He was very personable and easy to talk to. Gave information I had never gotten before. Since I live in Indiana I was very pleased that he is willing to communicate with my doctor at home which my previous doctor didn’t always do. His honesty was very refreshing. There were a couple things I asked him and he told me he would talk to someone that handles that area rather than give me an answer that wasn’t fully correct. He’s a doctor and he’s also human and can’t know everything.

Dr. Cuttica is the epitome of what we look for in our never ending search for a top doctor to assist us in identifying issues and treatment options. He’s like a needle in a haystack. I had such a wonderful experience with him today. He was extremely through yet efficient. Given expertise, patience and extensive research in the area, he’s the type of physician that other physicians would go to for their care and send their loved ones to as well. I left there confident in his analysis of my situation and feel blessed to have been able to have heard it from the best in the industry.
