Dr. Paul Vernon Tuttle III, MD

Ride and arrogant!

I have worked with doctors and although some cane be a bit pompous- this guy takes the cake! I have never heard a doctor in over 30 years talk to his patients family the way he did! And being a nurse I felt it was totally unnecessary for him to say in front of his patient “there is no hope. She will never be normal” We are not looking for hope from a doctor. We go to God for that. What I am looking for is a treatment plan for our patient, medication to help alleviate the symptoms and to keep her comfortable and pain free. Absolutely the most unprofessional ?!$# I have ever met! Do NOT go to him!!

Dr. Tuttle was personable and caring, he was available to answer my questions and he took time to ask me. He investigated what was going on when I was having particular symptoms. He was persistent in finding out what was going on and worked with me, as well as brought in other specialists. He supported my choice in a surgical specialist and even wrote a letter for insurance to cover this out of system surgeon. After my surgery, he worked with this surgeon and his staff, coordinating PT. He knew of resources that would benefit me, that I was unaware of, which have made all the difference in my life today. I saw Dr. Tuttle several years ago, but have always been very thankful for his interest, care, support and guidance in the diagnosing of my nerve disease.

CondescendingI would not recommend him.

He seems totally focused on his electrodiagnostic testing, and if all seems okay after that, you are fine, and sent on your way. If I wouldn't have been extremely persistent and continued to ask why I was having all these strange symptoms, he would have never run the MRI that showed that I had 2 brain tumors.
