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 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.

The medical assistant swabbed for flu and Covid. Dr. Lopez suggested we swab for Strep because he thought we saw the beginning signs of strep on her throat. He was right, the test was positive.

This was a weekend visit with the on call physician so Dr. Lopez isn't our primary physician but we love him so much. He remembered (patient's) older sister from other weekend visits and felt safe and comfortable with him. He also called that evening to check on our newborn and it makes us so grateful to have chosen the right pediatrician/practice.

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 would like to recognize Sunshine. She is always amazing, but during our recent visit she was so fantastic with helping put my son at ease before giving him vaccinations. She was so great that he didn't even cry! We are so thankful for Nurse Sunshine.
