About

Summary: Seeking an endocrinologist in Artesia NM or Carlsbad NM? Artesia General Hospital (AGH) is a nonprofit, multi-site health system with locations in Artesia, Carlsbad, and Roswell, NM. While AGH provides comprehensive services (ER, walk-in clinic, primary care, orthopedics, behavioral health, etc.) and is DNV accredited, the provided details do not confirm a current endocrinologist on staff or Dr. Ferraro specifically at AGH Carlsbad. For endocrine care, contact AGH Carlsbad or AGH Artesia directly to verify availability of an endocrinologist, appointment options, and Dr. Ferraro’s affiliation. Key contacts: (575) 748-3333. If you’d like, I can search for current endocrinology providers at AGH Carlsbad and confirm Dr. Ferraro’s credentials and location.
