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.

Dr was great and very empathetic toward me and my husband.

Removed fibroids no one else saw
He listened very well and was sensitive to my need to have the remaining fibroids removed that were constantly on and squeezing my bladder. I would wake up and urinate 4 to 5 times a night and I could feel something hard pressing on my bladder. I could not convince my other two gyn doctors previously that something was still there and that my incontinence was not due to weak muscles. Dr. Lutman went right to the spot, felt a hard lump and scheduled me quickly into surgery to remove the three fibroids that were causing me so much pain and anxiety. I am so grateful he was able to find them and take them out.

Dr. Lutman is a fantastic doctor. He called me on a Friday night to give me results after hours when he could have easily waited until Monday. It seemed like he wanted me to have the good news so I could relax and enjoy my weekend. This really shows a lot about how he cares for patients. He also spent so much time talking through my options and explained everything I asked him about thoroughly (all 3627282 questions I had). I’m so grateful for the level of care he provides. Fantastic doctor - highly recommend. Oh and forgot to mention he squeezed me in even though his schedule was booked.

I would give Dr. Lutman 10 star if it were possible. He saved my life. Was very sad when he moved from Dayton, Ohio. He cares for the person he is working with. He treats you like family. If he would not do it for his family he will not do it to you. He even gave me his mobile phone number if I had any question I could call him personally. How many doctor's care about an person to get out phone number.
