Dr. David Lopez Roque, MD

Dr. David Roque is a quack. Would go to him periodically because he would cure what was ailing me. I didn't mind his no nonsense attitude because i wanted him to be straight up with me. But today this condescending A-hole said in not so many words that I was lying. Asked me why I didn't take blood test that he ordered?? I told him that I did. I said that I just blew it off. He's the only doctor I know from Swedish covenant hospital so if they stuck me a drew blood it was under his orders. Then he started to act real pissy when i told him i did not take his blood pressure pills he prescribed. Crying like a real school girl. Took pressure and it was normal. Dead silent. Was on me about my weight and he weighed me and I was down 75 pounds. Again silent. Then he goes on to say that he is no longer going to be my primary care physician. To look for another and how he has made his decision. Im like this guy is a piece of work. Was pretty much called a liar about the blood test that I did in… fact take, didn't take those blood pressure pills because I lowered it the natural way and lost 75 almost 80 pounds also naturally. What most doctors would applaud this guy frowned upon. Seems like he's into keeping his patients sick so he can keep lining his pockets. Dont worry Roque quack. You'll never see me again. I have a different primary one that cares about his patients.

I just wrapped up my annual checkup with Dr. Roque. Every time I visit the office, I'm always amazed at how much I learn about dieting and physical health as a whole. As an added bonus, Dr. Roque is a good conversationalist. Overall, I went with the better insurance plan just so I can keep seeing Dr. Roque. That speaks volumes about the type of professional that he is.

My first encounter with Dr. Roque turned out to be very hostile, very quickly. He was upset when my husband and I were asking questions about the insurance coverage. He denied the care to my husband and was reluctant to re-schedule the appointment upon insurance approval. (He left the office and said. I do not have time for you...) Additionally, he wrote on my vaccination card that he gave me the cholera vaccine but DID NOT give it to me, when I called back to the office, he said that they did not have it. A week later I called again to see if the vaccine was available, the lady that answers the phone said: Yes, we do have it. Thus, later that day I called again to make the appointment and the same guy that greeted us a week earlier answered the phone and said that actually the vaccines were not available and to call in two weeks, that it was a misunderstanding. At this point, I suspected they were denying me the vaccines. Sure enough, I told a friend to call from her phone number and… ask if cholera and rabies vaccines were readily available to which they reply: "YES, we do have them, would you like to make an appointment?. To sum up; Dr. Roque has utterly and in a very insulting way denied me with the vaccines that I have completely covered. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL. And I told the same thing to my 5 friends that are traveling with me. He is a doctor, but he sure does not care for the way he treats his patients. I have also made a report to my insurance given the aforementioned circumstances. I do not want other people to deal with the same care I did, simply for asking questions.

I don't easily get impressed by anyone and certainly not by doctors but my recent visit with Dr. Roque has changed this perspective for me. He looks at you and listened to everything I was telling him and he explained in details what was wrong with me. He took time and did not make me feel rushed even though his waiting room was full. Great doctor !!

I needed some last minute vaccines for a trip to Africa and he was very accommodating. I couldn’t find anywhere to get the yellow fever vaccine but he was very accommodating and let me come in same day with very little wait. He gave me lots of great advice and spent more than 30 minutes with me. I would recommend to anyone!

Dr. Roque is the best Dr I have ever had. He is very nice and really takes the time to exsplain your diagnosis to you.

He is rudeBe careful from visiting him, I thought I am in a police station; he was talking with me in very bad way. Do this and dont do this.When I asked him to calm dawn, He said you can get your money back and find another doctor. OMG I am still cant believe that.Actually I am very interested to know what he was doing before being doctor.I dont recommend him even to my enemy.

I went in for a check up and walked away owing $900 ($1700 pre-insurance). According to my insurance company, Swedish Covenant, and my patient advocate, Dr. Roque (as the providing physician) was the only person in a position to solve the mis-billing issue. He was unwilling to help, blaming me (in pointed personal attacks) for the problem. Furthermore, during the visit, he failed to ask any basic questions regarding nutrition or exercise. He also gave me a prescription for an over-the-counter medicine available at any Target or Walgreens. His combative post-visit manner is highly disconcerting and I would strenuously caution everybody to find health care elsewhere.
