I recently had a visit with Dr. Lopez and was very impressed with the level of care I received. He was kind, patient, and took the time to listen without ever making me feel rushed during our appointment. He addressed all of my concerns thoroughly and conducted a very detailed and careful exam. I truly felt heard and well cared for throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive physician.

Dr. Lopez was personable; explained to me exactly what to expect relative to my diagnosis and made me feel comfortable about my surgery. I did not have a good experience with his scheduler. She came across rushed and confrontational. I did not have a good experience with her.
