Wonderful experience! Dr. Hutson saved my mom's leg with one amazing surgery! We were told that below the knee amputation is our only option by three different trauma specialists, but Dr. Hutson saved her leg! She already walks and very happy that she was able to keep her leg. We are forever grateful!!!

Eight years ago my son was in a motorcycle accident that shattered his leg. Thanks to Dr Hutson's gift as a surgeon and his unrelenting efforts my son Kenny can today do anything that he was able to do before the accident. Thank you Dr Hutson

Dr Hutson not only save limbs, he also saves a patient's sanity and optimizes lives. as for myself, I've had over 40 procedures throughout the last twenty six years of severe rheumatoid arthritis. as you can imagine I've dealt with many many doctors and quite a few surgeons as well. not only is Dr Hutson an incredible surgeon, he is an amazing person that truly cares and is very easy to deal with and very down to earth. many patients arrive at his side after failed trials with other surgeons, I advise anyone needing orthopedic surgery to either get a second opinion or be there at his side before you make a mistake.

Dr. Hutson has changed my life forever. I was born with congenetial bone disease, my left leg was a mess for 30+ years. I was referred to Dr. Hutson in 2009 and he did my surgery, ever since then I am a new person, my leg is straight, hip is now even and I no longer have to be insecure about my leg. Dr. Hutson is the absolute BEST!

I can't say enpugh great things about Dr. Hutson. He is incredible and we are soooo thankful to have found him. My husbqand got hit on his motorcycle and had emergancy surgery at Baptist....well we thought at the time the best thing to do was stay with that surgeon... WHAT A MISTAKE!!! after 6 months of no healing with Dr. Ramiro Nieves.. we started seeing Dr. Hutson and immediately started healing. Everything Dr. Hutson told us to do was the opposite of what Dr. Nieves instructed us to do. If you are looking for an orthopedic surgeon.... Dr. Hutson is the ONLY way to go!!!! We couldn't be happier :o)
