    Dr. Tuteja is a highly knowledgeable gastroenterologist with excellent bedside manners. He was very caring and took time to understand my problem in great detail and apart from giving medical therapy, he also explained the basis of my problem. I feel very reassured under his care and I was in a lot pain before I saw him. He addressed the problem medically but also gave a lot of confidence to help me take care of this problem in a wholesome manner. The University is very lucky to have a physician of this caliber.
