I couldn't be happier with Dr. Dutson and the whole staff at UCLA. Dr. Dutson is sweet, soft spoken and gives a very caring impression. He always takes the time to fully explain things and you never feel rushed. At the hospital, he met and greeted both myself and my family before the surgery, and afterward came down personally to let my family know how it went and that they could go see me. After care visits were at 2 weeks, then 3,6,9,12 months etc. My mother is now undergoing the process of approval and she will be requesting Dr. Dutson as well. I had no complications, 3 1/2 months later my tiny scars are barely visable and I am feeling great. His surgical competence and beside manner are both excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Dutson and the whole UCLA staff. My only criticism is that it is sometimes difficult to get them on the phone to make a follow up appointments, but if you leave a message, they do call back within a day or so.
Dr. Dutson was wonderful!! He was friendly, informative, personable, and made me feel very at ease. He knows alot about dealing with over weight patients and was kind and not snobby or condesending as some other doctors can be.
He was very straightforward about the surgery risks, complications, etc.... As well as the importance of following their guidelines exactly.
They currently have a 0% Mortality rate so that also made me more at ease.
Very receptive with questions and took his time to answer all my questions in detail. He was very nice.
Very well trained and nice!
His patience with my questions- so far...
Big emphasis...
yes

Both, but I would say surgical more
