Dr. Charles L. Lutz, DDS

I grew up in Fresno, California having attended Fresno Adventist Academy all my school years. At a young age I felt the Lord leading me into becoming a Dentist. I was accepted to Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1967. I graduated in 1971 at the young age of 25. I shared office space with my uncle John Lutz, who is also a dentist for 22 years. I relocated to our current location in November 1993.

My wife, Patricia runs the administrative side of the practice and I the clinical. Without you our practice would be nothing. It's all about choice. We hope that your experience with our staff and myself is as pleasant as possible and your experience is something you want to share with others.

Communication is important to us; if for any reason we do not meet your expectations or have any questions that our staff members cannot answer, please do not hesitate to call Patricia or myself.

Mrs. Patricia A. Lutz, CFO/Office Manager

Hello, my name is Pat. I have been married for 23 years and have one wonderful son who's name is William Randall Lutz. He was named after my father and my father in law. I have worked with Dr. Lutz over 18 years. I run the administrative side of the practice. My goal is to provide the "Nordstrom's" of dentistry service to our patients. I would like to provide a pleasant experience to our patients and I would like for all our patients to feel confident in the service we provide.

Dr. Lutz is gentle with patients and we run our practice with integrity and honesty. If any of our patients are not happy we are always available to address any concerns. We are available to our existing patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We base our patients needs on the best treatment available.  We have a wonderful staff and I expect for you to get great service from them. We really are lucky to have such a great team.

I want to thank our patients for the many years of service that you have let Dr. Lutz provide to you. Without YOU this practice would not be possible. We support many local charities and we also participate in Local Mission Projects. Please check out our Goodwill Endeavors page.

Thank you and God Bless!

Mr. William R. Lutz, IT & Sterilization Coordinator

Hello, my name is William R Lutz. My father is Dr. Lutz. I started working the summer of 2005 and will continue to work when I am not in school.

I am currently in my Junior year at Pacific Union College in Angwin CA, which is east of St. Helena in the Napa Valley. I'm Majoring in Psychology. I play the Harmonica, which I enjoy a lot. My hobbies include: Airsoft, paintball, playing video games, hanging out with friends, and golfing. I also like to paint. I have done mostly water colors, but I am capable of using oils, pastels and chalks. I have entered a few of my pieces at the Fresno Fair and have taken "First Place Ribbons" but more recently have painted a more abstract piece of the St. Francis of Assissi Cathedral in Italy. One of my more recent hobbies is writing on online websites known as role-playing. This includes different people writing different parts of the same story, each from their own characters point of view. Thank you for being faithful patients to my father.

Mrs. Michelle L. Kaufmann, Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been "brightening" smiles as a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2001 after graduating with Highest Honors from San Joaquin Valley College. I began working with Dr. Lutz, Pat, and their staff in July of 2005. The experience has been life changing, as I have formed beautiful relationships with our patients and staff over the years. We are truly a dynamic office, relishing every opportunity to learn about Dentistry through continuing education classes to make ourselves the best clinicians that we can be and ultimately provide our patients with the informed, gentle dental care that they deserve.

When I am away from the office, I enjoy working with my wonderful husband at our Vending Machine business. Together we are blessed to spend quality time with our two gorgeous daughters and our two Black Labs. Our most memorable family times are those of camping, fishing, and photography.

If you are looking for a positive dental experience and a long term relationship with a caring, knowledgeable, and friendly Dentist, and dental staff...then look no further...today is your lucky day!
