Dr. April Lou Blue, MD

She's considerate, knowledgeable, and compassionate. To me, those are all the traits of an outstanding physician. The biggest problem is reaching any doctor directly in the for-profit organization. I've been treated by its doctors for about 10 years and have never been able to reach any physician or their office when I call for them.

average wait is 1hr past appointment time, never less then 45mins, even with early morning appointments. waited about an hour and a half once just to get blood drawn, and the person doing it couldnt find the vain. after about a dozen stabs in both arms i told her to stop and get someone else. the next person got it in 1 try. i was told the 1st person was in training. also the lady that you see after the doctor to make your next appointment is beyond rude and totally miserable. i understand people can have a bad day, but in over 20 visits she has been the same miserable person she is everytime. she also makes your appointment for you, without ever asking when is good for the patient. you walk up to the window, say hello, tell her the doctor wants to see you for a follow up. she never looks up, or acts if your even there. she looks annoyed, writes a date and time on a card, and hands it to you. if you ask her to change it, she gets even more annoyed. if i didnt like the actual doctor,… i'd go some where else in a heart beat (still might). some where not affilated with carolina health care.

The last visit I waited an hour in the Examining Room - no one let me know what the delay was. I eventually left without rescheduling an appt. There is more but I will not discuss it.

Dr. Blue has been my primary care physician for three or four years. She is a caring physician who answers any questions I might have as well as providing excellent diagnostic service and follows up for me. And after 64 years of life, I have been treated by a number of doctors so I have a good base upon which to base my evaluation.

spends only a few minutes and will not speak personally on phone with poor test results...

Absolutely excellent service and care....and she i great to look at as well!!!
