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.

If I could give zero stars, I would.
She was awful. Have had several surgeries on my leg. Waited a month to be seen by her for her to tell me I have arthritis and there’s nothing to be done. Didn’t order an MRI for my knee or ankle. Ordered X-rays and reviewed them herself. No radiologist. Didn’t really exam anything except for touching a few points and asking if it hurt. Asked me if I know how to take ibuprofen. Told me I have the knee of a 60 year old. I’m 28 and active. She gave me a packet on arthritis and sent me on my way with a steroid shot. I left in tears. Would not recommend to anyone.

I waited for an appointment with her for nothing. I saw Dr. Hutchison after struggling with back and leg pain for years now. She did an X-ray and barely a physical exam. I was told to come back to the office in 6-8 weeks for an MRI if I was still in pain. Of course I’ll still be in pain! She didn’t explain anything to me and I felt really rushed out of the office. Only plus side was it didn’t take her very long to see me and the office staff was very nice. I made sure to reschedule with a different provider in the office. Would not recommend at all.

Sent my daughter to this woman, after 5 years PT and Chiropractor for chronic back pain which had become completely unbearable. She took 1 x-ray and did no physical exam. She said, "Your back isn't broken". Tried to give her a Rx for Flexeril, which my daughter specifically stated up front that she DID NOT want because they knocked her out. Ended up giving her a steroid, when asked what she could do, she said, "Nothing. If you are still in pain get an MRI." AVOID this "Doctor"at all COSTS!

She was fine when I saw her for a sprained ankle in 2015. But when I went in 5 wks ago for low back pain/possible sciatica with weakness in my foot, she didn't seem too concerned about my pain. She did an X-Ray in house which was NOT read by a radiologist. She told me I needed an EMG first and not a MRI. Was not up front with me on how painful a EMG can be. 2nd opinion ortho said that an X-Ray HAS to have a radiologist report and images for Aetna so I can get a MRI. Avoid her for complex issues.

On the first visit, I got a cortisone injection in my wrist. On the next visit, I was still having pain in my left wrist and also in my right elbow. She said"It's probably the same thing" and did not examine the elbow. She said I needed an MRI - only for the wrist. One of her staff called to tell me that I tore a ligament in my wrist. I tried to find out what kind of tear but she would not get back to me or give me any details on what kind of tear it is. Less than 10 minutes for each visit.
