Jorge R Lopez, MD

I changed my dr to Dr Lopez, and it was the worst mistake I could’ve done. I had requested medical referrals due to my medical condition, and he said I don’t need them that I could get all my medicine thru him. He didn’t even follow a plan to treat my medical condition which prompted me to be very ill and was admitted in the hospital for a week. It all could’ve been avoided if he would just listen and approve my referrals. On another note he stated I had something when in reality I had a severe allergic reaction to a medicine he prescribe me I found out in the emergency room. STAY AWAY DOESN’T properly diagnosed patients.

Don’t believe the poor reviews. I’ve been going to Dr. Lopez for years and I give him and his staff my maximum endorsement.

My visit with Dr. Lopez started fine until I told him I still breastfeed my baby who is one year and a half. He scolded and ridiculed me when there are enormous amounts of research proving the HUGE benefits of breastfeeding children for as long as possible! The World Health Organization and UNICEF recommend breastfeeding for AT LEAST two years?! He asked me, why and when I was going to start explaining all the scientifically PROVEN benefits of breastfeeding a toddler, he rudely interrupted me saying I only do it because I need it emotionally. I am not easily influenced, but this man will easily discourage a tired, less informed, scared mom who has no other source of information and encouragement in building a wonderful and healthy breastfeeding relationship with her child :/​Never seeing him again, that’s for sure.

Dr Lopez is very straight forward and knows his stuff. I have seen him twice and I completely trust him. I don’t go to him to hear bull. I go there for treatment and that’s what I get. Correct treatment! I highly recommend him. I first went in for a back issue that I have been having for years and he was very helpful. he took the time to print up exercises for me to strengthen my lower back and spent a good 45 minutes physically showing me how to perform them properly.
. next I went in for my knee that was dislocated. gave me an examination drained out the fluid in my knee and gave me a cortisone shot. Good to go. Feel great.

My family and I have been with Dr. Lopez for more than 5 years, but recently, I’m not sure why we’re still here. Both the doctor and staff have dulled in terms of quality of service as well as showing how much they care about their patients.
I went in because I felt pain in my legs. After asking me where I was hurting, the doctor typed into his laptop for several minutes in silence. I wanted to ask questions, but he seemed focused on the screen as if I wasn’t in the room. I wish he would have explained to me what he thought the pain was, how I could treat it, or simply just describe to me WHAT he was typing on that screen.
Basically the whole experience lacked warmth and comfort – two things I’d like in a person who is supposed to help me with the health concerns I’m not as knowledgeable about. Dr. Lopez then finally provided some responses but they were rather curt, making me not feel at ease asking questions because his curt responses made me feel like, «Uh, okay…»
In another visit to Dr. Lopez, I took a blood test. Everyone else has told me that their doctor’s office provides them with a copy of their results without the patient having to ask for it, but with Dr. Lopez’s office, I had to request a copy, which was made available a few days later.
Back then, I would have recommended Dr. Lopez. Now, it seems like the place is forgetting to uphold patient care and respectability. If you have a choice, I say do a bit of research and easily try another doctor.
**Update in Dec. 2015: My cousin who still goes to Dr. Lopez told me she went in for an appointment last week and had to wait 45 minutes to be seen. I felt bad for her because she seemed so frustrated and had to take off of work early which is hard for her job + had to figure out getting her kids takeout for dinner and getting them babysat because she’d be home late. This is not the first time she has complained about waiting a long time to be seen, and this is one of a number of reasons why I myself decided to choose another doctor long ago. Docking another star.

This is the only doctor office that refuses to see you without prepaying your co-​pay. Doctor office said my insurance company required me to prepay.
They measured my height but they instruments were not accurate or I shrunk 2 inches from my last office visit at a different doctor.
Requested a couple of medical referrals to three specialists. Dr Lopez gave me one of the referrals. The other referral he said he would not submit because the medical group would not approve it. The third referral he said he would submit. Followed up with the office and they said my insurance company denied the referral. Called my insurance company to inquire on the denial and they said the doctor office didn’t submit the referral.
After all these issues, called the Dr Lopez office to have my medical records sent to me so I could transfer doctors. They never sent the medical records. Stay away!
Worst doctor experience I have had. The Staff is just as bad.

the staff is cool suzanne and Nancy are the best as for the Doc he really needs to go back to med school. he parades around with a Laptop and has a very stale sense of humor that no one can understand do yourself a favor and go to CEDARS SAINI

Suzanna is very nice and polite.

Dr. Lopez has been my doctor for 10 years. He’s a great doctor with an equally great staff. I give my maximum endorsement without hesitation.
