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.

I found Dr. Gutkin to be extremely knowledgeable about neck/spine issues. I felt comfortable following his recommendations and it has helped me tremendously. I would highly recommend him and the Hackettstown Office.

Dr. Gutkin has been my ortho for at least the past five yrs. He's simply the best! Attentive, gives it to you straight and doesn't sugar coat anything. He's still empathetic and sympathetic all in the same breath.

I have been a patient of Dr Gutkin for over 10 years. He is patient, explains pain relief options thoroughly including the long term impact of the short term decisions. He is very sensitive to his patients taking time to clarify and understand their medical issues in order to effectively address them. He has successfully helped me make pain management decisions over a long period of time to optimize my health.

Hackettown – May 24, 2017
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Gutkin?
Dr. Gutkin helped me immensely. I HAD been suffering with back pain (herniated disc) for over 8 years. Prior to see Dr. Gutkin, other doctors just threw pills (opiates) at me. Dr. Gutkin was able to properly diagnose what was wrong, and after a few outpatient visits (facet ablation, & steroid injection), I'm now pain free & off opiates.
I can't thank him enough, he changed my life. Dr Gutkin fixed 8 years of pain, and 7 years of pill-popping in 6 months
Plus, he is super nice, and funny.
