"I say Dr Lopez at the Edison office. Staff is very professional and courteous. I was taken to the exam room very close to scheduled time. (which is very unusual) I had x rays taken and will need MRI follow up to determine what course of treatment will be needed. Dr Lopez readily answered any questions I had and left me with confidence in his ability to perform whatever treatment will be necessary."

"Have had previous encounters with Dr. Lopez over the years. Recently went to see him due to a recurring knee issue. Since I hadn't been seen in his office for a few years, I was required to fill out 10 pages of information, including past medical history on the knee. When I finally did get to see him, he did not remember me, nor did he review my history. He did not listen to me when I described my pain. Just gave me a cortisone shot and sent me on my way. I tried telling him that we had performed many procedures on this knee but he didn't listen. Well, the cortisone shot lasted 1 week. I went to another doctor because I was not satisfied with the "Its arthritis & maybe you could lose 20 pounds" diagnosis. Turns out I had a lot of inflammation in my knee which had created a cyst. That was the stabbing pain. If I can help it, I will never see Dr. Lopez again."

"I had the opportunity to see Dr. Lopez for a problem in my arm. I felt like from the minute I walked into the office I was welcomed and all was taken care of efficiently. When Dr. Lopez saw me, he was able to explain what I needed to do to solve the pain in my elbow as well as what to do in the future. I would highly recommend him, as well as his staff-(which is super important to me!) to anyone dealing w an orthopedic Issue. Appt could not have gone any better and my elbow is improving ! Thank you Dr Lopez and staff!"

"A couple of weeks ago, my 97 year old mother fell and suffered a head injury that required a trip to the emergency room. The wound not only required stitches but also caused a minor subdural bleed. In addition, she complained of pain on the left side of her hip, but the initial x rays showed no fractures. Over the next few days, her head wound healed completely, but she was wheelchair-bound as the pain on the left side only grew worse and extended all the way down to her knee and sometimes to the foot. She could not put any weight on it. I took my mother to our orthopedist in the belief that the problem was something like a pinched nerve (my wishful thinking). Upon examining her, Dr. Lopez suspected a fracture and ordered additional x-rays and an MRI. I was kind of skeptical that a fracture had occurred because unlike some of her previous falls, there had been no swelling or black-and-blues in her leg or hip. As expected, my mother was not happy with having to go for additional testing ...
given all the effort and discomfort of having to be lifted from wheelchair to the car, then on to tables, that claustrophobic MRI machine, etc. But, sure enough, the new images showed a fracture that according to Dr. Lopez, who called me right away after being called by the radiologist, required surgery, which she obviously was even less happy about, for she claims to be too old for surgical procedures (she has had a few over the years). After much protestation, I managed to convince her to get the fracture repaired and so she was admitted to the hospital that day and operated on the next day. Dr. Lopez inserted a rod in her femur and a couple of screws and she spent 3 more days in the hospital recuperating. After the anesthesia wore off, she obviously felt some minor discomfort and some pain when she had to move her left leg, but the pain was nowhere near as intense as it had been prior to the surgery. Moreover, just this morning and not quite 5 days after the surgery, my mother took a few steps with the walker, something that neither one of us thought she would be able to do again after learning of a broken hip. And she hasn’t even started physical therapy yet! In sum, Dr. Lopez’ diagnostic and exceptional surgical skill will allow ‘the Energizer Bunny’, as our family calls my mother, to become mobile again in no time. We’re eternally grateful to Dr. Lopez and thank him from the bottom of our heart. "
