Donald Gutman

Dr.Gutman and staff are caring people and try to help in anyway. They go the extra mile for you as a patient. Can’t tell you enough how much this helps.

I don't pay much attention to reviews because the only people who post bad reviews are usually very negative and unhappy people to start with. However in this case, as a long time patient of Dr. Gutman I feel compelled to do so as I have had nothing but great service from this office. Dr. Gutman is down to earth and takes time to listen and explain things in terms that one can understand. He is a very pleasant man with a nice calm demeanor. And his staff is second to none! For example I just saw Kelly yesterday on very short notice and she quickly diagnosed my problem and fully explained options and a solution. And Andrea has gone way out of her way to help me with scheduling and referrals for procedures. She makes things happen! Kelsey, Rose, and the rest of the ladies are also great to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Gutman and staff! I don't pay much attention to reviews because the only people who post bad reviews are usually very negative and unhappy people to start with.

I had pneumonia last fall and Dr. Gutman did an excellent job managing my care and recovery.

Dr. Gutman ruined my life. His refusal to authorize an MRI or surgical consult for a compression fracture (clearly seen by XRAY) for three months left me with chronic pain. My surgeon's first comment to my husband and I at the appointment when it was finally authorized was, "A kyphoplasty would have relieved your pain three months ago." This monster owes me my life.

He is more interested in talking than being a good doctor. When my husband had an operation on his bowel he never told us that there were cancer nodes detected. We we later told by his onocologist that this could have been treated if we had wanted. We might not have treated it but it should have been our choice. Perhaps he never read the pathologist report.

He has been my mother's doc for many years. He's a bit old-fashioned (doesn't use computerized records & such very often) but that's a GOOD thing because he REALLY takes the time to deal directly & thoroughly with his patients. Another plus is his friendly manner & dry humor. His age & experience are particularly well suited for "Greatest Generation" folks like my mother as well as aging Boomer patients (!).

Office refused to take back a long standing cash paying patient after leading me to believe that I could return to seeing them, and pay by cash if I withdrew from my insurance thru California. Leaving me with no doctor and no insurance! Another representation of shady California practices!

My husband and I luv Melia - she's a great listener, very thorough and knowledgeable. Thank you!

I love this office the front desk is always helpful and makes sure all faxes and notes to doctors are sent. Melia is great she listens and helps you, not a pill pushing office which I love.

I chose Dr. Gutman after a brief encounter with a different physician in Folsom. Dr. Gutman understands an active lifestyle and cares about the well being of his patients. His PA's are knowledgeable and caring as well. My wife and I have never had a bad experience at this practice.

Dr. Gutman treated me on and off over the past 18 years. I met him during an ER visit 18 years ago, he was the on-call physician. He took an interest in my condition at that time and helped resolve the problem. He seemed very knowledgeable, very professional and earned my trust. I've seen him regularly since then and would recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for a capable general practitioner with a great support staff.

Been going to Dr. Gutman for 26 years. He is the best, always tells it straight. If it had not been otherwise I would have not been with him this long. His support staff is also the best ever. I would refer any friend or relative to him, period end of report.

Office is like from the 80's. Old school. There's a smell. Paper charting. Doctor didn't use gloves during assessment of private parts on someone I know. Ew. Gross! Disgusting on so many levels. Don't go.

Dr. Gutman is a very nice man, as well as another doctor who I saw during my visits. However, the two girls at the front desk are brainless and no help at all, and I'm not entirely sure how they were hired to work at a medical practice. I had a follow-up appointment scheduled after my initial visit to discuss results of different tests. I showed up to my appointment, and my results hadn't been called in because the girls completely forgot. I waited around for half an hour, just to be told that the internet went out and I wouldn't be getting my results, after this appointment had been scheduled for over a month and taking time off work. I was very surprised to receive a BILL, and was CHARGED for the visit! Couldn't believe it.. Almost a $100 bill for wasting my time due to lack of common sense of calling in results prior to a patient's appointment. Called to dispute the bill several times, however still to this day has not been resolved since they refuse to reverse the charge. Unfortunately will be switching doctors.

Dr. Gutman is an excellent Doctor, in his broad knowledge, as well a his specific knowledge in many areas. He actually cares about his patient, and actually listens when me, his patient, when I explain any medical or medical related problems, somewhat rare in these hard times. I would recommend him to any of my friends. That says it all. Thank you Dr. Gutman.

He is very uninterested in my health care, on my first visit I had a consultation but I have never had a physical exam. He never listens to my lungs or has any contact with me. I have a chronic urinary Trac infection and have to argue with him to get treatment, I also have hypoxia and like I said he never listens to my lungs, my blood pressure is controlled by medication very well but my visit before last he cut it in half without telling me and the next visit it was very high. He is arrogant.

I question Dr Gutman's efficacy of his patient care. When discussing the treatment plan I'm on from my former primary care physician and specialists ( I recently moved here from out of state), he said that's not right, we should do XXX instead. This is without getting the history of my condition and the history of my treatment plan. I offered the reasons for my care plan and he said we do things differently here. So I guess my Harvard Medical School physician in NY did not know what he was doing

Dr. Gutman was rude, unhelpful, uncaring, demeaning, and insensitive. I do not think he should be caring for people if this is how he treats them. We went there to get help and he made us feel horrible. Will never go back and would absolutely not recommend him.

I called the office to sign myself up and my 85 year old mother as new patients. The only request I had is that the doctor needs to be able to give a Prolia shot to my 85 year old mom, for bone density. The pills do not work for my mother. I was told that the doctor would not give a Prolia shot and she should take the pills. Right then I realized this was not the doctors office for us.
