"In high school, I was an overnight caregiver for my neighbor who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, and my interest in medicine and helping people was sparked. While at CSBSJU, I worked for a local optometrist, and saw the importance of yearly eye exams. Not only do we take care of ocular diseases, but the eye gives us great insight into systemic diseases as well. Watching people put on their first pair of glasses and being amazed at what they could see was also a great reward."

My favorite part of being an optometrist is helping patients with their visual issues. So many people don’t realize how many things can stem from vision and ocular issues, and being able to offer solutions is very rewarding. I love being able to create a relationship with my patients that lasts for many years.
I enjoy spending time with my family, playing intramural volleyball, traveling with my fiancé, and playing with my great pyrenees puppy Lou."

Excellent doc!
Dr Lopez is great. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for an eye doctor.
Excellent doctor. Professional, yet friendly and makes you feel comfortable.
She was professional and courteous. She was friendly and thorough in her examination after my cataract surgery, and she exhibited a genuine interest in me and my health.
Dr Lopez was very friendly and explained things in an easy to understand way. I did not have to wait very long to be seen.
She was great! I made a call on a Thursday evening about 5 pm. My eye was weird and I was concerned about a retina detachment. She was the Dr. on call and got back to me within 5 minutes or so. She relieved my anxiety and said to follow up the next day, low and behold my appt turned out to be with her. All is good another follow up in a month. Our family has always received good care there!
She's young but she is knowledgeable. I felt she was a little forced but she will get more comfortable with time.
Dr Lopez was kind , courteous, and spoke to my spouse and me in a genuine manner. We immediately liked her! She’s a great addition to the excellent St Paul Eye staff!
Wonderful communicater. Answered all my questions in a caring and understandable way.
Dr. Lopez was great.
