Yes, just once. In fact, I left Premier Medical because of him.
I had pulled a muscle in my back and nursed it myself for 2 weeks. It was not improving so I made an appointment. Dr. Abrantes was my physician, but she was unavailable. They squeezed me in at 12 noon. Dr. Lopez was clearly annoyed when he discovered it was "just a muscle strain, and I could wait it out." I disagreed, because I could not stand upright comfortably. He begrudgingly wrote a scrip for a muscle relaxant. His attitude clearly sent the message that I was a bother, and waste of his time.
I didn't want to have to be in a position to have Dr. Lopez as my back-up physician, so I left the practice.
