Testimonial: “Dr. Thut is very warm and compassionate. His outstanding bedside manner is so rare today. After surgery he came in and sat with me and explained everything in detail, showing me pictures of what he did. I was very impressed as I have never had this from any doctor in the past. I highly recommend Dr. Thut.”
