Dr. Sutton is not only is knowledgeable and intentional, but he has a warm personality. I never feel like I’m “ taking his time”. Today I saw him for two simple Cortizone injections in my knees, but I still was assured that I did not need to do anything else at this time. My husband had to bring me today because yesterday I had surgery from a broken wrist. He had never met Dr. Sutton, but had always heard my praises about him. When we walked out, he said I see why you like coming to him! Thank you, Dr. Sutton!
