High Desert Pediatrics is a locally owned pediatric practice serving children and families in New Mexico for more than 15 years. Established in 2009 by pediatrician Dr. Ibuki Suga, the practice emphasizes consistent, personalized care and gives families the option to see the same provider over time. The team also does its best to accommodate same-day appointments.

Its services include newborn care, wellness visits and immunizations, injury care, acute sick visits, behavioral health, and procedures. The website provides new-patient forms, medical-record authorization and power-of-attorney information, insurance guidance, and details about patient costs, helping families prepare for care. Patients can also access a portal and find information about vaccination providers.

The care team includes Dr. Suga, who completed pediatric residency at the University of New Mexico, along with family nurse practitioners Elizabeth Fogel and Desiré Mencheca. Their backgrounds include more than a decade of nursing or healthcare experience, and the practice describes its approach as compassionate and evidence-based.
