Ignacio C. Lopez-Merino's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Ignacio Lopez Merino was my Dr. Over 22 years, three years ago my husband passed away and when I most needed him they dropped me like a hot potato with a letter that he was no longer was going to practice in his office I was referred to him by one of the best Doctors in Plantation Dr. Priscilla Morotta that's how I made him my Doctor after 22 years one day I go and his wife Lula hanged me a letter stating that I had to look for another specialist RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MISSERY today 3 years later I find out that Lula still works in the office and him in the hospital I had to scramble and started looking for another Doctor I am in Broward and I have to go all the way to Miami, AND I was paying them out of pocket visits every 3 months! Because he did not accepted my insurance at the time. Now do you think that's fair? Seriously? After so many years WOW what a professionalism!! Good luck to all and to you Doc! Was very nice while I had the best insurance correct? Sincerely, Teresa Blanco Terry how they used to called me!

The first time I saw Dr. Lopez-Merino, I was nervous that he would not keep me on the medication that I had been on for >12 years, successfully. After talking to me and thoroughly evaluating me he agreed to try leaving me on the same plan. I saw Dr. Lopez-Marino for just <3 years. In that time I cannot think of anything negative to say. He was always pleasant, as was his wife/receptionist. They scheduled the appointments appropriately. I felt he was always there if I crashed in between appointment times. The only thing I hate is that after being in practice and helping people for 40 years, he has decided to retire. I hope he enjoys a happy, healthy, retirement.

I wish you the best, Dr. Lopez-Merino, in your part time retirement. I could never thank you enough for all these years!!

I wish the best in your retirement! You have been lake a father and a friend all these years Will miss you

Dr. Marino is the greatest Doctor, and he is kind, professional ,compassionate listens to every problem that I have, I would recommend him to the president of the United States that's how good he is. And Lula is the nicest person I ever met ,also she has never let me down always with a smile on her face, she runs that front office by her self and she is amazing.

Been my doctor for almost 10 years. Excellent physician

you called them and you are a new patient forget about setting appointment once find out you a new patient they hang up the phone up in your face. how do you get business if you don't accept getting new patients.

I just read some comments that make me think they are referring to a different guy. Dr. Lopez Merino took care of my beloved mother, a Holocaust survivor victim, for the last six years of her life. She was very fong of him as he was always supportive and caring. Now I am his patient and all I can say is that I am still around thanks to him. Somebady wrote his English is poor... well. I was born in Brooklyn and I can tell for sure that his English is better than mine. Are we talking about the same doctor?

His staff consists of one person, and it is impossible to get her to get anything done.

Although I give him credit for recommending that I take a Personality Test, when the results came in, he didn't go over them with me. He just told me to go see a therapist and sent me on my way. He wanted me to re-visit him only 3 weeks time which was unreasonable given the fact that I first had to find a male Psychologist which takes time and then needing a few sessions with him before coming back to Dr. Merino to give him an update. His assistant Lula also tried to rip me off, trying to charge me (since I'm self-pay) $120 instead of $80 because only the 1st visit was to be $120, each additional visit were promised to be $80 which she knew. She also told me she didn't receive letters from me which after further searching she did actually receive. Also a new script had to be written for a medication due to miscommunication due to their very heavy Spanish accent. He also wouldn't write a letter for me to the Dep't of Children & Families which another Doctor did for me. When I told him that Dr. Merino fired me. He cannot take constructive criticism very well at all.
