A journey fueled by passion for patient care
Dr. Lopez's journey in the medical field began with a focus on understanding the needs of others and how his skillset can help. He embarked on his medical career with a deeply rooted desire to alleviate physical discomfort and optimize his patients' quality of life. This passion led him to rigorous training at prestigious institutions like Harvard Medical School and the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, where he studied and worked along top pain physicians from around the world.
Helping you understand pain management care
Dr. Lopez knows that pain management can be a confusing process. Perhaps you've talked with other pain physicians before and came away feeling confused, or perhaps you've tried working with another pain management physician and left with a bad experience. Our practice is here to help you gain the knowledge and tools necessary to take control of your therapy and begin living a life without pain, and we'll work with you to make sure you get the care you need. Each patient gets a customized pain management program tailored to their specific needs, and Dr. Lopez and our staff work to give you the understanding behind why choices about your health are being made and how you can get the most out of your pain management therapy.
Harvard-trained and double board-certified
Dr. Lopez's quest for excellence took him to the hallowed halls of Harvard Medical School, where he completed an intense residency program in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Following this, he further honed his skills through a fellowship in pain medicine under the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center. The extensive training at these esteemed institutions has equipped him with the knowledge and skills to handle complex pain management cases with precision and confidence.
Bilingual and culturally sensitive care
As a bilingual physician, Dr. Lopez is able to cater to a broad spectrum of patients. His ability to converse fluently in English and Spanish not only breaks down language barriers but also facilitates open and clear communication, ensuring that patients feel heard, understood, and comfortable throughout their treatment journey.
A unique blend of medical and legal knowledge
In addition to being a highly skilled pain physician, Dr. Lopez also holds a law degree, having completed a dual Medicine and Law program (M.D./J.D.) at the University of Puerto Rico. This unique combination of medical and legal knowledge gives him a distinct edge, allowing him to navigate the intricate landscapes of healthcare regulations and patient rights with ease.
Backed by a strong foundation
Before embarking on his medical journey, Dr. Lopez laid a strong foundation with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan. This scientific background, coupled with his comprehensive medical training, empowers him to approach patient care from a holistic perspective that encompasses both the physical and psychological aspects of pain.
