CMC

Orthopedic Surgeon

I am a board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon at Carlsbad Medical Center, practicing at Pecos Valley Orthopedics, CMC’s affiliated orthopedic clinic. I joined our medical staff in 2024 and have been a part of the hospital’s care team. I earned my medical degree from Jefferson Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to providing services to fill a need here in Carlsbad, I believe in giving back to the community. I participate in CMC’s United Way fundraising efforts and helped make our annual employee giving campaign a success, and I am always willing to help represent the hospital at events such as the Gus Macker Basketball Tournament, and the National Night Out First Responder event. I have also provided hands-on help for CMC’s Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, Winter Coat Drive, EMS and Law Enforcement appreciation event and the Girls’ Night Out event - a fundraiser for Brittany’s Hope, which assists cancer patients in Eddy County with expenses related to their care.

Cavemen Entertain Organ Mt. Knights

By Don Eskins Following a 51-36 loss to the Artesia Bulldogs on January 6 in Artesia, the Cavemen basketball team is probably in a hurry to get back on the floor. The loss snapped CHS’s eight-game winning streak. The good news is they won’t have to wait long. On Friday night, January 9, the Organ Mt. Knights will be in town to test CHS’s resolve, and on Saturday, January 10, the Mayfield Trojans will make their way into the Cavemen Arena. Currently, the Cavemen are 8-4 on the

With information coming at us from every direction—often with conflicting messages—many people are left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to believe. That’s where libraries come in. More than just places to borrow books, libraries play a crucial role in helping people navigate the complex world of information
