    Bio

    Nicole Montero Lopez, MD
    Clinical Chief, Department of Orthopedics
    Specializing in Orthopedic Surgery and treatment of the Hand and Upper Extremity

    Philosophy of Care

    My philosophy is that patient's present with a specific set of concerns and that as a doctor, my job is to provide an explanation for what is causing their issue and what the options are for treatment. I believe patients are looking to be guided but need to be empowered with the information they need to make the best decision for their own care.
