Dr. Chongsiriwatana was born and raised in Albuquerque and attended Amherst College in Massachusetts (with a 6 month semester abroad in Auckland, New Zealand).. She missed New Mexico during her four years away, so returned to Albuquerque for medical school and doesn’t plan on moving away again. She is passionate about working to make sure the people of New Mexico have access to quality gynecologic and obstetric care. Dr. Chong loves to travel, knit and crochet in her spare time. Many of her patients call her Dr. Chong, which some people find easier to pronounce than her six syllable last name.
