Dutcher Steven A DO, Wellington FL

I found Dr. Dutcher to be very personable and very knowledgeable. He spoke gently and explained everything in laymans terms. Office staff was also very personable and accomodating.

Dr. Dutcher is simply one of the most intelligent astute and focused physicians I have ever met in my life. He uses every opportunity to get you well before surgery and uses surgery only as a last resort. I cannot recommend him more highly. Absolutely outstanding

I was referred to see Dr. Dutcher for my back pain. I called to make an appointment and was instructed by the receptionist to get scans done before making appointment. When I told her I wouldn’t know what scans to order she explained I need to see my PCP. Still, not understanding why I need to see ANOTHER doctor to see a specialist (I don’t have an HMO) I tried to explain how I did the process with my prior doctor (who is no longer in network). Without letting me finish, she pretty much told me “this is the process”. Because society doesn’t allow people much personal time from work, I don’t have the time for ‘unnecessary’ steps, I was trying figure out why the specialist couldn’t see me and order reports based on HIS opinion. Since she felt I was challenging her, she let me know that I was getting an attitude. The doctor may be great but the staff should be a bit more helpful and understanding when dealing with patients who are dealing with excruciating pain. I won’t be going to any of their locations.

Dr. Dutcher may be a good Dr.for some, but if he makes a mistake he will not own up to it and never speak to you again. He operated on me in a private day stay due to COVID. Simple pinned nerve, I ended up paralyzed and he refused to speak to me again. My partner took me to the hospital, where tests were done,
My bladder was paralyzed, legs, arms, everything. He came to see me but refused to speak to me. I asked to
go to a all therapy place, he sent me to a COVID nursing home. As soon as I could move on my own, I called Medicare, I left immediately at their advice.
Refused to give my medical records, refused to speak to me. I am home and have to get my own therapy.
Can’t sue him, lawyers say all he has to do is deny, which he will, burden is on me, and I am too sick to d
Anything. I have Neurofibromitosis, am rather old for this, just waiting to die, Dr Dutcher pushed me over
the edge.

Everyone is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind beyond words. I feel blessed to be a patient.
Sincerely

Virginia Deary
