I was a patient of Dr. Kut for 2 years. I found him after becoming depressed during and after the pandemic, so he was was treating me remotely the entire time I was his patient. He prescribed me meds for depression, anxiety and ADHD.
During our last appt in August 2023, Dr. Kut informed me he would no longer be my doctor. He said this is because I live in Chicago and he "only treats patients in the suburbs so he can have in-person time with them."
I asked a few questions and he then admitted he doesn't even operate an in-person practice--for any of his patients--anymore. He told me he only sees his "doctored in" patients who he was able to meet face to face before the pandemic forced the telemedicine situation.
So this doctor "dumped" me basically without any valid answer as to why. He assured me he would make sure I had access to my meds while I found a new doctor in the city, however.
So I listened to him and I found a new doctor that week. But, I was unable to get an appt for 5 weeks out.
Im on Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Adderall and Vyvanse. Serious meds that any medical professional would advise against stopping abruptly.
Dr. Kut refused to refill any of them, however. His receptionist informed me that he refused my refill request bc he's "no longer my doctor."
Honestly? How is someone like this able to practice medicine?
I needed these medications that he had been giving me for 2 years and he just refused any additional refills. Unreal.
When I eventually saw my new doc in Chicago, she was blown away at the dose of Vyvanse and Adderall this guy had been prescribing me. She said she had never seen a patient prescribed such a high dose of amphetamines. She also advised me to get an EKG to check how these medications have been affecting my heart.
I don't know why Dr. Kut dropped me as a patient, but I definitely think it has something to do with the wrong dosages he was giving me for so long.
Dr. Kut has a great phone voice, but don't be fooled. He does not care about his patients' well-being at all. And apparently he's inept at prescribing properly.
I hope whoever reads this review considers finding a different psychiatrist. read more
