I gave the third question only four stars but that's because of the hours spent in trying to get appointments. Otherwise, I have great confidence in Cleveland Clinic physicians, certainly in Dr. Lopez and Dr. Simonds.

I drive six hours from the Indianapolis area to receive care from Dr. Lopez. She knows this and considers this in planning for my visits and any needed follow-up care. She knows how to balance quality patient care both virtually and in person while maintaining a sense of personal interest and caring.

Dr Poblete-Lopez went above and beyond, communicating with another of my care providers to help me with my skin condition. She took pictures of my rash and sent them to him. She was very caring and concerned. She supervised Dr Sloan, who performed the actual incision to remove the skin cancer. Dr Sloan was also very caring and informative, as well as my nurse.

Dr. Lopez comes highly recommended. I see her for laser therapy treatment on my warts, which are exacerbated by my Crohn's Disease and being immunocompromised. When I first started treatment, the warts were numerous and large. Dr. Lopez has successfully treated the condition and reduced the warts to a few very small ones. Dr. Lopez is always courteous and thorough in explaining what will take place and providing answers to any questions and concerns.
