  • Dr.
    Joshua Elliss, DMD

    During his undergraduate studies at Dixie State College – St. George and Utah State College, Josh Elliss was awarded the Dr. Barnum Research award and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in Biology. Dr. Elliss then attended the University of Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine; he was also an extern at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, where he was exposed to modern cosmetic and occlusion techniques. Upon graduation from UNLV, he was awarded the Quintessence Award for his research during school and the Outstanding Student Award from the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. After schooling, Dr. Ellis practiced in Dallas, Texas, prior to moving his family to New Mexico.

    “Growing up in a small town next to Zion’s National Park in southern Utah, I cultivated a love for outdoors and hiking at an early age. I am grateful to now look out my window every day and see the beautiful Organ Mountains so close by. New Mexico is a unique and diverse place and my family feels at home here.”

  • "I would not have made an appointment if it hadn't been for Amber. I had an appointment with Dr Gorden, who I love, but he was not available. I went anyway earlier last year and had a bad experience with a hygienist. Amber convinced me to come back in and see Miriam and Dr Plue. She promised me that my appointment would go well. I made the appointment and was so happy. Miriam took her time with me, listened to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Plue did the same. I would and have recommended this team to my friends! I'm very happy and comfortable with the office. I will continue to make my dental appointment with these ladies. Very professional with a personal touch.""

  • ""Dreading all the reasons we hesitate to go to the dentist I finally made my appointment and headed in to see Dr. Gordon. I was nervous and scared . knowing I was going to get that terrible injection in the most sensitive part of my mouth.... The front... So, sitting in the dentist chair imagining all the pain . ugh..in came Mel, the dentists assistant. She talked to me made me laugh, I felt a little calmer still nervous. Then in came the " BOSS " Dr. Gordon, 😲 omg. I'm thinking okay to late to get out of the chair now...but...Dr. Gordon assured me no pain as he proceeded to inject the front of my gum. As I gripped my hands I realized , hey no pain. I was so 😌 relaxed. In between the repairs I assured him I'm not going to no other dentist again. This is the BEST dentist I've ever had. In fact I did a little dance on my way back to the front desk to schedule my next appointment. I'm a happy camper. I highly recommend Rio Mimbres Family Dental. Thank you Dr Gordon"
