I really liked this visit & Dr. Lutze, but she couldn't be of much help with my specific issue. She did refer to my gynecologist, a new rheumatologist in network & help me with my Rx. She is a good listener & she cares about my health.

The e-check-in system was very helpful.

Great experience but had to wait months and months for the appointment to establish care.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Lutze has been an exceptional doctor in caring for me medically and personally with immediacy, attention, and compassion. She is not only intelligent and caring but also she operates efficiently, which I appreciate very much. I must say that she is exceptional, because in five decades of receiving medical care I saw a lot of less-than-efficient, less-than-effective, less-than-compassionate care providers. Thank you.

Dr. Lutze is a very caring and compassionate person. I feel very fortunate to have her as my doctor. The only thing I might want to comment on is that I took a lot of her time with my list, but I didn't make it all the way through my list of concerns. This is more on me than her - I sensed that our time was up so I didn't bring up a remaining health concern on my list.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
She has always reviewed my history before seeing, listened to me, provided easy to understand directions and appears to actually care about my problems.

I find that it is easy to coordinate care with the specialist that I see this is also the only physician, other than the specialist that follows up on kidney donors to make sure that we are aware of any chnages in health, should that occur

I am always treated with respect and understanding. When I make an appointment such as the one on [date removed], I always make a list of questions or concerns to assure that I get everything I need. Cara is the best, and I mean the best. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my care.

Dr. Lutze is very personable. I appreciate her listening skills and follow up questions.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Getting an appointment time over the phone for a blood test was horrible. I was on the phone for twenty minutes waiting for a response. Sometimes your web site for appointments isn't working great, I get the spin cycle so this time I called on the phone. I would prefer calling my office on Jean Road for appointments instead of the phone line covering the Western United States, the Pacific Islands and Guam.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Lutze listens and goes over problem. What all might be happening and what may be from the past or follow up on what the body may be telling me.

I just love coming to see Dr Lutze, as she always makes me feel like I'm a very important patient to her, and that she cares about me and my health - very professional, courteous, and compassionate - with a most friendly beside manner - for some who gets nervous when going to a doc (me), she has earned my respect and has helped me to overcome that feeling - I actually always look forward to seeing her. It's very evident that she keeps herself informed and educated and updated with medical information, treatments, and pharmaceuticals - and she is very good about sharing that knowledge with me. I appreciate her so very much, for helping to keep me healthy and happy!!

Dr.Lutze always takes time to discuss my current complaint, and my overall condition or follow-up on previous complaints. She has never stood with her hand on the exam room doorknob; if I have a question she's always listened and answered.
