Dr. Lorenzo Lopez, MD

I used to really trust Dr. Lorenzo Lopez. He cared for me through seven pregnancies, starting when I was just 14 and a first-time mom. Back then, he was working at the Women’s Center in Reedley, and I continued with him through the years—even after switching to private insurance and later to Medi-Cal. He made an exception for me, and I followed him from Reedley to Clovis. Keep in mind, this office doesn’t accept Medi-Cal and never has, but he continued seeing me and delivered three of my children there. He delivered my daughter in 2019 and my son in 2020. But even then, I started noticing issues—like when he missed my daughter’s delivery because he was still in the office. A nurse had to deliver her, and his excuse was that he wasn’t called in time. In 2022, I became pregnant again, and unfortunately, I miscarried at almost six months. Dr. Lopez saw me only once afterward, with no empathy and no real explanation—just, “You’re halfway through; this is what happened.” Shortly after,… his office called to tell me he would no longer see me because of my Medi-Cal coverage. After all those years and all those pregnancies, I felt completely abandoned. Thankfully, I was referred to UCSF in San Francisco. The drive was long, but the level of care was on a whole different level. They supported me through a surgical procedure during my next pregnancy in 2023, which helped me carry my rainbow baby safely. Later, I learned from my new OB-GYN that being induced in my past pregnancies carried risks that were never fully explained to me. That was hard to hear. I always believed Dr. Lopez had my best interest at heart, but looking back, I question how informed I really was. I do want to acknowledge his medical assistant, Liz—she is amazing and so kind. But I can no longer recommend Dr. Lopez. What hurt the most was being dropped after my miscarriage and being told I couldn’t be seen anymore because of my insurance, despite being a loyal patient for years. Shame on you, Dr. Lopez. I don’t forget where you came from—and I never expected to be treated like that. To anyone reading this: do your research. If you can, look into doctors in the Bay Area or at Cedars-Sinai. It may be a drive, but it’s worth it to receive real care. I felt I had to leave this review because a couple of girlfriends recently asked me for OB recommendations—and I gave them my honest answer. Personally, I would feel more comfortable having Dr. Dan Dorough (He delivered my son when Dr.Lopez was on vacation) take care of me than Dr. Lorenzo Lopez at this point. Thank you, Dr. Lopez, for the care you did provide, but also for letting me go when I was at my lowest. I ended up receiving amazing care at UCSF in San Francisco, and today I have my rainbow baby. I wish you the best with your plans to move to Washington, like you once told me you wanted to do.

He followed me thru my pregnancy. I saw him at every prenatal visit. His team was awesome as well. The k oh thing I didn’t like which was out of our control. Was that I went into labor n the on call doctor was not a doctor I seen it knew at all. I would of prefer to have had dr Lopez deliver my baby.

Dr. Lopez made me feel very taken care of. I trusted him and have never had an ob that saw me at each prenatal check up. So overall I would choose him as my doctor if I had to do it all over again.

We were happy with Dr. Lopez and his staff until our childs birth. Dr. Lopez pushed a csection on us that was unnecessary. He scared us to make us think it was necessary. He needs to listen to his patients! He says he was trained by midwives but he doesn't follow what they practice. Do your research and know you can get another opinion.
