From Philly to Española: Dr. Nuñez walks the walk in podiatry

Presbyterian Española Hospital is excited to welcome Dr. Ruben Nuñez, a podiatrist who’s passionate about keeping people moving and helping them stay active. He was drawn to podiatry because it offers the best of both worlds—medicine and surgery. Some patients only need a quick fix, while others need long-term care, and he enjoys the variety that comes with both.

​Dr. Nuñez points out that podiatry is one of the oldest medical specialties, though it has changed a lot over the years. “Many people picture podiatrists just dealing with calluses or ingrown toenails,” he said. “But today, many of us are primarily surgical in our practice. What sets us apart is our foundation in biomechanics and understanding how whole-body conditions can show up in the feet and ankles.”

Dr. Nuñez attended medical school at Temple University in Philadelphia, completed his residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Pennsylvania, and pursued additional microsurgery training at Duke University. His experience includes wound care, trauma, reconstructive surgery and ankle replacements. He works with athletes at New Mexico Highlands University and is also passionate about limb salvage procedures.

For the past three years, Dr. Nuñez has lived and practiced in northern New Mexico, where he feels right at home. He was drawn to Presbyterian Española Hospital by the teamwork among providers and the pride the community takes in its hospital. His approach to care is patient centered.

“I believe that every person has a unique condition and will have a unique recovery. I take time to find the right treatment for the person and sometimes that doesn’t fit into the traditional algorithm. I enjoy taking time to listen to people and learning about the things that make them unique.”

Dr. Nuñez is accepting patients – call 505-367-0340 to make an appointment.
