Because of the number of patients each Doctor has, it is difficult for them to give the care they are capable of giving. Legacy has been adopting the Kaiser model of having multiple Doctors for each patient, and having them rely on reading the patient's records instead of developing a real relationship with their patients. I understand that each of the Legacy Doctors are now expected to treat thousands of patients, which puts a huge amount of stress on all of them. Obviously, the motivation is profit margin instead of the highest quality care that you can give. You are losing two fine Doctors at the Tualatin office. One is mine, and the other treats my Mother in Law. He told her that he has 16,000 patients, and just can't handle the stress. This is terrible. I left the Providence group about 10 years ago for this very reason. Legacy was so much different, and I enjoyed coming over to your system. Now my Doctor of 10 years is leaving, and I have to find another provider. I'll be shopping around for a Doctor that I can have a more personal relationship with than an office that just passes me around to whatever doctor is available that day. I definitely won't be going to Kaiser, or Providence. Hopefully I won't be adding Legacy to that list.

  Jun 10, 2024
I am a well established patient and love both my Doctor and the facility. The concern I see that frustrates both the office and patients is the need for more doctors. There is no room for new patients or for overflow emergency patient needs. Hoping for more good doctors to take on new patients and slack for both office team and many patients still In need. Otherwise, very pleased. Thank you for asking.

  Dec 4, 2023
Very thorough visit and all concerns addressed appropriately.

  Dec 4, 2023
I feel as though Dr Lutze rather than being a doctor willing to get to the bottom of the medical issue is just a sort of middle man who directs you to specialists that have several months wait to get into see. She just brushes one off even though it takes two months to get in to see her. Yes she listens to all of your concerns, but then her only answers are a blood test or a visit elsewhere. Not a good doctor in my estimation.

  Nov 28, 2023

Dr Lutze always takes time to listen to me and answers my questions.

  Aug 29, 2023
In general she is a good provider but refers to a lot of specialist with no results and no follow up steps so you spend lots of money without any outcome or really anything. I'd prefer she would put quality of life over lab results.
