Very satisfactory experience
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/10/2025
I googled Dr. Kutlu's background prior to meeting him. His excellent reviews were spot on. Some speciality physicians unfortunately wear their positions on their sleeves. Dr. Kutlu was not that way with me. I went there convinced I wanted a particular procedure to be performed. We had a very good discussion wherein Dr. Kutlu at length and with very specific information, helped me to see how that procedure- the TIF-would not alleviate my condition. Dr. Kutlu highlighted instead the operation he is very confident, will provide the relief I seek. He is also confident of being able to accommodate a particular requirement I insist on be addressed should a particular complication occur during surgery. I feel very confident with Dr. Kutlu's expertise and manner.
