About Hector Lopez-Marquez

Dr. Hector Lopez attended Cornell University before earning his doctorate from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Lopez then chose to train at the University of Pennsylvania, where he completed a residency in Anesthesiology, followed by a Fellowship in Pain Medicine. Having connections to the New York State and the Greater Boston areas, he is excited to have the opportunity to join the Southcoast Health System serving the southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island communities.

Dr. Lopez’s philosophy of care is rooted in the belief that all patients who suffer from chronic pain deserve care that is compassionate, thoughtful, evidence-based, and integrative in nature. Dr. Lopez treats each patient in the context of their unique biopsychosocial situation and approaches each individual patient as a whole that is more than any one individual medical diagnosis.

He is board certified in both Pain Management and Anesthesiology.

My doctor was very thorough. He asked a lot of questions about my previous history since I transferred from Saint Anne's, he went into a lot of detail about the type of pain, the medication I'm taking. He sounded very genuine and like he wanted to do whatever care was best for me at that time.

I have been in south coast four times to get this issue addressed. This is the first time that anyone has seriously paid attention and was able to determine probable cause of ailment. He showed tremendous knowledge and was able to provide me with multiple possible treatments to correct the problem. absolutely fantastic. I just regret that he was the fourth or fifth provider I had to see in your system.

Dr. Lopez was a delight. Informative, a good listener, offered good advice and perspective going forward. Having seen another doctor in this office and not having a good experience, it was good to have an appointment with Dr. Lopez. He seemed very interested in helping with my issue. Going forward, if I continue to use this office, it would be for him only.

Doctor was very professional, very kind. All options were explained to me and every topic we discussed he provided visual of the conversation so I could completely understand. Suggested options he thought I should consider before actually suggesting I schedule injections. Incredibly happy with the professionalism with this doctor and his intake nurse. Wasn't ready to go to my last resort.

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings. Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office. The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
