Dr. Miguel Lopez Jr. DMD, PA
I was born in Cabaiguan, Cuba in 1964 and came to the U.S. when I was five years old. Although I have lived in many places, Tampa, FL. is my home town, where I feel most comfortable.
I graduated from Tampa Catholic High School and then attended University of Florida and graduated with a B.S. degree in Zoology. I was awarded my D.M.D. degree from Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, PA in 1992. Soon after graduation, I was accepted into the Advanced Education in Dentistry program at University of Miami/ Jackson Memorial Hospital where I received advanced training in oral surgery, dental implantology and hospital dentistry.
In addition to an active dental practice, my family has always kept me busy at home. I have been happily married to my wife, Isela, since 1989. My family all share my love for the outdoors. Fishing, camping, scuba diving and hiking have been favored activities from very early on in their lives. The Lopez family also stays very active in their church, Keystone Bible Church in Odessa, Florida.
