I visited Dr. Cuttica after having recurring pain from a bunion surgery performed 7 years earlier by another doctor. He was thorough in his exam and gave me options instead of instantly suggesting surgery. After no true relief from the other options, I decided to have the surgery. Dr. Cuttica is how more doctors should be, extremely knowledgeable of the foot and ankle with a very human side and an excellent bedside manner. He was very forthright with his expectations on the surgery which I truly appreciated. Foot surgery is never fun but Dr. Cuttica and his staff were professional and friendly during the entire process. I’ve passed Dr. Cuttica' name to all of my friends and co-workers in need of a great foot doctor!

Was good. Listened and went through options.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Cuttica is great however the wait time was over 2 hours. The system in place is that a nurse/ intern sees you first and asks you questions regarding your health and reason for coming in. The you have x-rays taken of the site before you see the doctor. This was a little odd to me because depending on the injury, you might not need an x-ray for diagnosis (and they are VERY expensive). But Dr. Cuttica is fantastic.

September 24, 2013Michael L.Verified patient
Very professional, very informative and very attentive. Explained carefully to me my options and asked me if I had other questions. Just overall outstanding.
September 12, 2013Deborah F.Verified patient
Daniel Cuttica, DO, was very friendly and informative. He listened to my description of the ankle and foot problems that I have been experiencing. He showed me the x-ray of my foot and ankle and explained his findings as well as what he saw from the MRI which was previously taken. He also discussed treatment options and I appreciate that he wants to try some before going ahead with surgery. The only reason for the four star rating on question 1 is that one visit is a bit premature to recommend without any reservations. I expect that after some more visits, I will recommend him very highly.

I really like Dr Cuttica.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Cuttica was very knowledgeable about the foot/ankle. He asked many questions about my injury and history of injuries. Dr. Cuttica listened to my answers to his questions and was very caring about my concerns. Dr. Cuttica discussed options such as Physical Therapy and/or surgery if needed. I appreciated the fact that he didn't immediately suggest surgery (as a previous doctor I visited had). Instead, he suggested the least invasive options first and explained surgery would be considered if other options did not work. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing specialized foot/ankle care.

My teenage daughter has had ankle problems since an injury 5 years ago. She has had 2 surgeries and is still having significant pain. On our first visit, Dr. Cuttica was able to explain why she is still having problems in a way that we could clearly understand, and what her treatment options are. He had an x-ray series taken that she had not had before, which assisted in the diagnosis. I thought she'd had every test known to man! :) The wait time was worth it since he wasn't at all rushed with us and made sure all of our questions were answered. He was very easy to talk to. The office staff was friendly and extremely helpful.

Dr. Cuttica was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. I especially liked that he started with the least invasive treatment after diagnosis first. Very easy to talk to as well.

Dr. Cuttica exceeded my expectations. He listened to my point of view about my foot problem and was willing to give physical therapy and other conservative measures a chance to work before recommending surgery. I plan to continue seeing him for all my foot health needs in the future. I have also given my feedback to the physical therapy clinic where I go (Fast Track) and they plan to add Dr. Cuttica to their growing list of professionals that they recommend to clients seeking orthopedic services.

They need to upgrade, I needed records from a doctor in DC, and they didn't have any suggestions on helping me obtain them.Perhaps they need a form that I could've filled out right there, and it shoulda been faxed between the two offices, to get the necessary records. I don't feel like they put forth enough effort to tryto help me at all. Do I even want my surgery performed by this practice??? I get mad thinking about it, so I'm out!!!

Dr. Cuttica was very friendly and listened to me before making any diagnoses. He was able to identify an ailment that I have had for a very long time and that countless other doctors were unable to accurately diagnose. He did not rush at all and made sure I had the opportunity to ask all of my questions. Definitely recommend him!
