Excellent doctor and staff.
Providence Patient
Dr. David Cutler is one of the finest primary care physicians I've EVER had. And that's saying a lot, as I'm 68 and I've had a variety of doctors over the years. Actually, he's one of the two greatest primary physicians I've had; the other was decades ago and retired long ago. So, I'm especially grateful that many years later, and several internists in between, I became his patient. I believe I've been under his care for the past 17-plus years. Dr. Cutler Is incredibly knowledgable, a good listener, compassionate, intelligent and simply THE BEST.

I am in the process of changing doctors. It was very uncomfortable working with this doctor. No connection whatsoever Really do not want to detail this, but it would be nice if you felt a genuine connection or caring. I felt this was a busy, very bright guy that simply was not connected or empathetic with his patients in any real way.

Providence Patient
Dr. Cutler was very thorough in dealing with my health and explaining what had to be done....
Providence Patient
I love Doctor Cutler, he is kind, knowledgable and he listens - he could work on his understanding of the menopausal state , the changes and hormone inbalances that come with menopause are real, they affect so many aspects of our health and I feel that he doesn't quite believe that to be true fact. Keeping a food diary is not going to help with hormone depletion , he can do better for the 50% of the human population who go through this phase of life.
Providence Patient
All very good
