One of the most caring Doctors I've had who took his time to review my records and try new options and treatments. Always friendly and their staff have always been friendly too as well as professional. From someone who has to see multiple specialists it's hard to find doctors that really take their time to get to know your situation and do their best to help. It's nice when they talk with you and you don't feel like just another number, and that they genuinely care about your well being which I feel lick to have found Dr. Lopez and his office. I would highly recommend him and

Worst place ever, dr Lopez your office was better be for you got this 2 practitioners. I agreed to get pump because treatment plan was to get pump refueled every 6 months. But y’all refuse do it after I notify both of your practitioners was moving since February. I’m in freaking pain and y’all refuse to do anything bout it. Forget you and this place I got pump in plan November and it’s may. And pump never got refilled if I knew this was going. To happen I would have told you to shove that pump up your self.

So I don't have much experience here, but, the experience I do have is all positive.
So backstory - my back is broken. No worries, just typical Army stuff. I was scheduled to have back surgery, but then Army stuff happened so it got postponed. Then, new MRIs and the Army doc was like DANG BRO! You need surgery bad. So it was scheduled, and then COVID hit; postponed. So then NEW Army doc months later was like SHEESH BRO - you need surgery. I'm over here rolling my eyes like duhhhh. However, he also said look man, you're broke. But you're 38. If I do this surgery now, there

A five-star rating does not do justice to the incredible work done by Dr. Lopez and his staff at WTPI. From the reception, to the assistants, to Dr. Lopez himself, you get nothing but friendly service that makes you feel safe the moment you walk through the doors. Dr. Lopez's passion and love for helping others is unquestionable from the moment he greets you. He is a very kind person and a gem of a physician. He explains things very thoroughly and is very welcoming of questions from the patient and their family. You will leave knowing that he has done, or will do, everything in his power to
