Dr Fernando Lopez, MD

This office delivered both of my children and I love them. The only improvement they could make in my opinion is to cut down wait times.

My wife did not have a good experience with this office. First, aesthetically, it is pretty bad. There was a cockroach on the ground in the examining room. And, they ordered her for an unnecessarily expensive test for $ 1500 without telling us or getting our consent, sticking us with a huge bill. This company they used is part of a fraud investigation for kickbacks, so apparently offices like this get money for overcharging for bogus tests.

I came here for my annual exam because my primary ob-​gyn did not accept my new insurance. I located the practice via my insurance companies website.
I’m very particular about the aesthetics of my doctors practices. This practice leaves much to be desired. I pulled up and the grass outside clearly needed to be cut. I think the appearance of your practice is the first impression your patients get of your facility and was not pleased when I noticed the outside needed to be cared for.
This impression followed throughout the establishment, including the bathroom where the toilet paper was not in the dispenser but resting on the handicap rail. I didn’t find that to be professional for a health care facility. For this reason, I took a star from my review.
Although the waiting room was packed, I did not feel rushed. I was seen by the ARNP and I thought she was fantastic. Very charismatic, approachable and knowledgable. She made me feel comfortable and I would go back to her again.
If this is your first time attending this clinic, be prepared for more patients than you are used too as this is one of the only facilities in the area that accepts Medicaid for pre and post-​partum.
The last reason why I took a star from my review is that I had a lot of difficulty contacting the practice. I would dial the number listed 10 times and would get an automated message informing me the number was incorrect, but then on the 11^th time I would get one of the girls at the front desk. This was frustrating as I called to find out about directions.

Had my first baby three years back. Wait was long EVERY TIME (30 – 45 mins) and his visits were extremely short with me in the room. I’m not even sure he looked me in the eyes once!

What a terrible experience coming here to «women’s health» on Lake Underhill Rd. I DO NOT reccomend this Gyn to ANYONE. This was my 1^st Gyn office I had ever been to at the age of 19. This was my 3^rd visit here when I saw Dr. Lopez which I didnt know that Dr. Lopez was going to attend to me since Dr. Vanegas who I had seen the 2 previous times was not there. It was the WORST experience.
On the 3^rd visit to this terrible unprofesslional office Dr. Lopez told me about a result that came out from my 2^nd visit thinking that I already knew, I had NO idea what he was talking about & told him no1 had explained this to me I was so worried &corncered. I was caught by complete surprise bc Dr. Vanegas never mentioned anything to me either. I started asking Dr. Lopez questions to figure out what did it mean, what were the treaments &symptoms etc. Instead of him sitting down with me to explain & calm me down he handed me a few handouts of the treatment&symptoms & said «Here» then kept asking how I didn’t know about it & what type of card did I recieve in the mail. They send out pink or white cards which tell the patient if something came out positive or negative & when you should come back for another appointment.
The card I recieved said that everything was good, negative and to come back in 6 months. He started to argue with me about what card I should of got, and how could I not know. I was beyond furious, confused, worried and frustrated at this point. I started crying because I did Not know if this was something very serious, if I could have kids, die from it, why this doctor didn’t explain anything. His whole concern the ENTIRE time I was there is what color card I was sent. WHAT A JOKE.
I have NEVER been treated so RUDELY in ANY doctors office, the LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM is a crying shame. CLEARLY shows that this Dr & facility doesnt have a #1 priority for their patients. A waste of my time AND $ 150.
After this Ridiculous& terrible experience, I went to a DIFFERENT Gyn that the majority of my family has been going to for years in Downtown Orlando and have been treated with great care & sure enough –I was treated with great respect, had the time to ask all the questions I needed to, was not rushed out of the office. He started all over wih me & did a brand new PAP test, called me HIMSELF 1 week later after he got the test results & I am perfectly fine.
I WIll never reccommend DR. Lopez or Dr. Vanegas & their facilities to anyone. I wouldn’t want for anyone else to go through what I went through.

I’ve been coming to this location for years — it’s convenient, and they’ve accepted all the insurance carriers I’ve had. I’ve never had a problem with the way they do things. Sometimes, I’ve had to wait a little longer than expected for an appointment, but nothing drastic. I do wish that Dr. Lopez was a little more gentle with those cold metal instruments. years ago I had a different doctor who actually used a type of lubricant that was warmed! He was MUCH more gentle… but it’s tolerable at this office.
The office staff are fantastic and many of them have been there for years. I’ve never noticed it being dirty… overall, I would recommend this doctor/​office to others.

Wow, can I just say wow? I have no idea what the other two reviewers were talking about. I went to the Lake Underhill location and it was dirty, very dirty.
I had several horrible experiences there, the latest of which landed me in the ER at midnight.
I can only say two positive things about this place. First, the receptionist is very good. Second, they schedule appointments very quickly– just be prepared to wait 30 – 60 minutes for any appointment.
I have seen two doctors and one nurse practitioner at this place. Every time I spoke to one person, they said the other gave me incorrect information or did not examine me properly.
The doctors only spent maybe 30 seconds to 5 minutes with me in the exam room, then proceeded to discuss my treatment in the hallway. The office is quite open and our conversation could be heard by anyone in reception office and other patients in the hallway being roomed or checking out.
I never received any of my test results in the mail-​even for a well women checkup. I always had to ask for my results-​which they then proceeded to go over with me in the hallway!
The very last time I went, I was misdiagnosed and given a Rx for an antibiotic that cost $ 200 (with insurance)! I refused to pay that, asked if they could recommend a generic, waited an extra day to get the medicine, and wound up in the ER where they told me I was misinformed and given the wrong medication!

Dr. Lopez is one of the OBGYNs practicing at Waterford Lakes Women’s Health Center on Lake Underhill Road. The building is hard to miss — it’s day-​glo yellow with red accents. I found Dr. Lopez after having my attention drawn to the flashy exterior and because of the convenience of the location.
My first impression of the office was that the staff was very friendly. I mean, introduce me to one woman who likes going to the gyno. Yeah, I didn’t think so. It’s one of those tasks that we do because we MUST… and we deeply dread it. The staff here made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in and alleviated some of that tension.
The office and exam rooms are clean and welcoming. I didn’t have to wait very long once I was in the exam room. I know that some women feel weird seeing a male doctor… but don’t fret with Dr. Lopez. He is very professional and makes you feel comfortable right away. There is always a female nurse present during the examination also to make you feel more secure.
I had a good experience at this office. Well, as good as can be had for the gyno. I plan on sticking with Dr. Lopez and his staff for all my feminine needs.
