Dr Shutt always reads your records and his notes before entering the examination room. I'm very impressed with that because there's nothing worse than being able to tell your doctor doesn't know you from the last patient he saw. Dr Shutt acts like he really cares for your well being. I just started going to him but I am already completely happy to have him as my primary care doctor.

Of all the doctors I have seen in the UT Medical system, this physician was the only one with whom I have not been happy. It was as if he was not even listening to the core original cause of my problem, and he definitely was less than friendly. Worst doctor I have seen in decades.
