It was the best service I have experienced. He took their time. They made sure my child was calm and comfortable with everything they were doing and a doctor was so patient with her. It was absolutely amazing.

Dr Lopez and Amber are the best!! I cannot recommend them enough. My favorite thing about Dr Lopez is that he taught us how to prevent styes. He isn?t just interested in treating them. We saw other doctors for this issue and it seems like all they care about is money and doing surgery. Dr Lopez went the extra mile and thought of things I didn?t even consider and gave us advice

Dr. Lopez was very attentive and very informative in his answers and explanations. Dr. Lopez was very good with my son and daughter in entertaining them while he did his eye exams. We would recommend Dr. Lopez to anyone their child's eyes assessed.

We showed up and learned that our appointment had been changed and we weren't aware of it. Dr. Lopez worked my child in and was wonderful with him. We really appreciated it.

Everyone did a great job checking out my son’s eyes and confirmed my suspicions of lazy eyes. I appreciate the advice and will be coming back in a year.

The provider didn't, when he was speaking, did not first address the child and give the child a chance to answer questions and provide feedback directly to the doctor first before he turned and addressed questions and discussions to the parents. I believe he should have addressed the child first and then sought supplemental information from the parents second.

Dr Lopez came in with a lot of positive energy and introduced himself to everyone in the room. He made the exam quick and easy for my daughter. He thoroughly explained all of our options for treatment to my husband and I, and was supportive of our choice. He didn't push surgery as sometimes people worry surgeons will do and instead advised us against surgery at this time while still giving us a good treatment plan.

Awesome

It’s not exactly easy taking an 18 month old to have their eyes checked, but they definitely helped accommodate their needs as much as they could. They were more concerned about keeping my child happy/comfortable, than the amount of time it took to complete their tasks. They weren’t worried about rushing the process they needed to check everything. It makes a world of difference to the parents when they see the providers actually care about the kids well being from the first interaction they have. They understand the situation isn’t ideal, but they do everything possible to make it just a little easier especially for the kids.

Yeah, amazing provider. My wife and my daughter, like, you know, really felt so comfortable. I felt he's so professional, so kind, so nice. My wife came back with a very good feedback, very positive feedback about him. I give him 10 out of 10.
