude on the phone. No care or really wants to hear your problem.If a patient calls its because we need the doctor to know and give us a advise.For example, to got to the Urgent Care, ER, walk in, or Set appointment.There has been a problem in the office--Can't count on the receptionist to do anything for you because you need to keep calling her.You need to push her to get it done. The doctor is probably not aware how bad it is. The dress code -- The receptionist has some nasty looking scrubs.They look dirty. This receptionist doesn't call to remind you of your appointment. This office needs a better receptionist that will represent the office as a friendly and professional dress.(Ironing & Starch)The Nurses has been unprofessional.The visits were a experience that is not to forget the nurse. One nurse was very quite,unfriendly,that made you uncomfortable(still there)and then the older nurse(slim)- poor lady-she didnt know anything about nursing. These nurses don't call you back,can't answer any questions,Believe me its very uncomfortable..Just was in for a visit not to long ago and this nurse is the most unfriendly person. Makes you feel so uncomfortable that you dont want to ask anything.Dr Chavez needs to make some big changes to make this office a great staff and acompany her to provide great service to the patients.

I have been taking my family to Dr. Chavez for several years and I love her. She pays attention to me when I am in the exam room and answers all my questions. When ever I need something the receptionist that has been there for a long time is pretty good at getting back to me. The new girl up front is very nice as well. I don't care much for her new nurse though, she is very hard to get a hold of. Sometimes getting a call back can take a little while but I think people need to understand that neither the receptionists or the nurse have a medical licence. It would be very irresponsible and dangerous if anything is done without Dr. Chavez's approval. I don't mind waiting if I know my questions are going to be answered from the doctor. I think they are doing a great job.

Dr.Chavez is wonderful but the lack of the office is the receptionist and the nurse that always very poor. Dr. Chavez needs to polish that up and then her office would be wonderful. At this time, why I'm looking for another Doctor because receptionist has been there for a couple of years and not very caring nor keep up with our paperwork in a timely manner. You need to call the receptionist to tell her to get it down. While you wait for a test to be done. There is a babysitting service / medical office also. Which that concerns me if the Doctor is really attenting to my problems while the child is running or pushing keyboards. Nurse could be talking to me and the child is asking questions. While the nurse is trying to attent to me. This is very unprofessional.The child also is sitting on the front counter while the receptionist is trying to talk to me to set appointment and we have to stop because child is talking. So it takes longer to set appointment. Then to reach to get the appointment card the receptionist need to go around the child to hand you the appointment card. This is not a good professional office. Are things really being done right with a child in between the office staff and nurse area?Daycare is something that should be consider!!!Children shouldn't be in a work area.Give patients the attention that is needed instead of a child that is just hanging out in the office. Look up daycare centers in the phone book.Help Dr.Chavez for your office could be better.

Dr. Chavez is a doctor I would highly recommend. She has an outstanding bedside manner, she's friendly and always makes me feel like I am the only one in the building when she comes into the exam room. She's not rushed because there's patients in every exam room - she's mindful and completely focused on me. She also has a easy, non-clinical way about her - she asks questions, engages in friendly conversation and you know it's genuine. She rocks!

Dr. Chavez is a great Dr., when you can get in to see her. She will take her time and listen to all your concerns which makes the wait not too bad. However her Front staff is horrible, they are rude and inconsiderate. They are constantly "rescheduling" appointments, will state they will call you back when you actually have to end up calling them, again. I'm sorry, but if I can't get in to see my dr, what is the point of going there. I will be changing dr's and it is because of the STAFF not Dr. Chavez.

I love Dr. Chavez. She is a great doctor. Sometimes the wait can be a little long but once you get in it is understandable, she spends as much time she can addressing any problems and answering questions. I love her staff. The girl up front is professional and very nice. I have noticed a turnover with her nurses which I don't understand, but I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor.

Dr. Chavez is quite professional in her beside manner and knowledge of diagnosing illnesses and making the appropriate referrals to specialist when necessary. She has been my doctor since 2007 and I think she is an excellent practictioner who goes the extra mile. I would refer her to anyone who is looking for a competent primary care physician.

Dr. Frances Chavez initially appears to be a good doctor but dont be fooled! There are many excellent doctors out there and Frances Chavez is certainly not one of them. She is unprofessional, moody, & unreliable to say the least. She cant even retain her staff because of how difficult she is with even them. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor who actually is worth the high cost of healthcare!

Dr. Frances Chavez is a really good doctor who we enjoy going too. However her staff is a huge downfall to her practice and hopefully Dr. Chavez will soon realize she needs a better team to support her and her work. Her last nurse was very poor at helping patients and was combative. We were happy to see she was replaced, but the new nurse Dr. Chavez now has on staff isn't much better. The new nurse simply offers extremely poor service to patients, is horrible at following up, and doesn't know to resolve any issues. The receptionist can be helpful at times, but overall is not efficient and poor at being Dr. Chavez' first representation of the practice. Once Dr. Chavez is not present, you can't have confidence you're going to be taken care of by her staff. It's difficult to get an appointment and once you do, you are kept waiting for too long of a time. If Dr. Chavez would correct these fundamental things, she would be unstoppable.

Dr. Chaves is a nice person, but as a Doctor she is very hard to get ahold of. When needing an appointment it is very hard to been seen, Doctor is either always off, or out of town. I am very unpleased with the services that I have recieved. I never get calls back when told. very unreliable.

I miss having Dr. Chavez as our Family Physician in California. I have not found a doctor since who is both as competent and as caring as Dr. Chavez.
