Dr. Tutak was very nice and caring. He has what it takes to keep you calm before and after the surgery. He is an excellent doctor and also funny. I would like for Dr. Tutak to stay around a long time.

I have what is called a fail back and after many surgeries including fusions on my back, there wasn't much left that I could do because of the pain. I was told to see Dr. Tutak about having a pain pump put in, at first I wasn't to sure, but after talking with him, I put myself in his hands. I was his first pump patient in Birmingham, AL., and let me tell you after over 30 yrs later and many pain pumps I still trust him with my life. He works with M. Sovic, MD another wonderful doctor, that also shows much concern for his patients. without these two Doctors I don't think I would be around today. The pain relief that I receive daily from having this pump is wonderful. I can live a somewhat normal life without feeling all druged up on pain pills. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help that you have give to me. Anyone would be lucky to have either of you as their Doctor.

I understand that Dr. Tutak is only working part time now, as he is actually retired. I have had more than 50 spinal blocks for DDD in cervical and lumbar spine. He hits the spot you want relief for every time and is among the kindest and most considerate men I have ever met and by far one of the most skilled doctors who have ever worked on me. The Dr.s in practice with him are OK, but got to Dr. Unal if you can. May God Bless him.

He fixed my problem when everyone else said there was nothing that could be done.
