MCALLEN – The doctor accused of misdiagnosing patients for profit in the Rio Grande Valley went before a federal judge.

On Thursday, the request to release Dr. Jorge Zamora-Quezada was denied.

His attorneys were granted, however, more access to their client.

Zamora-Quezada’s lawyers will be able to take more equipment like computers and a projector, and will also ensure they’re allowed more time with the doctor.

The judge will hear a similar request on Friday for the doctor’s wife, Meisy Zamora.
