“Peace of mind, stress management, and good medical advice is the first step to ensure long term health and happiness for you and the people you love.”
These words represent the practice of Dr. Edgar Lopez, is an internationally recognized physician who provides all-encompassing care (internal medicine) for his patients, by coordinating with a select group of specialists to achieve the best possible results, while minimizing costs and complications.
He has more than 25 years of experience in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating patients with routine health needs, chronic illness, or the complex presentation of tropical diseases. Dr. Lopez has perfected a keen eye and sharp sense for detecting and discovering the underlying causes of many of today’s most challenging medical problems.
Patients come to him for specialized expert attention when there is not a clear underlying cause of their illness, and their previous doctors seem unsure. Others patients have chronic illnesses with long-term treatment plans that require regular monitoring. Dr. Lopez uses the latest technology in diagnostic imaging and laboratory reporting pinpointing the problem, then determine the correct and appropriate treatment regimen.
Dr. Lopez provides “whole patient” care solutions, as the primary care doctor in charge of orchestrating collaborative efforts of several specialists in complex individual cases. For exams and consultations, or intensive treatment plans, his staff is always on call, placing patient care as their highest priority.
Medical, academic, and charity organizations depend on the wisdom, skills, and generosity of Dr. Lopez, which he provides without fail, in Guatemala City, and throughout the world. As medical director of the University Hospital, HUE – Esperanza, he has guided the hearts and minds of a generation of bright and inquisitive young doctors to be the best they possibly can, for their patients and for society.
When Dr. Lopez worked with the Universidad de Francisco Marroquin (UFM) Medical School, he initiated a high-level academic and professional international relationship with the Ochsner Clinic Foundation of Louisiana to encourage Guatemalan medical students to do their elective rotations in their chosen specialty for a period of up to two months in the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans.
In February 2016, Dr. Edgar Lopez was named Dean of the School of Health Sciences at Rafael Landivar University in Guatemala City. In this new position, Dr. Lopez can expand his influence on the students and academic organizations to positively impact the medical and social trajectory of Guatemala.
Among his peers in Guatemala and abroad, Dr. Lopez is highly regarded for his clear thinking, dedication to quality, and his perseverance, to give his patients the honest answer and genuine human warmth that they deserve.
