Dr Hutzel and his staff always take good care of me and my son. You can't go wrong here with your health needs.

Dr Hutzel is a compassionate, kind and caring provider who actually takes the time to listen to me. I feel confident trusting my health to him and can easily reach out to him if I have any questions or new issues arise. I have been a patient at his practice for 3 years and have only ever had positive experiences. read more

His negligence continues. After prescribing a muscle relaxant for me for 2 years, for no reason at all he stopped prescribing. He has no moral ethics. This is a medication I have had for 15 years. read more

I have been thinking about reviewing Dr. Hutzel for about 4 years now. I don't have any idea if he's a good doctor or not. What I do know is that he was extremely reckless with life changing information he gave to my mother, his patient at the time. My mother had recently started seeing him in the summer of 2011 when she complained of being hard of breath. Rather than doing his own testing or referring her to a specialist, he relied on an inaccurate supposition in a report he was sent from another physician. In doing so, he blatantly told my mother that she suffered from Mesothelioma and had 4 months to live. After she told me this I was devastated! I immediately started researching Mesothelioma and found that the leaders in this field were conducting screenings in Pittsburgh, PA. I made her an appointment, packed a bag, and flew from Florida to be at her side. After our appointment at the leading facility in the nation researching Mesothelioma, the chief surgeon said in no uncertain terms..."you are Not dying and you do NOT have Mesothelioma." So in essence, he gave her her life back. She still had lung issues, but not life threatening. My problem with Dr. Hutzel is that he put a death sentence, complete with a timeframe for death, into my mother's head and she was never the same from that day. How could she be? Subsequently, we approached her illness aggressively armed with a correct and informed diagnosis, went through many ups and downs, but I could not erase the damage that Hutzel had done. At one point he came to see her in the ICU and I banned him from entering her room or having anything to do with her as a patient. He may be a nice man. He may be a good GENERAL doctor to treat colds. But he is NOT qualified to determine a patient is dying without ever doing one single test or even knowing about the disease of Mesothelioma, since it was so new in the medical environment at that point. We know that in order to develop Mesothelioma one needs to have been exposed to active asbestos over a very long period, i.e. construction workers, roofers, HVAC workers, etc. Not a white-collar professional woman who's never been exposed to asbestos anymore than the rest of us. I will never forgive him for the damage he did and the life he took from my mother. Had he never said that to her over and over she would not have had a mindset that she was dying. I would caution him to have a more responsible approach to such important matters. Matters on which he is not qualified to speak. I would also caution patients to be careful with the level of medical advice you are seeking from him, outside of colds or chicken pox. read more

His office is located on 4th & Peach. Best doctor I've ever had and I've had many. He spends as much time as needed to resolve the medical issue or to make an appropriate referral. If you have a concern he doesn't blow it off. Office staff is friendly and helpful. I don't hav to wait in lobby for more than 10 minutes either. read more
