Dan Otero, CEO of HMSAccording to a group of former physicians at HMS, when Dan Otero started as CEO, HMS had 17 medical doctors, including a psychiatrist, and 12 nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Now HMS only has 6 providers, plus one on the way when it used to have 29.*
They go on to state, “It wasn’t Covid; it was the malignant workplace culture created by Otero that made us quit. HMS is shrinking while other local practices are growing. This is while he’s making $270,000 a year. The annual reporting system that shows the quality of health care measures shows HMS has fallen behind NM and national averages.”
