Dr Lopez performed major surgery on my lower lumbar spine fusing three vertebrae, decompressing nerves in two areas and installed a bunch of hardware. The debilitating back pain that I put up with for thirty years was gone when I woke up in the recovery room. Dr Lopez and his team gave me my life back and I will be forever grateful.

I have had 3 procedures done with Dr. Lopez and all for different reasons and I would highly recommend him. He listens to you and tells you what he can do and let's you know your options and what he thinks is best to help you. Every procedure I have had to have to do I am thankful for Dr. Lopez and staff they are wonderful. I had one neck fusion in 2018, kyphoplasty surgery for fracture in spine in 2019 and October 2020 had lumbar microdiscectomy and foraminotomy to decompress the nerves from pinching and causing constant pain. I have not had any problems after each of the procedures he has done, they have all been successful and I am living life with so much less pain now. Dr. Lopez is one of the best doctors in the field and in Fairbanks.

This was my 2nd in person visit after cervical surgery and it was a short wait and efficient appointment where I felt like I mattered as a person, which is very important, and my questions were answered clearly. The entire process from pre-surgery to now has been amazing and I knew exactly what I was getting and what side-effects that could happen. I would wholeheartedly recommend coming here for care. Not only because I have my quality of life back but because nothing was hidden from me through the process.

My young son fell from a dozer and caused serious damage to his lower back. After 8 months of seeing other doctors, physical therapy, and injections we turned to Dr. Lopez. He went straight to the problem and my son is now fully functional, able to walk and to work. He is amazing.

I saw Dr Lopez about a week ago due to back pain. From the moment that I walked into his office i felt very welcomed by his staff and just everyone there. He recommended surgery and i was very pleased by the way he explained everything and the recovery time. I would definitely recommend him and his office.

I first met Dr. Lopez in 2012 after a series of failed back injections when I was told I had two large herniations at my L4/L5 L5/S1 levels without any known cause of injury. I asked to see Dr. Lopez after a previous family member also had him as her surgeon. I was 21 at the time and extremely nervous. However, upon meeting his PA, Sherry at the time and Dr. Lopez I was immediately put at ease. Unfortunately the only thing that could be done was surgery. Dr. Lopez did not rush me at all to make a decision. Was very sweet and explained everything about the surgery. Between back pain, leg pain, numbness and tingling it got bad enough where a couple months later I made the call to schedule the surgery. December 19, 2012 came and surgery was beyond successful. I remember talking with Dr. Lopez before surgery and how calming he was. I was truly blessed with an amazing and caring surgeon.
Unfortunately, 10 months later after a fall my L4/L5 severely reherniated again. I'll never forget the pain I experienced. Dr. Lopez said was in the middle of being here in Grand Junction, CO and moving to Alaska. I was blessed enough to have him once again preform another back surgery. I don't remember much due to the extent of the pain. However I'll never forget his compassion and how he comforted my mom when we were warned that I may not come out walking after surgery. But I did thanks to Dr. Lopez's amazing hands and the grace of God. 3 years later I'm walking to this day. A fusion is in store eventually, but I thank Dr. Lopez in my heart everyday.
Grand Junction, CO lost an amazing surgeon but I am happy for those in Alaska who have him as there surgeon or future surgeon. They are in the best of hands.


Thank you for everything you did Dr. Lopez
