You can find the complete list on their website (inspiration. health). If any of these ring a bell for you, looking into bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT) could help. If your health and wellness journey includes weight loss, Dr. Lopez’s program is also designed for those who

As you continue on this journey, if surgical weight loss interests you, he is more than happy to discuss the Gastric Band or Sleeve Gastrectomy. He is committed to helping you be successful on your journey and view it as an investment in yourself. As stated on the wall of his office, “Your healthcare is an investment, not an expense.”
