Letter regarding our practice closure..

This is the office of Axel Zagler-Luna, MD

Dear Patients:

It is with mixed emotions I am writing this letter to inform you that on May 31, 2024 I will be closing my practice. I will be unable to continue with your care or renew your prescriptions afterthat date. This has not been an easy decision, as caring for my patients has been an honor and a great source of personal satisfaction.

The practice will be closing because I will be relocating to another state.

I suggest you find another cardiologist as soon as possible.
Some available options are:

1-Southwest Cardiovascular Center:(575)5220300
2-Mountainview Cardiology :(575)522-2233
3-Three Crosses Cardiology :1 800-421-8274
4-New Mexico Cardiac Care: [575)521-3270

If you choose to not see any of the physicians listed above, you can also consult your primary care physician or the New Mexico Medical Society. If you have an emergency at any point during this transition, you should go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.

Patients with appointments until May 31, 2024 will be seen unless you cancel that visit. If you're canceling your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. We will only see patientswith appointments up to May 31, 2034.
