I'm a long time client of Dr. Lutes and trust nobody more with professional opinion and surgical expertise. Over the course of 15 years I've had 2 hips, 10 years apart, and the results were phenomenal. I've also had some knee injury instances that he corrected without replacement (yet). His manner is the best (down to earth and kind), he explains detailed medical information in simple terms, and absolutely looks out for patient first. This is reflected by his staff as well, they're awesome. I was very impressed with post surgical notes and details for both replacements, and follow ups are thorough. I have a referred a couple folks, their results and feelings are the same (i'm certain they're among these reviews). HIGHLY Recommend.

I had a very satisfying and productive pre-op appointment with Dr. Lutes. I was comfortable and well informed; everything was on time. My questions were answered and I am anticipating very successful surgery in a little over a month. The meeting with his scheduler was also very informative.

Dr. Lutes listened to my concern and previous to seeing me took time to review my updated xrays while between patients and agreed to see me to talk about surgery. I will post more about Dr. Lutes in February after surgery.

The doctor opened up with a great introduction; “Hi, I’m Bill Lutes. How can may I assist you today?” He was sincere and a good listener. He took the time needed to explain my health situation. Dr. Lutes was very thorough and kind. I was very comfortable and left with a full understanding on how we were proceeding. I’m very pleased to call him my doctor. The staff were very helpful and personable. Great staff all around.

Dr Lutes is very kind, compassionate, listens, and has a superb bedside manner. He is one of the finest surgeons within his specialty and I would not go to anyone else. I am recovering well and on my way to 3 months out on total hip replacement due to Avascular Necrosis which is the same as Osteonecrosis. He has an attentive team as well. Thank you for your meticulous talent on my replacement and prompt care!
