Dr. Eric J Freeh arrived from Phoenix in 1996 to join The New Mexico Bone and Joint Institute. He is a Board Certified orthopedic surgeon, with subspecialty fellowship training in trauma and fracture care. He has achieved national recognition as a true expert in the field. As a faculty member of the International Trauma Society, the AO Foundation (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen), you can always count on Dr. Freeh's understanding of the most current treatment options available in the world today. Right here in Alamogordo, you can truly expect world-class care!
Dr. Freeh actually assisted in the training process of Dr. Dodson, the founding member of Alamogordo Orthopedics. They spent time together in Phoenix while Dr. Dodson was in medical school. They were both more than ecstatic to renew their friendship as peers when Dr. Freeh relocated to Alamogordo from his very successful practice in Arizona. His experience in Phoenix was invaluable as a member of the orthopedic group that took care of the Phoenix Suns, a spring training camp for the Oakland A’s and the Seattle Mariners, as well as many local high schools and colleges.
Along with his highly regarded fracture care treatment, Dr. Freeh also enjoys many other aspects of orthopedic surgery including sports medicine. He also performs arthroscopy of the knee and has a special interest in hand and upper extremities surgery, frequently taking care of such problems as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, ganglion cysts, arthritis, meniscal tears, and ligamentous injuries.
Dr. Freeh is one of the founding members of the Southern New Mexico Surgery Center, a two-time winner of the APEX Quality Award from CTQ solutions. His professional ratings from patients are quite exemplary. Dr. Freeh is known in the area as a surgeon that takes time to listen. He then creates an orthopedic game plan with the patient that strives to achieve rapid healing and return to routine activities such as sports, hobbies, and occupation.
For those that don’t know, Dr. Freeh is an excellent musician, playing several stringed instruments such as guitar, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele. He has truly enjoyed passing on that love to his children. His knowledge base on antique cars is also impressive, and in addition to knowing about cars, he enjoys his hobby of fixing up and rebuilding cars of many types. This is also a great source of “family time” for him.

Clear and professional.
Dr. Freeh is professional, understanding, and adds a touch of humor to an otherwise painful situation. Thank you.
Very informative and gives you a lot of options on the way to chose treatment that works.
My appointments have been on time, thorough and efficient, and full of light-hearted banter. Highly recommend.
He is amazing by far a breath of fresh air he is kind and knowledgeable and really listens and the comment I made to my mother as I left the appointment is “ I really like him, he’s one of the first drs I have been to that acts like he loves his work” and just his attitude as a whole is super welcoming. You just don’t see that much anymore and it is very appreciated!
Excellent experience. Dr and assistant were very funny which I appreciate. They were professional in every way, and very efficient. My appointment started exactly on time, and the meds and care prescribed are working thus far.
Loved him. My knee feels much better!
