Great doc. Listens with interest and sympathy. Smart and accurate diagnosis and not afraid to send you up the line to a specialist. VA would have a much better rep if there were more doctors like him.

Dr Utt was my dr for 26 years before he left to work with veterans. Despite the other comment about Dr Utt he DID .Tell his patients he was leaving I miss Dr Utt because despite having to sometimes wait I never had to worry about getting in. I hope he is enjoying working with the VA but sure wish he would come back to private practice

Dr. Utt has been our Family Dr. for 20 years and he listens to concerns and he has a great bedside manner. He takes time with his patients which is why it takes a while to get in to see him but that is OK if he does the same for everyone!
