About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Accelerated Wellness and Aesthetics PC (AWA) is a new privately owned family practice and aesthetics clinic in Albuquerque. We provide general ambulatory medical care and aesthetic procedures. We are currently in the process of becoming credentialed with insurance companies so we can bill them. Unfortunately, this process is full of red tape and takes up to nine months. However, we charge a fair price for our services and your current insurance will pay for any ordered labs, imaging, or medications. Currently we charge $100 for new patient visits and $75 for follow up visits. AWA will treat you individually and will not rush you through our clinic. Our new appointments are scheduled for one hour to give patients the opportunity to express all their concerns at the initial encounter. Follow up visits are 30 minutes to assess current treatment progression and identify any new health issues. AWA is here for you.
Our Story
Our story started over 20 years ago after meeting one another at a softball game. Joseph had a dream to become a nurse practitioner and open his own clinic and I had a calling to be a nurse. Three children, momentous struggles and many years of study later we have begun our new chapter as business owners and would like you to call AWA your healthcare home.
Joseph began life in SW Louisiana and became the first of his family to obtain a college degree. Joseph began his journey in health care as a EMT and provided for his family while attending college and grad school. With over 20 years of experience in healthcare Joseph wanted to start a clinic to provide old fashioned healthcare focused on quality and trust rather than the corporate medical model that forces providers to rush patients through like cattle.
Cristina began her life in a small Texas town. She always dreamed of becoming a nurse. After she met Joseph, she was able to make that dream come true. After being a nurse for about 10 years she decided to go back to school and obtain her bachelor's degree. At this time Cristina is helping Joseph to fulfill his dream of owning his own clinic to help all in those in need.
