Dr. Stephen Matthew Gutting, MD

Dishonest

The staff was very efficient and my appointment was on time. The doctor explained the diagnosis completely. I did not feel rushed. He asked if I had questions. I was very appreciative of my experience, and would recommend Dr. Gutting.

Just had a consultation. Dr. Gutting's staff was very efficient. My appt. was on time. The doctor was very informative. I didn't feel rush. I didn't feel intimated. I was pleasantly comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Gutting.

Probably the hardest working Surgeon Ive have perform surgery on me. He did my surgery at 7:30 am and came to see me and answer my concerns at 11:30 P.M. How's that for care!!!! Thx Dr Gutting.

I had major back surgery and was extremely nervous and Dr. Guttings team is extremely nice and took very good care of me. They were extremely nice. I will be back to normal in a couple of weeks. He did a great job.

Excellent

I was diagnosed with severe right foramenal stenosis. I have tried everything short of surgery. Surgery was my only hope. Knowing my diagnosis and my low quality of life due to the constant pain he said he was on the fence regarding surgery. He wanted to order one test to confirm a retrolisthesis. He promised to get back to me immediately after the x ray. After calling his office 3 times and 3 weeks later I finally heard from a receptionist who said they would be willing to do botox shots. He refused to speak to me personally. Not long after I found a great surgeon who will be replacing my c3 c4 c5 damaged discs with artificial discs. Thanks a lot Dr Gutting!

Dr. Gutting performed 3 level ACDF. From the first appointment of meeting him and discussing my health problem to the postoperative appointments he and his PA, L.Stanley have been wonderful. Very professional, always listened ,answered questions.Great bedside manner and I had wonderful care at the hospital from everyone involved.Dr. Gutting gave me quality back in my life.

I was absolutely appalled by the change in his demeanor when I told him and Dr.Whatnot that I have been on long term pain medicine (methadone) for my Bladder Disease, Intersticial Cysitis. He kept me in the hospital with Tramadol and Vallium once a night for my herniated and bulging discs that are making it almost impossible to walk. He promptly said "Your PCP said I should not give you any narcotic medications POST Op so Im not going to do the surgery and youre going to have to find someone else to do this surgery...for now we will send you back to rehab." I was so shocked at his disgust with me..I had never experienced that kind of prejudice that a heroin user must feel if they break their leg and the ER WONT GIVE THEM ANY MEDICATIONS. THIS IS A TOTAL DISGRACE...AND AN UNDERTANDING THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN BEING Dependent on your medications from a physiological standpoint o being Addicted. Until there are doctors that are brave enough to look at that distinction we will have a bunch… of Dr. Guttings running around turning their own patients away so they can play it safe while their patients suffer in pain unnecessarily. SHAME ON YOU DR GUTTING - who by the way, did not even take the time to call the DR WHO HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND ACTUALLY PRESCRIBES THE MEDICATION. he WAS SOOO NICE prior to knowing he would have to give me some pain meds post op...and he flipped like a switch and dreated me as though I WAS A LOW LIFE JUNKIE!!! Behind that friendly smile on the top left here is evil but worse than evil is the shameful amount of naivety.

Excellent care!
