She is fantastic! And so is her medical assistant. Both make you feel calm and do not judge. They both explain things well so you understand what is going on. They treat you with kindness and respect! A dynamic duo! I did refer my daughter but the wait for a new patient to see Dr. Lutze was long at that time so she established care with another provider in the office. (I understand why the wait was long. Dr. Lutze is fabulous and I feel fortunate that I was able to establish care with her! It will be terrible if my insurance ever changes and I can not go to an Legacy provider.)

I wish the doctor had a list of all medications that can adversely affect my psoriasis. I had to refuse a prescription yesterday after the pharmacist informed me it could cause my psoriasis to flare.

Dr. Lutze is amazing! She provides excellent care and she takes the time to explain things and give a personal touch. Nurse Bree is the best. The combo of Dr. Lutze and Nurse Bree is the best. They are both caring and attentive. Nurse Bree deserves an award for her bedside manner and Dr. Lutze explains things in a way that are easy to understand but don't insult one's intelligence. I don't know what I would do without these two great providers! Thank them for me!

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was my initial in-take visit, so I had no previous experience with the Legacy system or Dr. Cara Lutze. Overall, everything went about as I'd anticipated, Dr. Lutze was attentive, personable, and professional, and I look forward to a positive association with both Legacy and Dr. Lutze going forward.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
New patient exam and consultation. Requested this provider based on excellent reviews from other patients and am glad I did. Dr. Cara Lutze listened to all my questions and provided guidance and support. My previous primary care provider of many years recently passed away and we needed to find a new PCP that accepts Medicare patients.

my normal provider had no openings and, since I was ill, I was able to see someone else on the next business day. This was very reassuring.

---

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Even though I signed up for WAITING LIST - IT DID NOT HELP! Took me 3 WEEKS to get in. Painful stomach problems that she told me to take stool softener. Test results went on line and were NOTHING to understand WHAT was wrong with bladder (goes 1/2 to 1 hour daily)night and day. Nothing reported on hair problems, recommended I go to Gastroenterology which was USELESS! I'm still living with pain 24/7 and all these two professionals recommend I take two different stool softeners???? Called more than once to get my TWO prescriptions at a lower cost and took me over a week before ONE was done. The other THEY CLAIM THEY LEFT MESSAGES? tells me a over the counter cream???? Legacy is the WORST when nobody answers the phones and you are forced to leave messages??? The doctor did not follow up at all and I need to find another doctor NOT connected to Legacy!!!!

The doctor explains what I need to do to maintain health as in striving to keep the dosage of the prescription low and not to increase the amount(s). To me, its preventative medicine and I appreciate this.

Front desk staff not helpful. I filled out forms online as requested by email. Staff at office told me to fill out again, didn't know what I had filled out online. If you're going to email instructions to do before office visit, staff needs to know that. Also called before coming in to see if I could get a flu shot, was told I could. When I got to office I was told no, I couldn't, I needed to come during a flu shot clinic. No one would take the responsibility of telling me yes over the phone. Front staff not very friendly or helpful.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
When scheduling my appointment through the online portal I briefly wrote what I'd like to see her for. However that information did not make it to Dr. Lutze or her medical assistant. The medical assistant did a thorough job making sure they didn't miss a communication from me via email, and explained that typically only admin staff would see the appointment message. Even though Dr. Lutze was not initially informed of the reason for my visit, she handled it perfectly and demonstrated her knowledge of the issue I was concerned about. I very much appreciated the time she spent with me and compassion she showed, it made me feel like she was seeing me as an individual and not just another patient. Excellent physician and medical assistant team.

Unfortunately, the receptionist did not notify the doctor that I was there and I waited a long time, and the doctor was also waiting, wondering why I was so late. Except for that, I could not ask for better care than both Dr. Lutze and her Medical Assistant, Bri, provide. I am so very satisfied that I have health care that I can count on, and that I truly feel "cared for" when I either call or go in. I feel very fortunate to have found competent, caring health care.

Dr. Lutze was personable. She is not my usual doctor-Dr. Anissian was not available and I wanted advice regarding an ongoing cough which does not seem to be getting better (don't know if it's allergy related and was hoping to find out. Dr. Lutze showed me xrays (ordered by Dr. Anissian) which I hadn't seen before, and referred me to a pulmonologist. I was not able to get an appointment until [date removed].

I had a bad experience trying to make the appointment for my annual physical. The man who answered the phone said my insurance likely would not pay for it and steered me into making an appointment with a pharmacist to examine me (his words). I finally told him I was hanging up and called back the next day and talked to a woman who was very helpful and made the appointment for me, advising me to check with my insurance company, which I did.

This provider appeared to be professional, smart, decisive. Unfortunately, after having seen me for only fifteen minutes, she announced that I had Kidney Disease, Stage III, and entered this into my medical record. I am a cancer survivor, where Stage III is next to dead, and it would be an understatement to say that I was shocked. Whatever she said after this statement to try to convince me that this diagnosis wasn't particularly severe didn't impress me. I had never seen her before, will not see her again. I believe she acted rashly and without concern for the effect this might have on me. I have been very distressed about this, and I will see my regular doctor to obtain further information about this situation.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I had a provider for 25 years that was everything I could ask for and more. After he and his family had to move, it was traumatic, and I tried several other providers. One was close to the same quality but then retired. I again searched for a provider, going to 2 others. I finally found Dr. Lutze and I am as happy with her as I could possibly be. She works WITH me on my health issues, is very smart; smart enough to know when to tell me she has to research an issue to give good advice. She is never condescending or impatient. She looks directly at me, observes my overall health, mentally and physically, as she covers all pertinent issues. I feel very fortunate to have found her and hope to have her as my provider for as long as possible. I would appreciate these comments being passed on to Dr. Lutze.

Everyone from check-i, to MD visit and lab personnel were timely, kind and professional. In May when I needed to be seen the same day and Dr. Lutze was unavailable the office made an appointment for me with Go Health Legacy urgent care in Sherwood. That experience was very good as well. I received care and got my medications with in a few hours and treating my ailment. When I went in for the check up with Dr. Lutze {date removed to protect privacy}, she did not reorder labs that had already been done in May at Go Health. Also Dr. Lutze's office staff called me promptly with my lab results even though I had already check them on My Health. Thank you, {name removed to protect privacy}
