Dr. Cuttle saw my husband on an emergency basis. She was prompt, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. We very much appreciated her obvious expertise in ER medicine. Highly recommend!

Our doctor is awesome there Susan Stark if I could just rate the doctors she would be 10 stars. I seem to have trouble with the booking appointments area there book over the phone call to confirm a few days later no appointment could be found. Upon further review I find out my kids have more than one account in there system, get it together people we are trusting you to do a job that we count on. We will be looking for another clinic unfortunately Essentia is lacking in many ways. Don’t recommend me to your online or app your guys just cancel appointments or change them on your end anyway.

After going here off and on, I don't think I ever will again! I had a ER visit Sunday and they fed me Narcotics through a IV without telling me it was a narcotic, my body legit was in such rough shape when they sent me to Virginia that I don't even remember Sunday. A place I put my trust with my life in, after knowing they poisoned me with a medication without asking me if my body can handle them, as I would have told them on the spot if my body could handle narcotic medications because it cannot, they fed me one without telling me it was a narcotic and I was shaking, burning up, weak, not even coherent, i had to be helped with a walker and nurses because of it and I don't even remember anything after they shipped me by ambulance to Virginia. I had as a result got so sick from it, today I'm still pale as a result. Never again will I place my life or trust in aurora ER again, I had to beg Virginia to place and make a note on my chart for my own safety never to give me narcotics again. I won't be visiting Aurora ER EVER AGAIN! they put me at such high risk with my health putting that through my body without consulting me on it first. Never again! From now on I'll take my business elsewhere.

I will be finding a new clinic to go to. I have been seeing doctors there for years. Of course all the good doctors leave. I think it is terrible when you have to wait 2 months to see a Cardiologist 3 months to have a stree echo. I decided to go back to work since the clinic is harassing me about payment to them so I bring my return to work form that would take 5 seconds to fill out so I can work on Monday But guess what it never got signed so I can return to work. But yet they can harass you about a payment which I can’t pay until I go back to work. So no I am done with Aurora Clinic. I also seen this person they called a Dr.her name is Catherine Mitchell. You go see her you tell her what you want done. She even got upset because I wanted to be sent to a Cardiologist because she didn’t do anything for me except run expensive tests and at the end tell me we could switch my blood pressure pill. I have chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. I have heard wonderful things about Ann Vreeland. Some of the receptionists are so rude and crabby makes you want to turn around and walk back out. So if other people like this place good for you I give it a zero for a review

The reception staff was great but the experience with our doctor, Sharon Stark, was unsatisfactory, to put it nicely. First, and foremost, she acted like answering my questions was annoying her. She told me she thought she heard a heart murmur in my toddler, a completely new and foreign concept to us up to this point, and I had to hit Google to find out that most murmurs are innocent and resolve with age. Seems like something my doctor should have mentioned, right? She was just too busy being an arrogant A-hole to answer a concerned parent's questions about her child's heart. We will be requesting a new doctor and hope for a better experience. I will not take my child back to that jerk. I hate that I even have to post this personal info, i just hope to express just how concerned we are, and just how unhelpful and rude this doctor was. I have never had to complain about a doctor before, but I've never had one behave that poorly in our interaction with each other. I hope she's just having a bad day, and she doesn't treat everyone that callously.
