Cancer Center For Women

Our clinic was founded by Dr. Luis A. Padilla Paz, New Mexico’s longest practicing and renowned gynecology oncologist from the New Mexico and El Paso area since 2001.

“We strive to maintain a culture of excellence by delivering to our patients the most scientifically up-to-date, timely, and compassionate care possible in an oncology multi-specialty setting involving both surgical and medical oncology care.”
- Dr. Padilla

Hear From Our Patients

ANYA T.

I’m so grateful that I was referred to Dr. Padilla-Paz.  He is a brilliant and compassionate doctor who constantly keeps up with all of the latest science in oncology.  I was also blessed to have my chemotherapy from Marci RN and her wonderful colleagues.  She is so skilled, so caring and they are meticulous about making sure that everything is 100% correctly done.  Having cancer is not easy, but Dr. Padilla and Marci helped me so much to get through it.  Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

ANNA V.

Being diagnosed with cancer was scary in itself, especially not knowing what the next steps would be.  However, my experience at Women’s Cancer and Surgical Care eased that uncertainty because the care I received was second to none.  They were attentive while also being empathetic to a situation we have not experienced in our family.  The Chemo Suite was very welcoming, comfortable, and I was able to have a child join me during my treatment, where they were also welcomed by the Chemo Suite team.  Having my treatment at the Women’s Cancer and Surgical Care was amazing and I truly felt taken care of throughout my journey towards healing.

JENNIFER E.

The excellent nurses and team in the chemo suite have an abundance of strength, knowledge, compassion and kindness.  All of these qualities bring a light and warmth to a difficult and scary journey.  Thank you Marci, Amy and Oly – I am forever grateful.
