See my prior concerns. Dr. Vizcarra reported false information into my legal, medical record. He reported that he did a physical neurological exam, including co-ordination testing, strength testing, sensory testing, gait analysis. He did none of this. He never touched me. I am not sure if he ever looked at me other to to say hello. He stood at his computer, facing the screen, did ask questions and typed. As a Physical Therapist with 45 years of experience and a neuro specialist, I taught PT students and MD residents how to do neurological exams. My medical record is a legal document and false information is in it. I hoped it was an AI error. I emailed him, requesting that he correct my record, noting that no neurological exam was done. He has not responded. Please have have an Optum Manager contact me ASAP. This is malpractice.

Doesn’t seem as though as other neurological care at VA

Didnt understand him. Seemed passive

It takes quite some time to get an appointment with a specialist. When I arrived, the doctor didn't have any of my medical records, or even know the reason I was there to see him. I explained what the 3 previous providers diagnosed me with, but he said they were wrong and it's brain swelling. He prescribed a medication and told me to see him in 5 months. In January, I was told by my doctor, the ER doctor and eye doctor that this was urgent and I could lose my vision in both eyes. I had a CT scan, MRI and various eye pressure testing done. Dr. Lopez did not examine me or try to find my records on MyChart. When I left, I looked on MyChart and my records were all there. I will NOT be going back to see him, and I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated because now I have to find another neurologist and most likely wait months to be seen again, hoping my vision doesn't decline more.

Hospitalized [omitted] days in [omitted] for a neurological condition. Earliest appointment available after hospitalization was [omitted] months out! PCP reached out to Dr Lopez but w Dr Lopez would not grant earlier appointment. Suffered for[omitted] without a neurology diagnosis. Finally, in [omitted] a simple blood test identified the problem. Had to wait [omitted] for a simple blood test. Completely unacceptable. Reached out to [omitted] twice but received NO HELP.

follows up with care.... in my case, found a compound fracture in my back that my primary doctor failed to look at from the CAT SCAN in MYChart.. referred me out to get an MRI and to an Orthoepic doctor

Easy Doctor to understand

Again, Dr. Lopez takes the time to really listen...these days you don't really see that anymore & it's important when you have serious concerns about your health.
-
Very difficult to understand, a definite language barrier
-
He answers all .my question....
-
Porque no estoy satisfecha, con sus servicios.

He was very sarcastic, not friendly. I said it is nice to meet you. He had no response. I did not care for him at all. I also had a hard time understanding him. He spoke over me. It was like he was speaking down to me. I've never encountered that kind of attitude from a doctor.
-
Very kind and compassionate!! Excellent care given!
-
He was kinda rude and told me paste of what my surgeon told me. He was hard to understand and felt like he did not want to be there. I will not return to him.
-
He's a thorough and competent clinician, and I appreciate and admire competence.
-
He knows what he’s doing. He’s thorough. I trust him
