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.

Professional attitude and comforting approach
Check-in process was prompt and the time between arrival to entering operating theater was short. Two night stay and the nursing staff very attentive to my needs, even through both nights. Every part of this visit completely met my expectations.

Highly successful upper lumbar discectomy
Four weeks ago Dr. Tutt and his team performed on me a right L1/L2 lumbar discectomy and the outcome was excellent. Evaluation, pre-op, surgery, post-op, and follow-up care were of highest quality. The skill level was exceptional, and the team's personal interaction inspired confidence and greatly reduced pre and post op anxiety. This was the second neurosurgery Dr. Tutt performed on me in the last six years. The first was a cervical foraminotomy in 2017 and it had the same highly successful outcome. God forbid I ever need more neurosurgery, but if I do I hope Dr. Tutt will be there for me.

I can go fishing again!
Dr. Tutt and his team were professional and easy to trust. After years of pain and numerous injections, as well as painkillers, I finally feel like myself again. Dr. Tutt communicated well both before and after the surgery. The nurses were kind, compassionate, and efficient. I have been able to stop taking all pain medicine. I can even go fishing again! Thank you, Dr. Tutt!

Neurosurgeon at Lexington Clinic
Dr Matthew Tutt has given my life back!!! After 2 years of therapies/injections, etc that did not improve my pain and symptoms, he said he could fix it, and he did! I had excruciating pain down my right hip and leg that made standing or walking unbearable. My husband and I love to travel, go for hikes, cook, and garden. We pretty much were home bound due to the pain until Dr Tutt performed an MIS TLIF at level L4/L5. That was 6 weeks ago, and I am now taking long walks, cooking again, going to UK basketball games, and scouting out vacations. I can’t thank him enough! I would not hesitate to go through it again if I have other problems needing his expertise. His office staff was great also. Friendly, courteous, and listened to any concerns.

My PCP referred me to Dr Tutt for treatment of long term problems with my cervical spine, telling me he was the best, and I wholeheartedly agree. From the first visit, through spinal surgery and post op follow up, I have found him to be friendly, enthusiastic, caring and a great communicator. Most importantly, the surgery went beautifully and I am headed for a new lease on life thanks to the skills of Dr Tutt and his PAs and surgical team. Another bonus is the staff in the office - everyone has been unfailingly friendly and easy to talk to while being very efficient. It feels like a place of respect both for patients and for each other. I would highly recommend Dr Matthew Tutt!

Dr Matt Tutt is the best! He, as well as his entire team, are professional in all aspects. They treat you well listening to you and your concerns. I went to Dr. Matt Tutt for neck, shoulder and arm pain. I have a +20 year history of degenerative disc disease, and had a fusion from 20 years ago. Dr. Tutt and his team took my medical history along with current diagnostic results and scheduled surgery for c-spine fusion as soon as possible considering the Covid19 impact to elective surgeries. I am currently 1 week post op with no pain in either neck, shoulders, or arms. Thank You Dr. Matt Tutt and team!

I was I severe pain and Dr. Tutt went above and beyond to get in to see him a month early. He scheduled back surgery for the next week and I am a different person! He did exactly what he said he would and has the most compassionate attitude toward his patients. A wonderful man and doctor. Highly recommend.

Dr. Tutt is terrific! Three weeks after my back surgery I was pain free - the first time in three years! I have the greatest confidence in his abilities. It is always a pleasure to go to his office; the staff at LC Neurosurgery are efficient, considerate, and always courteous and helpful. It is nice to be greeted with a smile as you arrive for an appointment. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Tutt and LC Neurosurgery!

Top notch experience from start to finish. Dr. Tutt explains the options well and never seems rushed. My pre-surgery life and post-surgery life are 180 degrees from each other. I was pain free right after the surgery and have continued to improve functionally in the five weeks since. The staff at Lexington Clinic Ambulatory Surgery Center were superior.
