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.

Cannot recommend Dr Sutker highly enough. He is extremely professional and took such great care of me at both my visits. Dr Sutker explained everything so clearly and is extremely knowledgeable, patient and caring. So grateful to have found him and highly recommend.

My Dupuytrens Contracture had worsened, and I elected to have a Needle Aponeurotomy instead of traditional surgery. The results were remarkable and life changing. My hands immediately looked and performed normally -- the disfigurement and loss of function were gone. I became an RN over 45 years ago, and I can state unequivocally that Dr Benjamin Sutker is one of the most highly skilled and compassionate surgeons I have ever encountered. Don't have surgery when you can have this procedure.

Examined my hand/thumb, gave me a diagnosis, explained it, then gave me an injection using ultrasound as a guide for the needle. 100% success! Felt so much better & still do. Quick & relatively painless. I would recommend him to anyone. Also the office must have changed how they process patients because I have waited so long in the past, & not more than 10 minutes this time. The staff were all very friendly & efficient, which helps when you're anxious.

I have had elbow and wrist surgery performed by Dr. Sutker. His diagnosis was accurate and his surgical skill is exceptional! He has also treated my mom and aunt who also had great post surgical results. I HIGHLY recommend him for Hand/Arm issues. His nurse Leslie always has a welcoming smile and is very friendly and informative!!

I had hand reconstruction surgery in March and have had no complaint with Dr Sutherland nor his staff. He and his staff were very attentive and caring. I am almost 100 % and scheduled for my other had.

I had a hard lump on the inside of left pinky finger and my primary care doctor didn't seem to know what was wrong. Also it was bent and I couldn't straighten it. I had to go to a podiatrist and I showed him my finger and he gave me the name of Dr. Sutker. I made an appointment with him in Oakatie, saw him and he immediately knew what was wrong. His nurse scheduled a day for surgery and he fixed my little finger. His office staff was super as was the out patient surgery people. Great doc!

I had a serious carpal tunnel problem that caused my left hand to go numb. I cold not sleep on m left side; even holding the steering wheel in my car would cause the hand numbness. Scheduling the surgery was uneventful. The surgery was not painful; recovery was mildly painful and only ibuprofen was required, though Dr. Sutker prescribed something more powerful. This was my best encounter with a scalpel. The same day of the operation I slept well on my left side. Dr. Sutker is a gift to patients

Visit was rushed and he was rather dismissive on my condition. Didn't seem interested in listening to my concerns. Wouldn't return.

My experience was not with Dr. Sutker but with his office in Okatie SC. I had an appointment to see one of his PA's for a shot to ease the pain in my hand. There was no one in the waiting room when we arrived, but they kept me waiting about 45 minutes, while they took in some later arrivals. When they finally took me in, it took another 35 minutes for the PA Williams to show up. She did not bother to apologize for the delay. She was brusque and unfriendly.
