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.

Emergency Triple Bypass – Jul 24, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lutz?
Dr. Lutz repaired my aortic aneurysm and replaced my aortic heart valve. I was very scared just before my surgery, but he took the time to help alleviate my fears, for which I am very grateful. Dr. Lutz also has a terrific bedside manner; he calmly listened to my concerns (even though I had a hard time talking) and he exhibited a kindness I did not expect from a man of his position. The operation was very successful and today, six years later, I feel perfectly healthy. Thank you Dr. Lutz and the wonderful nurses at St. Josephs Hospital.
