Meet Dr. P. David Lopez
I grew up in Eden, a small West Texas town. I had an early interest in science and helping people. My fourth grade teacher told me that I would someday be a doctor. That path began in earnest hile I was still in high school when I earned certification and started working in a nursing home as a nurse's aide, which I continued through college. The hard work and patients that I met served to reinforce my desire to be a physician. During medical school at University of North Texas Health Science Center, I discovered that what I enjoyed most about medicine was pediatrics.
My approach to medicine was influenced by my family physicians and shaped by the kids and families I've cared for as a pediatrician. The best part of my job is seeing children flourish at well checks. I enjoy seeing the children develop and helping them through illnesses and problems. I like getting to know my families.
I have been practicing Pediatrics for more than two decades, and most of those have been with Cook Children's. I believe that my experience has helped identify illness and trends and how to manage problems and diseases in my patients. Helping my patients and families through well and ill times has made me a better person and doctor. I am most proud of when a father thanked me for helping to identify and treat serious medical conditions in two of his children.
In addition to my work at Cook Children's, I've served on the Board of Directors for the Alliance for Children for 9 years. I've also served on the Advisory Board and as an active volunteer with Our Lady of Victory Catholic School where my sons attended.
My hobbies include: woodworking, fly fishing, kayaking, and spending time with my family. I made furniture and podiums for our school and for charity auctions. My family and I enjoy discovering hole-in-the wall restaurants all over the country.

Dr. Lopez has been our pediatrician since my son was born. He has always and remains one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate providers we have ever had. He never rushes through a visit and always takes the time to address any questions or concerns we have. Although our visits are not always well visits, we enjoy the opportunity to see Dr. Lopez!

-
June 06, 2024
Even though we have moved a little ways away from the doctors office I refuse to change pediatricians. Dr. Lopez has always listened to any concerns I, or my child have, includes my child in treatment and always finds something my child is wearing or interested in to establish common ground and help ease my child's worries. Dr. Lopez doesn't just treat symptoms but actively listens to what we say. He always explains what he is doing, what he sees, and then gives detailed information regarding any treatment necessary. It's hard to find a good doctor, but we have been lucky enough to find the absolute best!

Dr. Lopez is amazing. We went to Urgent care three days before and were told my son was fine and that it was just a cold. . When we went to the visit with Dr. Lopez he immediately took action and made me feel like he was really listening to our concerns. He prescribed medicine and we began to finally see an improvement in my son's condition.

The nurses calling after with test results and checking in a few days after to make sure my baby is okay really shows how much they care about their parents.
-

We called in to make an appointment for the same day and are so thankful we have that option when our baby isn't feeling well. We didn't see my child's primary doctor, but Dr Lopez treats her as his own and knows her name, will remember, and takes great care of her. It's so comforting to us as parents.
