Kim Lopes is focused on helping women and families feel empowered and educated in their healthcare, as she supports each one in their unique birth experience. A National Health Service Corps scholar, she received her Master of Science in Nursing, Nurse-Midwifery from the Yale School of Nursing.

When deciding on a career choice, Kim knew that she wanted to work with and help other people. She was always drawn to issues concerning women’s rights and feels that it’s important to educate women to be comfortable with their bodies.

Inspired by a conversation with another midwifery professional, Kim decided that the field felt like the perfect fit for her, her skills, and her interests. Today she continues to be inspired by coworkers, patients, family, and all the folks that make up her community and that work together every day.

In her spare time, Kim enjoys yoga, outdoor activities such as hiking and biking, as well as reading, cooking, baking, and sewing. Kim is fluent in English and French.

As a nurse midwife, Kim knows that each woman and each family brings their own set of challenges and rewards, a fact that keeps the practice interesting and meaningful.

Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Annual Well Woman Exam

The doctor was willing to spend time talking and helpful in some new health challenges I have that will be addressed by another specialist in a couple of weeks.

Miscarriage Care

Dr. Lechner approaches all of my visits with care, sensitivity- makes sure I know what to expect and processes afterwards so I always understand my options and where I’m at whether it’s pregnancy related or just wellness visits.

IUD Insertion / Removal

She did a phenomenal job explaining everything and with the whole procedure. I'd give her 5 stars if I didn't have to wait so long.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr Kaminski is so personable and caring.

Elizabeth was very nice and thorough. I would have given my review 5 stars, except the nursing staff seemed rushed, not organized, and generally annoyed with their jobs. This is not the usual experience I have during my annual appointments.

Post-Partum Appointment

Dr Cobb is always wonderful to work with. He gives honest answers and helps create care plans based on my needs and what our family desires!

Annual Well Woman Exam

Great doctor. Very knowledgeable. I know that I always get great information/advice about my health.

STI Testing / Treatment

I always have a great experience with the office staff and especially with Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, she is literally the best. However, I wish someone would have called me to let me know my copay was going to be $245. I recently got laid off and had to scrabble to find short term insurance coverage which I know is not the greatest coverage but I had no idea my visit was going to be SO expensive. I unfortunately can't afford that right now and I appreciate that the office accepts payment plans but it was definitely a shock to hear that amount when I checked in. That would have been a lot for me even when I had a job let alone now that I am unemployed.

IUD Insertion / Removal

Pleasant doctor and staff staff who do their utmost to make the experience pain-free.
