About
Dr. Kendrick Lopez is the founder and Medical Director of Sereno Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. He earned his medical degree from McGovern Medical School at UT Health Houston. He then completed his Internal Medicine residency at NYU School of Medicine, where he stayed on as an Assistant Professor of Medicine. At NYU, he served as Medical Director of the Bellevue Hospital Ambulatory Care Clinic. In that role, he oversaw primary care delivery for a complex, high-volume patient population at one of the nation's most historic public hospitals. He holds board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Dr. Lopez centers his clinical approach on what academic medicine calls the diagnostic encounter: listening carefully, examining thoroughly, and thinking before acting. He grounds every recommendation in peer-reviewed literature, USPSTF guidelines, and major society standards. When evidence is ambiguous, he names that ambiguity and discusses it openly with the patient. He is credentialed at Methodist Hospitals and personally manages inpatient care for his members. He returned to San Antonio - his home - to build a practice where continuity, access, and careful clinical judgment shape every visit.
