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 was absolutely amazing with my son. This was our first time to visit with him, and he took the opportunity to speak with my son and speak directly to him about some other things that we're going on in our life as well as the illness that we were there to see him for and so I really was impressed by his professionalism, and I have actually chosen to move over to him as my son gets older for a male doctor. – Patient family

Dr. Lopez and his staff are so special to our family. We have been on a crazy journey witha rare disease diagnosis and an immune deficiency, so we spend a good amount of time in the office with Dr. Lopez, Promise, and Sunshine, and they have always made our daughter feel comfortable and supported. Dr. Lopez pushes for answers for our daughter and has never questioned or doubted my concerns about her health. We recently moved to Grand Prairie, and the drive to the Hurst clinic is far (30-45 min), but we will continue to do so because it is worth it to know our daughter is being we'll care for.

Always good with Dr. Lopez. He asked how her summer was and the impedance of her reading. Asked how she is doing and if the medicine is working. He always makes her feel comfortable and not scared to go to the Dr appointments.

Dr. Lopez took plenty of time discussing (patient's) concerns, as well as my own. We left the office feeling very reassured. I will tell every parent I know who is looking for a new pediatric practice that they should try Dr. Lopez. He is top-notch.

Dr. Lopez isn't (Patient's) primary doctor but was available to see her when she was sick and made a last minute appointment. He was kind, he remembered her from a prior sick visit, and he was great with her. She normally gets nervous around doctors and that never showed with Dr Lopez. He was an all star and made it a great experience for her.

Dr Lopez is not our normal physician - we see another physician in this office who was not there when we came - we were very pleased with Dr Lopez - he was fantastic with our kiddo and we're happy to report he is feeling better! Thanks so much for seeing us on the spur of the moment!

Dr. Lopez and his staff are always attentive, informative, and caring. My daughter has a rare disease that can sometimes make diagnosing things a bit tricky. Where we have been brushed off as "totally normal" by other providers, Dr. Lopez and his staff always take my concerns seriously and take the necessary steps to be sure (Patient) receives the treatment she deserves. I am so thankful for them.

I had to work over the phone with Medicaid to quickly change my son's PCP and the front office staff was kind enough to take my phone and handle the change for me since Medicaid was asking questions I didn't know the answer to.

Dr Lopez goes above and beyond to care for our child. He returns calls after hours and on the weekends.
-
January 29, 2023
We are truly thankful to have Dr. Lopez as my son's Dr. He has always gone the extra mile to ensure (patient) gets to live his fullest life without headaches, with this last situation and others he is always proactive and treats us I believe he would his own children. It will be hard in a few years when we graduate from pediatric care but for now, there is NO other doctor I'd want to go to for my son's needs!! Thank you, is just not enough!!

I appreciate the staff for being willing to schedule us on short notice day-of on a Friday. I called when the office opened and the appointment we got was just a few hours later. We were able to get my child's ear infection dealt with early on, rather than her suffering the whole weekend without any antibiotics. They also mentioned that if there were any further issues we could bring her in on the weekend, which is an amazing service.
