Dr. Abel Natali-Lopez, MD

I have been to see this Dr. on two occasions both at the Millennium walk in clinic on metro. Each time was for completely different issues. On BOTH occasions, this Dr. prescribed the exact same antibiotic - which is a very expensive antibiotic. In addition, on this recent visit, he diagnosed me with bronchitis and in addition to the antibiotics gave me a low dose of prednisone. Again on BOTH occasions the medications were not working and I had to be seen by another doctor. Both times the other doctor could not understand why he ordered the medications he did. In addition, one week later and I have pneumonia - which he missed. I am now out two co-pays, the cost of all of the worthless medications he prescribed AND I now have 4 new medications that I need to purchase in order to finally get well. Not to mention, he bills insurance as a specialist so certain plans won't cover his shoddy care. I have never left a bad review for a physician until now. If you actually want to get… well - stay far far away from this guy.

I’ve never been so rushed out the door until being seen here. Twice now unfortunately. Had no concern for anything that I said, just prescribed antibiotics and said, “whatever is going on this will help.” When it didn’t and I had to be seen again, I was paid even less attention this the second time around than the first. I’d much rather pay a higher copayment for a doctor who cares about his patients than to ever set foot in his practice again.
