I visited Dr. David Lopez in little Silver as a second opinion, even after reading other negative testimonials, but liked his take on the procedure he was going to perform on my knee. Surgery was scheduled, my clearance ALL DONE in 24 hrs. By me... and then after 3 calls to his wife who acts as the surgery coordinator, the call was returned the day before surgery, BUT ONLY TO COLLECT a "copay" of $137 deductible that was already met. I called my insurance company 2 times to confirm, and they even called the office on my behalf. Paola couldn't seem to grasp this, if my family deductible was met my individual one was also met. We exchanged "difference of opinions" as Dr. Lopez put it himself, and they cancelled my surgery, without a call! Not one person from the office called me to tell me, but "wink wink" they all let me know she is the doctors wife. Dr. Lopez was kind enough to call me at 9:30pm AFTER I put a call into his office, to tell me he allowed his wife to cancel a surgery for $137.00 that was paid, and b/c I told his wife, she was not getting the deductible issue and I prefer not to deal with her, but somebody else in the office!! So as I closed it out with Dr. Lopez, if you allow your wife who had a "difference of opinion" with a patient, in this situation run your practice, cancel surgeries, not return calls(after 3 calls!!!), and not even have the courtesy to email, call or have somebody in the office call me back, how professional can the office be. But wait, they called me after I left the first time for my records... I guess another slip up, should have gotten the message then.. When they say something's are meant to be, I thank the man above I did not allow this man to operate on me knee, if his office is ran this way and he allows it, what could he have done to my knee!
