I was disturbed that all my efforts led to nothing and asked to see the doctor. Unfortunately, he is one of those physicians who presumes his medical degree also confers upon him a god-like status.

Also, I am in a moderate amount of pain, my body is producing this, not Dr. Snoy. I do not have faith in Dr. Snoy; his competence, compassion and knowledge are what I am reviewing. I had a procedure that was elective, Dr. Snoy did not apply enough local anesthetic and i felt the first steps of his procedure. His level of basic human compassion is 1-2 out of 10. His low energy demeanor, lack of interest in answering relevant medical questions (related to procedure) and providing adequate info on what to expect overall (overall healing timeline, physical sensation/pain, the fact that i have stitches but didn't know for the first few days) what you are currently feeling (physically). He showed no concern for any of these items and did not answer any direct questions competently and instead made remarks in generality. His level of compassion towards me was non-existent; his level of coherence was so poor that if you asked me under oath if i thought he was high during my interactions with him, I would have to honestly reply, I don't know. The fact that his initial info was wrong, i was told there would be relatively little pain. I've been struggling with pain all week and its taxing to be in a situation where you cannot concentrate because of pain. His general inability to answer a specific questions like what can i expect over the next few days or is swelling normal? His staff are decent people and I have no complaints with them. I'm moving all further inquiries and treatment to my general care practitioner, I do have doubts about Dr. Snoy's ability to have performed my procedure correctly, he broke my trust several times and this procedure was personal to me. I booked my appointment with what i thought was a professional, and left my 7-day follow up with only one thing on my mind, get a 2nd opinion. Here is where I take a personal dig: Take your 12-week follow up and GO F*CK YOURSELF

I…read moreremember nearly 9 years ago when my wife was pregnant with out first, and this poor excuse for a person repeatedly pushed us to get an abortion despite being adamant we wanted to keep our child. Time and again she would remind us and try to push us in that direction; she truly seemed to want us to get one. I couldn't figure out why an OBGYN would seem so pushy until I found out later on that at the time she was one of the leading abortion docs.

She wrote in my chart that I am an opioid addict and that she prescribed narcan (both of which are lies, and I am currently in contact with my PCP as well as waiting for calls back from every single board in New Mexico about Lauren. Not only have I ever taken an opioid pill (not even for my wisdom tooth removal), I told her straight out that I didn't want pills. She offered me ganglion shots or nothing, and then openly bold face lied about my drug usage. She also wrote that I have "treatment resistant anxiety" which is not true, I see multiple therapists weekly for my C/PTSD and anxiety, and if she were to actually read my chart then she would see that I have and always have had (since I've been going to my regular PCP at 9) a high heart rate with slightly elevated I would avoid Lauren at all costs, and that goes doubly for anyone who is immunocompromised; she refuses to mask and thinks she knows disabilities better than the people who have them. I would give her zero stars if I could. Absolutely the worst care I have ever received in my life. Before covid-19 killed my Mom and disabled me, she told me to never go to Lovelace because it was the worst hospital she'd ever been to. I should've listened, because not only was this a waste of time, but Lauren will be vindictive and lie openly about you in your chart. I will be taking drug tests to prove to my doctor that I take my gabapentin (for shingles post-herpetic neuropathy) as prescribed and the same with my Flexeril, both of which he was happy to prescribe me because this has been an ongoing issue since my first two covid infects in 2020. (Jan 2020 and then Oct. 2020). Lauren will make sure you don't get any care and she will do so gleefully.

I had to explain to them what they did was a HIPAA violation. The triage nurse put the completely wrong reason I was there (unbeknownst to me at the time) which put me at the bottom of the list to be seen so I had to wait for hours and hours. I think they put the other person's triage info in my chart. The discharge papers listed the completely WRONG reason I was there so the discharge advice was also wrong!

My surgery for breast cancer at Lovelace Hospital conducted by Dr Ridgeway was surrounded by Fraud,…read moreWaste. Abuse ad discrimination. I was diagnosed with a small breast cancer and I sought what I thought was the best doctor for this type of cancer and the best hospital for it. Dr. Ridgeway turned out to be the worst. He never asked me how I felt after the surgery I never even spoke to him until his office called me for a telephone discussion 5 months later. His discussion was about how quiet the office and building was due to furloughs of personnel. He talked about what would happen when patients returned and there would be a lack of personnel to assist in treatment. He never asked me how my surgery went, or how I was feeling. He never spoke to me prior to the surgery of what h e was going to do or what I could expect, nothing! He finally reminded himself that he needed to schedule a mammogram and followup He scheduled the mammogram for November 2020 and a review for December 2020. I had my surgery in Jan 2020. I asked him what he did to me since I could not fit into a Bra,all he did was laugh for 3-4 minutes and never answered me. In August 2020 I received a call from his office informing me that Dr. Ridgeway scheduled me for a mammogram to be conducted in 2 days. After the mammogram I asked the radiologist if he noticed any reconstruction and he responded NO. Dr. Ridgeway he removed half of my breast and the good one he spread the tissue until the flatness matched the one he removed tissue from. He has no reason to touch the good breast. The radiologist placed a picture of 2 fried eggs sunny side up and told me this is what my breast now look like. I will need reconstruction of my breast. I asked the Dr Ridgeway why did he do this he remarked why should I be upset with his action. To make this story short Dr. Ridgeway charged my insurance $82,000 for unnecessary mutilation and scarring of my left breast and a sloppy surgery to my right breast. I don't understand why he is still at Lovelace, or any where else. This Doctor is half blind. This whole situation if so bad that even another doctor advised me not to return to that clinic for anything.
