After 33½ years of dedicated service, we celebrate the retirement of Debbie. This milestone marks not just time served, but a profound impact on patients, colleagues, and our community. From day one, Debbie demonstrated compassionate care, a listening ear, and support for Dr. Evans and our other providers. She has contributed to helping thousands of patients return to their daily lives, while also reflecting the "patient first" culture and values of our organization. Patients remember Debbie as someone who truly cared, reflected kindness, concern, and reassurance during some of their most difficult times. As we honor her remarkable career, we express our deepest gratitude for the example she leaves, and we all must demonstrate. As Debbie embarks on this well-earned retirement, we wish her joy, adventure, and quality time with family and friends. Her legacy will continue to inspire future generations of caregivers. Thank you for your unmatched dedication and heart. At LSO Orthopaedic & Spine, we are blessed and thankful to Debbie for the last 33 1/2 years.

Former New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) Hall of Famer & offensive lineman, Dr. Von Evans, and Lone Star Orthopaedic gifted the 2025 NMHU OFFENSIVE LINE with some pro-level knee braces! Lone Star Orthopaedic made a donation of pro-level knee braces to the New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) 2025 Offensive Line. Dr. Evans knew how much these specially designed knee braces would help the offensive line stay protected, powerful, and ready for every snap. Keeping the linemen's knees healthy is a part of a winning strategy. Let's go, Cowboys and Cowgirls!

Tabby was experiencing pain in her shoulder, which is very common for women her age. She and Dr. Patel began to work together to find a solution to her growing concern about her shoulder. Dr. Patel performed a total shoulder replacement for Tabby on August 7, 2025, and these are the results less than a month later. Tabby's story is proof that you do not need to live in pain, but you can return to doing the things you enjoy.

Your safety is our top priority at Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine. We partner with our patients in every step of their journey back to an active lifestyle. Here are three ways, as a patient, you can engage with our medical team to ensure you remain active in your treatment plan and help us keep you safe.

1. Speak Up and Ask Questions
We provide guidance to every patient with care and clear direction throughout each stage of their care. We always use terms that are easy to understand and prioritize what is best for you as a patient. Please ask if you have any questions or uncertainties about your treatment.

* Write down questions before your appointment and bring a notebook or use your phone to take notes during the visit.

2. Share Accurate, Complete Information
Ensure our medical team gives you the safest care possible by providing:
• A current list of medications, including supplements, along with any past reactions.
• A current list of allergies.
• Any recent changes in your health (e.g., new symptoms, illnesses, or injuries)

* Keep an updated medication list in your wallet or phone, so you always have it—even in emergencies.

3. Follow Your Treatment Plan and Report Changes
Lone Star Orthopaedic & Spine combines our expertise with our patients' unique needs and goals to deliver a customized treatment plan. Stick to it, attend follow-ups, and tell us if anything feels off. Communicating early on can prevent setbacks and ensure faster recovery and return to an active lifestyle.

* Set reminders on your phone for your exercises and medications. Contact your care team if something feels off or not quite right.

In closing, we are committed to creating a safe environment where every patient feels heard at LSO Orthopaedic and Spine. Again, we encourage you to ask questions, share information, and engage with your care by following your treatment plan and reporting any changes to our medical team. Together, we can enhance safety, speed recovery, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
