Dr. Cuttica is an absolutely amazing and lovely human being. Okay, he's also a brilliant doctor too, and he's so KIND! And he really explains everything so well. He also listens, which I think is rare anymore in medicine and medical people. And he really cares about his patients. I've found that he often pauses during our conversations to see if I have questions and to then explain more things to me. I'm very grateful to have found him and to be under his care. He's an excellent clinician and medical practitioner.

Dr Cuttica and I had an excellent visit today. He did not rush our visit and answered every question I asked in a manner that I completely understand. He plans on speaking to a couple of other doctors about my case and making a plan for going forward which I greatly appreciate. I also sincerely appreciate the fact that he plans on working with my doctor in Indiana considering that making a lot of trips back and forth to Chicago is sometimes difficult for me to arrange.
