It is bittersweet that we announce that Jeff is retiring! We wish him well in his retirement but we will sure miss him.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement. Caring for you, my patients, has been the most rewarding part of my 20 year career with After Hours Pediatrics.

I have come to know many of my families and their children and consider it an honor that you entrusted them to my care the past 20 years.

I have full confidence that all of my colleagues will continue to provide you with excellent care. It has been a pleasure to practice for After Hours Pediatrics since its early inception and am proud to have been associated with a quality group of providers.

I plan to use this opportunity to care for, and spend time with, my elderly parent and my family.  I also am looking forward to improving my golf game and honing my fishing skills.

Again it has been a gift and pleasure providing for your health care needs of the years.

With best wishes

Jeff McCollum CFNP

Dear After Hours families,

I have made the difficult decision to leave AHP and move to another practice in Albuquerque. It has been a joy to get to know many of your children.  Like my own kids, I know yours have many sides, and I feel honored to have been a part of their care, no matter whether they came into our clinic feeling nervous, happy, hurt, confident, shy, naughty, silly, cranky, or sweet. 

I am moving to another clinic simply because it’s the best decision for me and my family at this time. I will miss my patients here, but I feel reassured knowing that my excellent colleagues at AHP will continue to provide compassionate and evidence-based care for everyone who comes in. I know also that AHP leadership genuinely values each child, teen, and family in our community, so your kids are in good hands.

Starting in late fall, you can find me at the Presbyterian clinic located at 401 San Mateo Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. If you would like to remain at AHP, Kristin Meredick, MD and Jennifer Mack, NP will have availability starting in August to care for your child.

Sincerely,

Maria Hamilton, MD

Estimadas familias de After Hours,

He tomado la difícil decisión de dejar AHP y mudarme a otra clínica en Albuquerque. Ha sido un placer conocer a muchos de sus hijos. Al igual que mis propios hijos, sé que los suyos tienen muchos lados, y me siento honrada de haber formado parte de su cuidado, sin importar si llegaron a nuestra clínica sintiéndose nerviosos, felices, heridos, seguros de sí mismos, tímidos, graciosos, traviesos,, malhumorados o cariñosos.

Me mudo a otra clínica simplemente porque es la mejor decisión para mí y mi familia en este momento. Extrañaré a mis pacientes, pero me siento tranquila al saber que mis excelentes colegas de AHP continuarán brindando atención compasiva y basada en evidencia a todos los que acudan. También sé que el liderazgo de AHP valora genuinamente a cada niño, adolescente y familia de nuestra comunidad, por lo que sus hijos están en buenas manos.

A partir de finales del otoño, podran encontrarme en la clínica Presbyterian ubicada en 401 San Mateo Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108. Si desea permanecer con AHP, Kristin Meredick, MD y Jennifer Mack, NP  tendrán disponibilidad a partir de agosto para el cuidado de su hijo/a.

Atentamente,

Maria Hamilton, MD

 CHANGES TO APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING:

To better care for our patients who utilize us for primary care (well-child visits), at times, we will need to restrict access for patients who do not see us for primary care. During those times, if your child’s primary care physician is not at AHP then we strongly encourage you to call their office for your acute care needs.
