Generated via Patient Reviews
The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Amazing kind and considerate Dr.!
Dr Hutchins is great! I tend to ask a lot of questions to understand what is happening and why. He was patient and went as deep as I wanted to go in explaining the procedure and what its effects might be.
Very clear about everything you have to go through. Very friendly and caring
I appreciate the fact that he informs me what he is doing as he is going through the motions of injecting my spine. He does a very good job in administering the injection.
He was very helpful and explained everything about the procedure along with his staff.
Although he looked like a youngster he knew what he was doing
Dr Hutchins is very kind & sensitive!!! It is a PRIVILEGE to be a patient at University of Utah Neuroscience Center. The physicians & ancillary staff members are Awesome!!!
IÕve been seeing Dr Hutchins for the past 8 years for spinal injections. HeÕs does an amazing job and I always feel that IÕm getting the best care from one of the best doctors in this field.
Amazing experience. Explained everything in Great detail before and during procedure. Was focused on my pain and comfort.
He is very nice to explain what is going on and pays attention to questions
Anytime I need an injection in my back/spine, I want Dr. Hutchins to do it. I have so much confidence in him. He told me exactly what he was doing as he administered the injection. Compared to an injection I had in 2018, at the Orthopaedic clinic, it was a 180 degree difference. Like day and night. I am willing to have future injections done by Dr. Huchins. I have great confidence in him. Thank you!!
Dr Hutchins was great and took great care of me. If i would've met him first this whole thing could've been avoided. I'm glad he did my injection and he made me feel at ease and i really do appreciate him.
When I spoke it felt very comforting that I was being heard. Troy was in great control with the procedure and made me feel like a person not just a patient. I thank you for that.
Excellent. Attentive with an excellent sense of humor.
This was the first time I met him but I was very impressed with his"bedside" manner and interest in me, my pain level and ability to help me.
Dr. Hutchins is wonderful!! He's thorough, compassionate and very caring
Troy and all his team performed superbly
A very good doctor and personable.
Dr Hutchins was very personable and friendly. I appreciated that as I felt more relaxed during the procedure. He explained things in terms I could understand and made sure I had all the follow up information I would need. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
Excellent, caring professional!
Compassion, concern for your awareness of the procedure, ensuring that all protocols were followed as well as the safety of me the patient
The doctor explained the procedure to me step-by-step as he was giving me the medication
Dr Hutchins is great doctor. He was prompt, caring a very good listener.
Troy Hutchins provided excellent care and was extremely kind and made me feel at ease during the entire procedure.
Diagnostic spinal injection results still to be desided. Right now I am hopeful.
Dr. Hutchins is the only doctor I have found that can do a spinal injection with accuracy. I was "tortured" by other doctors giving injections. Dr. Hutchins injections are nearly pain free! Plus, he's a "good guy"!!! Thanks!
Do not know Dr. Hutchins but compared to the other Dr & practice who was treating me, he is a Rock Star. He made my #10 pain go away!
I wouldnt have this procedure with anyone else. 100% satisfied
