Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Really amazing RLE surgery in Denver ! Had the multifocal lens implant. Dr. Cutarelli explained everything to me. I had coke bottle glasses and contacts did not work for me. His bedside manner is so reassuring. Dr. Cutarelli is a doctor who cares, and so does his staff. I have 4 family members who went to Cutarelli Vision and all of us have rave reviews for this practice.

I was so nervous!
I was very apprehensive about having my eyes "messed with". Let me just say that Dr. Cutarelli and his entire staff made me feel comfortable and were genuinely kind about my worries. They even gave me, a grown woman a stuffed animal to hold onto as they were doing the procedure. When I asked for more drops, they did not hesitate. When I started to hyperventilate and freak out, they all waited and talked calmly and waited patiently for me to get it together again. At no point in time did I feel like I was getting them off schedule. I was the only patient that they were "worried about" at that time and moment. They truly give one on one and are attentive to your fears and needs. When it is time for me to get some "maintenance" I know that I will be nervous again, but I also know that they will be just as caring as they were the first time I came in to their offices.

Best Money We Spent
We gave our son Lasik for his college graduation gift and it was the best gift we have ever given him and the best $$ we have spent. Our son was legally blind and could not see a thing without glasses. After the successful Lasik surgery, he could see clearly within 2 days and he literally cried when he did not have to wake up and put on glasses first thing in the morning. I cried knowing his life literally changed overnight and he had a new freedom he had never experienced. Thank you to Dr. Cutarelli and his team for an exceptional experience and outcome.

Amazing
I like everyone else has probably heard that after you lie on the table, and the Lasik is done you will sit up and be able to read the clock from across the room. I almost didn’t believe it, but then it happened. I sat up and looked at the clock and was able to read it, and it blew my mind. The staff was awesome and made me feel very comfortable and taken care of. Definitely recommend.

Very satisfied with process and outcome
Lasik operation went very smoothly. I had it done last year and so far my vision has still been 20/20 no complications. Entire process from start to end was very professional and simple. Would recommend to others

Recommend for Lasik
Consultation was thoroughly done. Answered my questions. Procedure itself was quite quick. Longest portion was waiting for the Valium (?) to kick in. I got Lasik done Jan/Feb 2021. I still have perfect eye sight. Some slight dryness every once in a great while. I just use the otc saline drops when needed. Quite expensive but honestly worth not having to pay for glasses anymore.

It's Important to Choose the BEST for Lasik
Dr. Cutarelli was the only physician who took the time to show me exactly how I would see the world if I corrected one eye for near vision and one eye for far vision. I had been told by other lasik centers that doing so might affect my depth perception. Dr. Cutarelli's staff scheduled me directly with him to really explore this option. Because of that, I can see everything, near and far, and I have zero regrets. I tell everyone to get lasik at Cutarelli. I know folks who have gone to other places and are not nearly as happy as I am.

Fastest and easiest procedure ever!
The team explained everything so thoroughly upfront. They were happy to answer all of my questions. Everyone was very understanding of my nerves and one of the nurses even held my hand for the duration of the procedure. Luckily it was probably the fastest procedure I’ve ever had done, so there was barely even time to be nervous! They explained everything they were doing while they did it. Recovery was a breeze and my vision is SO good now! I highly recommend this office!

It has been over 5 years since my procedure and I am feeling great. I had an eye exam as part of an unrelated procedure and the ophthalmologist said my vision is perfect and my incision areas look great.

I had my procedure in December of 2021. The prep and procedure were quick, they were thorough with care instructions, and were great at the follow up! I've recommended them several times already and the fact that they have a lifetime warranty!

Clearly, LASIK is what this office does. Everything went smoothly and I am thrilled to have perfect vision. It is very systematic, with friendly faces along the way, and a doctor that knows the job and does it very well.

Clearly better
Had my first surgery almost 10 years ago. Great results after minor adjustment of one eye. But as age all things fade, so did my eyes. Went in for second adjustment 2 years ago and came back a few more times for fine tuning. It sounds like I went in a LOT, but each was a minor adjustment, which is fine with me as I would rather have several minors instead of one over corrective attempt. They are your only pair you know. Personally my eyes are slow to heal and takes a long time for final clear vision. It has now leveled out and it is as good as 10 years ago. What I especially like is that the guarantee is for everything, not just vision outcome. Visits are included, materials etc. Overall things went well just slow process for me. Outcome based AAA+++.

Life Changing Procudure
I wish I would have had LASIK years ago. The staff at Cutarelli Vison was friendly efficient and incredible all around. It is truly a life changing procedure and I have sent numerous friends and family to Dr. Cutarelli and will continue to recommend them whenever I can.
