Why Ristra?
Founded in New Mexico, our goal was to help expand healthcare through telehealth for minor illness and injury for those who may be hours from the nearest clinic. Although we can currently only provide care to patients located in New Mexico, we plan to expand care to other states in the future to assist with continued need for access to healthcare.
​
As a small business and small practice, we guarantee that you will get individualized, comprehensive care while also getting continuity in any following visits or follow up that is needed.
