Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not a good listener
Took 2 weeks and a call from my primary to get them to return my call to schedule my visit, which wasn't for another 2 months. Doctor told me the symptoms I am experiencing are not possible and I must be imagining it. Then moved quickly to trying to sell me on a hearing aid. Staff is friendly, but you can't reach the office by phone.

I cannot recommend him
OMG, I will not go back. He bedside manner was poor. He performed a fairly evasive procedure, but didn't explain what he was going to do, or why he was doing it.He did not provide enough support afterword, even when I made my distress known.

I saw Dr. Clutter for a clogged nostril. I was impressed with his thorough knowledge in this area and his thorough diagnosis of the possible relationship to hearing and mouth/throat conditions. I was satisfied with the outcome, relieved that it was an easy fix in my case.

He did procedures on me that were never discussed and never part of the plan.

April 2018- I had a revision Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty with Dr Clutter. Fantastic! So happy with my new nose. I’m able to breathe yay! He is caring and in my opinion a perfectionist. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

1st review I've ever written in my life. Drove 40 min for my app. that was scheduled for 10a. I was asked to complete paperwork online to expedite check in. I did so and received a text 2 weeks later the day before my appointment confirming my 10a appointment time. I arrived to the doctors office 15 min early at 9:45 and was told my app. was at 9:30. I showed the lady at the front the text message and she told me I had to arrive 30 min early. This was never explained. Doctor wouldn't see me.
