Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Being a former patient of Dr. Knasis and since he retired , I met with Dr. Hutchins for a consultation regarding the possible removal of a papilloma. Because of my history and having had three papillomas previously in the same breast, that were all benign, we decided to just wait and see until next year’s routine mammogram whether to remove it, if it showed any changes. Dr. Hutchins was very compassionate and explained the reasons why she thought I could wait until next year to decide if I needed to have this papilloma removed. I appreciate all the time she took with me explaining my current condition. I would recommend Dr. Hutchins to anyone looking for a compassionate knowledgeable physician.

If you have to see a doctor, you’ll have a hard time finding one better than Dr Hutchins. Professional, personable, genuine, and approachable all describe her well. She performed my surgery, and I look forward to seeing her during follow-up visits.

Dr. Hutchins is a very knowledgeable & caring surgeon. We discussed several breast cancer treatment options and developed a plan that met my needs. She took the time to answer all my questions. After my initial visit I knew I was in the care of a top notch doctor. Surgery was a success! Highly recommend Dr. Hutchins and the Breast Surgery Education & Recovery seminar at Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute.

My experience over the last several months with Dr. Debra Hutchins and Richmond Surgical Specialists has been commendable. From my initial consultation with Dr. Hutchins regarding my breast cancer diagnosis and through the surgery and follow up visits, everyone I have encountered in this group has been knowledgeable, supportive, compassionate and efficient. Phone calls to the office regarding questions or concerns have been returned promptly. Appointment times have been made and always carried out in a timely manner. The check in personnel are friendly and helpful. Dr. Hutchins, her nurse and support staff have instilled confidence in their ability to make decisions and handle needed procedures. It is so important to have a support team like this when life throws you a curve. I highly recommend Dr. Debra Hutchins and Richmond Surgical Specialists, LLC.
