Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Visit with Dr. Lopez
Dr. Lopez is excellent in all categories. His supporting associates taking me into his examination room, does not display a friendly attitude, they call you to the room and it's doctor will be with you. No smile or look that they want to be there.

I was asked to come in early, I did. I felt my concern and urgency to start correcting the situation was not truly understood. When he left after reviewing my wrist, said had to get swelling down. nurse came in gave me a pink slip and that was it. I was totally confused of next step. She said I had Pt 12.27.2024. I did not. Pt said the RX was wrong. Did not treat.

Dr. Lopez takes care of his patients as if they were family. He is professional and his ethical standards are above reproach. He is a great surgeon, as I work with him in the surgical arena and I am a patient also.
