Dr. Luttrell is a kind compassionate physician. Unlike the stereotype for surgeons, he is very reassuring and careful to answer any concerns.
The staff in the clinic is very proactive and helpful even with patients that live some distance away. My telephone calls are welcomed and answered with the patience of saints.
I met Dr. Luttrell and I am impressed. He listened to and addressed all of my questions. He was very up front and honest but also very caring, he even made my dad feel welcome. He spent time, which I know is valuable to a surgeon, talking to me.
He was the most kind, gentle surgeon I had ever met! He and his staff are wonderful and I would very highly recommend him to anyone who asks!
I felt as if he took an interest in "me", not just the surgery. He explained everything to me from the risks of surgery to after care.
I think the thing that impressed me the very most about Dr. Luttrell was the fact that on one of his daily visits to me in the hospital, he asked me, "What can I do for you?" I had never heard that from a doctor before.
He was also instrumental in helping me get my husband home on leave from the military just weeks prior to leaving for Iraq. That made a world of difference for me in my recovery.
I haven't met wit Dr. Luttrell yet. Judy,
one of his office staff is just wonderful.
When I have a question she is always ready
to answer it. She has kept in touch with me
since the first day that I decided to
self-pay. If my surgeon is half as
understanding as his staff it will be a
pleasure having him operate on me!
I LOVE my surgeon!! His office staff have been nothing but helpful and a great source of support! Dr. Luttrell has a great bedside manner and really cares about his patients. Every time I see him, he makes me feel like I am the most important thing on his calendar and gives me all of the time I need. His surgical compentence and bedside manner are both great. He spelled out all of the risks in great detail. He encouraged me to keep on the diet and to get back on the vitamin wagon after I fell off without making me feel like a failure. I'd send my Mom to him! I honestly have nothing bad to say about Dr. Luttrell. I know about 10 other people that he did the same surgery on and have heard nothing bad about him. I have only heard one bad report, to which I say...CONSIDER THE SOURCE!
I finally met Dr. Luttrell the day before my surgery. He was everything I had hoped he would be and more. He is a sincerely caring person and very knowledgable and helpful. His receptionist, Mei, has been extremely helpful with everything that needed to be done, she even came with him when he did his rounds at the hospital!! Talk about continuity of care! DR. LUTTRELL GETS A HUGE RECOMMENDATION FROM ME - I WISH I COULD BRING HIM BACK TO CANADA WITH ME SO ALL OF YOU UP HERE COULD EXPERIENCE HIS EXPERTISE! I am going with Dr. Luttrell because all of the reviews I have read have been positive and the cost (I am self pay) is quite reasonable.

I think Dr. Luttrell is the greatest. He was very honest with me before the surgery, and very concerned about how and what I was feeling. Bedside manner was great. Follow up visits have been good too. His office staff was good to me also, avery friendly and helpful. I felt confident in him because of all his experience (although I was only about the 25th lap he had done.) He is usually running late for appointments, but it was worth it to me for him to spend all the time I needed when he got to me!
I haven't met Dr. Luttrell yet, but I have talked to Mae (his nurse) and Kim (insurance). ...I do greatly appreciate how easy it has been to schedule with Dr. Luttrell. I can't say enough about that...
