Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Consumer beware - Money grabbing doctor
Visiting this doctor will REQUIRE multiple visit so he can grab all the money he can. The whole office is like a factory. He spends very little time and does very little of the exanimations. Within two years of visiting him my yearly check-up went up by over $200...he did nothing new and there is nothing wrong with my eyes. Save yourself the trouble and find a REAL doctor.

Unacceptable
In office he was fairly knowledgeable and listened fairly well though he paid more attention to the computer than me. The consent for surgery presented to me didn’t even have info on procedure or Dr… when I complained, I was chastised by a technician and Dr Tutela said he was sorry and didn’t have anything to do with this? I also discovered that his medical opinion was not agreed to by other very competent and experienced ophthalmologists. Accessing the portal was almost impossible and again I was told it was my problem not theirs. In short b wary.

Money gouging
I never had an issue with my care, but I have since moved to Michigan. I called because the Ophthalmology office I will begin utilizing asked me to obtain and bring a copy of my old records, only to find out that they charge $10 to fax you your records, plus $1 per page. The office staff let me know that "Doctor to Doctor" they can send for free, but if a patient wants their own records they are charged. This is very upsetting and the office and Doctor allowing this should be ashamed of themselves. I'll guess I'll be arriving to my new physician without my old records, hopefully they'll be able to obtain them easily. HORRIBLE.

Downgrade from previous visits
Long wait time (hour plus) only to have my eyes dilated and not examined. Finally got my new RX and they wrote the incorrect one on there, causing me to purchase glasses that hurt my eyes. Very frustrating as I had positive experiences in the past.

If I could give him zero rating I would love to! I was in pain and I had to wait at least 1 he to see him and when he came in a rush looking to the computer and barely see me , send me home to use 2 eye drops and never told me what was wrong with my eye. So after that I found excellent doctors what told me my cornea was breaking up and the transplant I did in the past was gone! I could report him for negligence but what I have to say is God protect the patients he has.

Waited in a small waiting room for 45 minutes during the pandemic. The doctor talked to me looking at the computer, rushed through telling me my results, didn't explain much, gloom and doom, recommended laser surgery. Went to another doctor who did a full battery of tests, a different experience and different results.

I can't tell you if Dr. Tutela is a good doctor or not because after arriving on time for my 11:30 appointment and waiting in my car to be called in, I left at noon. They finally called me at 12:30 to come in, by which time I was already home. The receptionist told me that "during Covid" people have to wait longer, and, "it's just the way it is." I understand that doctors have emergencies, but then they should have the courtesy to call patients and ask them if they want to reschedule. Not leave them waiting indefinitely. I kept my appointment with him, but he didn't keep his appointment with me. All in all, I felt disrespected and un-cared for.

A unique and welcoming experience! Every person in the office was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I came to Dr. Tutela after having been to several other ophthalmologist. I was scared and felt nobody was listening when I stated that I'm working too hard to see clearly. The examination and the attention I received was comprehensive and the outcome was fantastic....Thank you so much.
