Marchi V. Lopez-Linus, MD - Western Wake Pediatrics

Dr. Marchi Lopez was my son’s pediatrician from the time he was less than a year old, to when he was about five, that we moved out of the area. Next month, my son will be 20. A friend in the area was looking for a pediatrician in the area and I looked to see if he was still practicing, hoping he had not moved. To my delight, he is still in Cary, doesn’t look a day older than 20 years ago, and evidently continues thriving on what he is obviously great at. Children gravitate to him. His charisma, knowledge, incredible bedside manner, respect to different cultural backgrounds and willingness to go above and beyond to help with your child without pushing any of his opinions or beliefs, make him such a trustworthy person. I will always be thankful to him for all the times he took us in on a Saturday morning, after hours on a weekday and even calling on his free time to offer advice. Pediatricians like him, are very rare to find!

My son has been visiting Dr. Lopez since we moved here and he was 4. A lot of doctors we visited in the past were too mechanical and too serious for kids. A lot of them lacked the patience you need to work with kids, very young kids I mean. Dr. Lopez is just the opposite. He is playful and funny and all kids just love him. He takes his time to hear you out and play with your kid and then go to the serious part (check up, shots, medicine, etc.). I could go on and on, but just want to say that we are very lucky to find a pediatrician like him. If you want the best doctor for your kid, do visit him and you will know what I am talking about.

Dr. Lopez has been our Pediatrician since my DD was born; which was 11.9 years ago. Since my daughter could know better she has always ~wanted to go~ to Dr. Lopez. She always gets real excited and happy when I tell her I've made and appointment. And, in turn has always been sad to leave his presence when the appointment ends. Dr. Lopez has the best bed side manner not only to the children but the nervous parents from dealing with breastfeeding to puberty. He always has helpful antidotes on every visit, Never makes you feel like he has probably 3 other patients waiting, makes absolutely sure you have asked all questions before he leaves the room. And, most of all has made the whole experience fun and relaxed. I know I was never happy about going to my Dr. appt. as a child; I'm so glad my DD does not share that same experience. Thank you for reading my note.
