Dr Lopez is an excellent Doctor. However the staff needs an education on how to talk to patients, when someone walks through that door, they are there for a reason, in some sort of discomfort or pain, being kind and polite is usually very helpful. When the staff puts a patient in the room no one ever verifies name or date of birth, I’m Iusually put in a room the door closes, no hello how are you. I was in the medical field all of my career was trained to be polite. This is my experience on every visit to FOI I usual get the same three ladies. I have worked with FOI some years back, I’m not sure how people with such personality and scrubs with food stains are put in such positions. To be honest this usually is a reflection on management!

For conditions such as Carpal Tunnel, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, Thumb Basal joint arthritis surgery, Tennis Elbow, and Rotator Cuff problems, he uses arthroscopic surgery or small incision techniques.
