This was my introduction to Dr. Lutze. I like her very much and love the clinic staff.
  Apr 26, 2023
Needed lab work after appt in the same office. Waited 20 minutes before leaving and had to make an appt for another day.
  Apr 25, 2023
While questions were answerer, I feel my condition is not addressed. Because of my severe pain, it seems ignored. I want something to get me through when the pain is so severe that I cannot sleep and when awake, cannot function fully because of severe spine and knee pain.

Dr. Lutze is not my primary care doctor, but my PCP was not in the office on the day I wanted to be seen. Now I wish Dr. Lutze was my PCP! She was very friendly, professional, and engaging.

Dr. Lutze is such an amazing provider, I feel that she listens to my concerns, gives me options and never makes me feel like she is in a hurry to move on and I never feel like just another chart for her to look at. She is so easy to discuss issues with, I have recommended her to several people.
  Mar 8, 2023
As usual, Dr. Lutze gives me confidence that I am receiving great health care. She provides health care for both my wife and I and we are both very happy with our choice of her as our physician.
  Mar 1, 2023
Dr. Cara Lutze is a new provider for me, and I am grateful because she seems so kind, caring, empathetic, and a great listener. She is the first doctor I have had, that actually records correct chart notes, and office visits notes based on what was truly said in the appointment. If you read all your providers office visit notes & chart notes regularly, then you would know just how rare that is. I feel blessed to have her take over my care.
  Mar 1, 2023
Dr Lutze listens. Not in a hurry. The lab is good, short waits and techs good at drawing blood. Referrals are moot since most are not taking new patients. The telephone is a struggle getting through to some physicians. Parking lot Is good access. Lab results including history and charts is impressive, particularly showing high and low normal ranges.
  Feb 28, 2023
Dr. Lutze is very professional with me and seems to be interested in her patients She has solid and valid thoughts on healthcare, medication and her patients.

Dr. Lutze is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She listens, is compasionate, and takes time to explain things.
  Nov 4, 2022
Overall it was informative and pleasant visit. One area of improvement could be in the blood testing sign in. The day of my visit they were very short staffed, and bit on edge. The wait time was long, 30-45 min.
  Nov 3, 2022

Love Love Love Dr. Lutze. She is so kind and personable, and the best listener. I love that her recommendations are usually supported lifestyle changes first before drugs. I can tell she's busy but she always makes time for me. I do wish this office would let me see her more quickly when needed for an urgent issue. I'm so happy she's my doctor. I don't mind if she's running behind because I know she is giving her patients the attention they need and deserve and sometimes that takes extra time.
  Oct 25, 2022
Efficient operation
  Oct 25, 2022
Lab was amazing. Blood draw was painless and results available online within 12 hours.
  Oct 24, 2022
I am one that hates going to a doctor, but Dr Lutze has changed that for me, I actually now look forward to seeing her - as she has earned my trust with her extremely knowledgeable and compassionate care of me - she takes the time to get to know me and then comes in prepared for my annual visit - and then when there are new items that need attention, she performs the needed research to get back to me on in always a timely manner - she makes me feel very important to her and wants to make sure I live a healthy life. Whenever I send a message with a need outside of my annual visit, she immediately responds with the info and help I am seeking. Of all the doctors I have had in my lifetime so far, she by far exceeds them all !! I appreciate her down to earth style and the way she explains things in such a very understandable way to me too. I just love her to pieces :)

Dr. Lutze is excellent. I appreciate her good care! She is patient, thorough and knowledgable instilling my trust. She ordered labs and I waited 45 min for the blood draw. A tough wait when scheduling a medical appointment during a work day. Please consider staffing your phlebotomists differently.Thank you!

Excellent care and attention to detail.
  Sep 23, 2022
My doctor is excellent in all ways!!I am somewhat disappointed in the office staff for not making a welcome feeling as patients enter the building. Another patient and I discussed the lack of warmth and interest. The lab blood drawing expert was very good, and friendly as well. But first impressions in the front office were lacking, both at the check in and at the lab. Disappointing!!
  Sep 9, 2022
Dr Lutze's been my doctor since [date removed] and she's been excellent every time always has been and I believe she always will be.

I am very happy with Cara Lutze as my primary health care provider!!
  Aug 23, 2022
Impressed with how quickly lab results came back. However, the types of tests were referee to by a code that does describe the tests. It would be helpful if I could be provided information of what each test tested for and an explanation of the results. Perhaps that comes later. Thank you
  Aug 22, 2022
Everyone was very nice in answering my questions and helping me thru the process
  Aug 12, 2022

She is the best!!
  Jul 29, 2022
It is difficult to access Dr. Lutze when her medical advice is required whether it's to set up an appointment for an initial consultation or a followup appointment to review and assess implications of X-rays or labs. Communication problems arise from email messages that pass directly between Dr. Lutze, provider, and patient that bypass the MA and clinic staff. Instructions are provided by Dr. Lutze to patients (personally speaking) of which the MA and clinic staff are unaware. The effort and service provided by Dr. Lutze, MA, and clinic staff Is noticed. And appreciated.
  Jul 27, 2022
