I love Keri. I followed her from one practice to another, rather than to find a new doctor. She is awesome!

I was asked to show up 30
Mins early for paperwork that doesn’t take that long to fill out. I was called back at the time of my appointment. Then I wasn’t seen by the doctor until 35 mins after my appointment time. In total time I was at the office for over an hour and half. The staff were friendly and nurse practitioner was very helpful and professional.

Core Medicine is an interesting style of doctors office. There is everything from a general family practice, to psychiatry, blood testing/illness support, to urgent care.
The providers, office staff, and every employee I’ve both interacted with or just been around are an incredible team. Thorough, knowledgeable, and always cheerful; health care, doctors offices, and hospitals are often hard to trust and somewhat cold but Core Medicine is the exact opposite.
If asked by a friend for a recommendation, Core has my vote. It’s rare to find any type of health care business that is, at the very least, approachable. Core goes above and beyond to remove, at least my, dread of doctors offices/health care. That one aspect alone is worth the recommendation,

Kari Lopez was very professional and handled things very well. My appt was for managing my disbetes and she knew exactly what was needed. Her MA Angel was also very friendly and professional.
July 14, 2025Judith R.Verified patient
I finally feel heard about my problems. She asked me my opinion on my care plan, so I felt included, which typically hasn't happened with previous physicians. I am very happy to establish her as my doctor. Also, both the nurses we're great and made me feel comfortable. The girls at the front we're also very friendly.

We went in for my daughter’s sports physical and the front desk office staff was friendly and helpful. Nurse and provider were both great. Overall good experience.

Doctor was well educated and very caring and kind. She listened to all of my concerns and came up with a treatment right away. I am very grateful that she was able to see me on such short notice, and I’m even more grateful that she is knowledgeable about my condition.
