Amazing Dr who truly cares about his patients and their success

Dr. Dutson is kind and he and his whole team are responsive and caring! They are not judgemental but are truly concerned with their patients health and success. I had support the entire time on this weight loss journey. I would encourage anyone considering bariatric surgery to make an appointment at UCLA with Dr. Dutson. I live a considerable distance in L.A. traffic and the commute was well worth the care I received and continue to receive.

I am so happy that I was referred to Dr Dutson and his team at UCLA for my bariatric surgery.From the first visit to surgery and post op I always felt I am in great hands. I was not nervous about my surgery at all, thanks to the expertise of Dr Dutson and his fabulous team at UCLA. 4 months post op and down 71 pounds so far

From the beginning he was kind, patient and informative. He even helped my husband understand and not be negative regarding my decision to have the stomach sleeve surgery. Everyone was helpful and answered all my questions.

I had a terrific experience with Dr. Dutson and his entire team. They were responsive, answered all of my questions, and provided terrific care throughout the experience. I never thought I would lose the weight-- and I did! I went from an exhausted size 26, to an energetic size 12. Most importantly, I've been given the tools and support to adapt to a whole new lifestyle.

Dr. Dutson is the best doctor I have ever had. He has a great bedside manner. He explained everything to you step by step. He has a wonderful staff that's with you every step of the way. During each meeting I felt he listened to me, answered all my questions, gave me insight that I didn't know about the surgery and most importantly he made me feel very comfortable.

Dr. Dutson is the most soft spoken man I have ever met. During each meeting I felt he completely listened to me, answered all my questions, gave me insight that I didn't know about the surgery and most importantly he made me feel very comfortable. He has the greatest team of Assisting Surgical staff, nurses and nutritionist standing beside him. Dr. Dutson and his team are genuine medical professionals. I am confident he will look after each & every patient with knowledge & compassion

Dr.Dutson was my surgeon for gastric sleeve surgery. He was precise, to the point, and completely honest in all facets of the process. I felt so comfortable with him during our initial meeting, and subsequent appointments. I felt ready and prepared with all the information provided for my surgery, which has led to a successful result.

I am so lucky to have found Dr. Dutson at U.C.L.A. for my bariatric surgery. He is the best of the best. He and his staff are dedicated to patient education, patient health, and lasting long-term results. In 2 months I have lost 30 lbs.--- I was able to discontinue blood pressure meds -- and my blood tests for diabetes are normal. Feels like a miracle.

Dr. Dutson is awesome! He made me feel very relaxed about the procedure, and was very proactive in my care both in and out of the hospital. He encouraged me to ask questions and understand the procedure before having it done. I am so happy with him and my results!
