Dr. Lutz is a wonderful. Kind, gentle, excellent surgeon. When all is said and done you won't be able to tell that I had major hip and femor surgery. You rock.😊💖. My last 2 visits were quite comical. Some patients may have gotten upset with the visits ,there was some confusion but that's how I roll so I could just laugh 😂. Not with Dr. Lutz but some of his team members crack me up. I was released from his care 11/20 .No disrespect but I hope it's the last time I see you for medical purposes.Patient Submitted Review
