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.

Top-notch Cardiologist!
Dr. Hutchinson and her staff are truly exceptional! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The entire experience is professional, warm, and reassuring.Dr. Hutchinson is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. She is the perfect balance of kindness, compassion, and expertise. What truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares—not just about my heart health but my overall well-being. She takes the time to listen, considers my lifestyle before recommending tests or medications, and never makes me feel rushed. Her ability to explain things clearly while making me feel heard gives me complete confidence in my care. If you’re looking for a cardiologist who genuinely cares and takes the time to provide exceptional medical care, I highly recommend Dr. Hutchinson!

Almost killed my mom
My mom had alarming heart issues. She was off and couldn’t answer her. Then eventually she answered through the portal. The hospital said she should of been seen immediately. The on call doc refused to help us. It is more to the story but if you care about your love ones or yourself she is not the one.

Dr. Hutchinson also has a PhD in pharmacology. This is important to me because I'm on many medicines from many different doctors. I'm glad to have a doctor who has expert knowledge on drug interactions. - This is in addition to her being an excellent, thorough cardiologist. I feel that Dr. Hutchinson always spends a sufficient amount of time w/ me during check-ups. I never feel like these visits are rushed. I feel very fortunate to be her patient.

I scheduled a visit with Dr Hutchinson for a cardio second opinion, her assessment was so detailed and thorough that I have decided to switch and have her as my cardiologist now. She asked questions my current doctor had never asked after at least a dozen visits. She listened to my concerns and instead of discussing medications to treat symptoms she was more interested in figuring out what was causing the issues so we could run tests and come up with a plan to eradicate it. Dr Hutchinson was extremely genuine and I high recommend her.

Dr. Hutchinson lives up to her outstanding credentials. She is uniquely qualified to treat patients like me, whose sleep apnea *could* lead to serious heart problems. Her PhD in Pharmacology lends additional confidence that she has the expertise to prescribe the best regimen for me. Her kind, attentive demeanor and the professionalism of her practice all add up to an A++! I have 100% confidence in my trusted Internist, who recommended her, and I can see why he did.

I do not believe I have ever experienced a more compassionate doctor who looks at all aspects of your health. She diagnosed my sleep apnea and made it very clear to me how sleep disorders are linked to heart disease. She also has advised me on other ways to take a proactive approach to cardiac health through diet and exercise. She is truly exceptional and you can see the passion she has in the rest of her staff.

Been a long time patient. Recently went to change my meds because the one she prescribed didn't have a generic option and received a $100 charge on my bill for her to tell me in one sentence, Smoking is bad for you. Have called her office 3 times to speak with her and no response. Switched my doctor and the new one was appalled at the charge. Does a patient have to lie now to not be charged a ridiculous fee? Will never go to her office again.
