April Dawn Mcgeorge

TLDR: April McGeorge refused to treat me because I asked for my bloodwork to be done by a 3rd party. As patients we make ourselves extremely vulnerable to the physicians who treat us. Today I walked into Monte Bello Medical hoping (praying) that this doctor could finally help me feel better after 10 years of being mistreated in the medical industry. To say the least I left feeling betrayed, hurt and worthless. Hopefully this review will help others find someone else, someone they can trust. I went to Monte Bello Medical in Las cruces this morning as a new PCP patient. I had previously been to their office for urgent care. I spent 30 minutes working with the nurse to establish all existing health related issues: hypothyroidism, brain cyst, severe headaches and provided all past tests confirming these issues. April McGreorge NP entered the office and stated I need blood work done. I requested the orders be sent to Quest Diagnostics. She inquired as to why and I told her it was too… difficult to retrieve my test results in the portal if I have the blood drawn elsewhere. She explained I would not receive my results until she gave them to me. I attempted to say no and explain why that would not work when she shoved my past test results at me and said 'then I will not be your doctor'. This is not only rude but extremely negligent. Her refusal to treat can and will cause my health to continue to deteriorate. Worst part still is my fear of doctors has only worsened and I may never seek help again.
