Dr. Lutze is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She listens, is compasionate, and takes time to explain things.

I am very lucky to have Dr. Lutze as part of my health care team. I messaged her twice about my labs and she quickly responded to me both times. I appreciate everything the clinic and Dr. Lutze do for me.

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.

Lab was amazing. Blood draw was painless and results available online within 12 hours.

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!

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!!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
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. When my son turned [age removed] I recommended her to him and he loved her as well. She really cares about her patients and she is an excellent doctor thank you Dr Lutze

I am very happy with Cara Lutze as my primary health care provider!!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
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

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
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.

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.

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

Dr. Lutze has always answered my questions. This time she suggested I have a CAT scan of my lung. Turns out the tumor could be cancerous. When she called me with the results she was emotional & concerned.

Dr listened, knew my history, had thoughtful suggestions
I also would like to extend kudos to the gal that drew my blood. I'm a particularly difficult draw and she was so skilled The process was over before I thought it began.
