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.

He's so nice,understanding and explains everything to you. And the staff at the 3B were very nice also.I definitely recommended Dr.Sutton!

I first met Dr. Sutton in 2012, on an emergency basis. I needed back surgery to remove a siactic cyst. He needed to perform 3 surergies at one time. Besides the cyst, he removed the arthritis and needed to do a spinal fusion. In late 2019 I started having back issues again , CT, and MRIs where ordered, and then the pandemic. In the meantime I had been refered to his colleague DR. Prassad to remove the internal stimulater that had been placed in my back for pain releif(never worked). Due to the pandemic it was July 2020 before I could get back to see anybody. Dr. Prassad ordered an x-ray to see where the leads where and showed me on the x-ray where my back looked like stairsteps. He didn't go into details, stated Dr. Sutton would explain. He called the next day. Arrangements where made and I would again have 2 surgeries at 1 time, My back was "grossly unstable" is how Dr. Sutton described it after surgery. Removal of the device and a longer fusion. Highly highly recommend both Drs.

Thank you Dr. Sutton! I had back surgery in July (2018) and have had a positive experience from my first consultation, after my surgery & during my hospital stay, & through each follow-up appointment. Besides being an excellent surgeon, I've experienced that Dr. Sutton is a patient professional, who treated me with kindness & respect. He answered EVERY question I had, in a calming and confident manner. His hardworking staff has also treated me well. I have recommended him to everyone I know!!

Dr. Sutton's Bedside Manner was a Bit Bulling! He Made Me Feel As Though I Had No Hope With My Lumbar Spine Problem. Dr Sutton Told Me That I Would Still Have Pain After The Surgery And Therefore He Want Nothing To Do With It! Just Like That. This Happened A Day Before Thanksgiving!
