About Us
Rio Grande Family Medicine was founded in 1988 by the late physician Steven D Hsi. Dr. Hsi had always dreamed of becoming a doctor and helping others overcome sickness and stay healthy. He believed that family practice was the best place to help the most people. Although he passed away in 1999, his wife Beth Corbin continued the tradition of a small, patient-centered medical clinic with the help of loyal staff and devoted providers who shared her vision and beliefs.
Dr. Hsi’s struggle with heart disease and his philosophy when practicing medicine is documented in a book he wrote with lauded columnist for the Albuquerque Journal, Jim Belshaw. Closing The Chart was completed with assistance from Ms. Corbin and diary entries written by Dr. Hsi, who passed away before being able to complete his book.
We have celebrated 35 years of serving the greater Albuquerque community and are proud to have cared for generations of families who continue to come to us for their medical needs.

Why choose RGFM?
Rio Grande Family Medicine is excited to help you with your healthcare. Family is central to everything we do! It means treating you and your family as people and not just patients. We believe in talking to a person and not a machine, so we have someone available to answer and return calls. We also do our best to see our patients on time – we know you have busy lives. In that sense we might be old-fashioned, but we are well-versed in modern treatments and standards of care.
Through education, we promote healthy lifestyles. We stress regular checkups and screening. We encourage patients take charge of their health and participate in decisions related to their care.
Because illness and injury can disrupt your life without warning, we do our best to be available when you need us. We reserve same-day appointments for acute issues. Call and see if we are able to help you before making an inconvenient trip to urgent care. We can perform your annual wellness visits and physical exams, as well as manage your long-term conditions and medications.
We look forward to helping you and your family!
