UofU Patient May 05, 2013
Dr. Hutchinson and his team spent roughly an hour going over my sons x-rays and debating about which surgery, if any would be appropriate. After lengthy and informative discussions we all agreed no surgery would be appropriate. Dr. Hutchinson treated my son as he would his own, as did his associates. I have the upmost confidence in Dr. Hutchinson and his team, the care they gave my son and the decisions we made based on their expertise. I would recommend Dr. Hutchinson whole-heartedly.
UofU Patient April 26, 2013VERY BUSY day that was dealt with professionally.
UofU Patient April 14, 2013Dr. Hutchinson was excellent in his manners and care.
UofU Patient April 05, 2013Dr. Hutchinson actually diagnosed an injury that I didn't even know I had. Didn't really pertain to the cyst that I was seen for but it did explain the pain that I thought was related!
UofU Patient April 04, 2013I had a good experience with Dr. Hutchinson.
UofU Patient March 27, 2013Both the resident (Mike - I can't remember his last name but I think it started with a B) and Dr. Hutchinson were fantastic. Communicative, allowed me to voice my concerns, listened to my experience and included me in the decision making process. I'll go back to them if I ever have another issue.
UofU Patient March 22, 2013DR Hutchinson is excellent.
UofU Patient March 15, 2013Even though he was extremely busy he didn't make me feel rushed or hurried. He answered my questions and dealt with an additional problem that occurred two weeks ago with one of my fingers. I appreciated everything he did for me. Thank you.
UofU Patient March 06, 2013Dr. Hutchison and his staff were excellent in every way.
UofU Patient March 01, 2013The fellow told the attending some wrong information and seemed very hurried and did not really seem to pay attention to what I said.
UofU Patient February 19, 2013Great experience. Was told surgery was my best option, given shots to relieve symptoms temporarily. Given all informaiton that was needed and all questions were answered. Really great care.
UofU Patient December 23, 2012Condition/results of misaligned, yet, healed fracture and what would/could be anticipated in future. The need for vigorus physical/hand therapy. The need for possible surgery in the future.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012didn't seem to address the rest of the problems I had going on. was just focused on one of the problems I was having. Was very quick in and out especially for the wait that I had. Seemed they were just trying to get me out of the office quickly
UofU Patient December 17, 2012Dr. Hutchinson performed hand surgery on Nov. 27 and this was a follow-up appointment. I don't have enough good things to say about him or his staff and would return to him in a heartbeat.

UofU Patient December 16, 2012The doctor was great

UofU Patient September 28, 2012Hutch rocks. He is always informative, kind, amusing, concerned, approachable, skilled, and just about every other superlative.

UofU Patient June 08, 2012Dr Hutchinson is an exceptional physician and surgeon.
UofU Patient May 08, 2012I have recommended Dr. Hutchinson and his staff to many neighbors, friends and relatives. For the first time in over 20 years, I don't have pain in my arm!! Everyone, from the skill-set and approachability of Dr. Hutch, the top-notch anesthesia team, the compassion of the preop/postop nurses/assistants, to the entire office team, were the absolute best any patient could even hope for.
