WELCOME TO LIFE'S MEDICINE
Life's Medicine was born in 2012 out of a genuine passion for helping people. My name is Dr. Ana Isabel Lopez, I am a board certified Family Practice physician and have focused my medical career on common endocrine and medical conditions as well as helping patients obtain their ideal weight. The conditions themselves, as well as the medications used to treat them, can significantly reduce the quality of life. Additionally, being overweight but otherwise healthy can also negatively affect a persons disposition and outlook on life. I have been in practice for 21 years. The first 13 years, right out of residency, were extremely rewarding, yet frustrating. The frustration would come from having to deal with the third party payer (aka insurance) and trying to do what is in the best interest of the patient. Insurance companies did not re-emburse for weight loss counseling! I was always trying to keep my patients off of medications. We were not always on the same page.
Life's Medicine is not contracted with the insurance companies. This gives me the freedom to treat the patients with a holistic and integrated and functional approach. Basing decisions not solely on lab results, numbers and formularies but on a myriad of factors. At the core of those is how the patient actually feels and what may be causing them to feel unwell. We focus on the "why". Why is the patient not feelng well, what is the cause? We are able to implement protocols that can alleviate the symptoms by gettng to the root of the problem. This was not taught in medical schools. My post graduate continuing medical education has focused on hormonal optimization, functional medicine, anti-aging medicine and most importantly improving the quality of life! Conventional medicine simply taught to match a drug to a symptom, we want to know why you have the symptom.
New patient consultations will range from $300 - $500. Established patient office visits will range from $200 - $300 and nutritionist office visit $150. All new pateints will require an in house blood panel prior to the intial visit. Our extremely comprehensive blood panel looks at detailed Thyroid Panel(including Reverse T3), Sex Hormones, Vitamin and Mineral levels, Homocysteine, Leptin, Lipid and CMP, CBC. This is very valuable information that can help direct ares of focus for optimizng health.

She spent so much time wanting to know about me—not just my medical concerns, but all about me. In fact, I started feeling guilty that I was taking up too much of her time and keeping her away from her other patients.
