Testimonials
"I found Dr. Lutton very personable and easy to talk to. He walked me through my MRI images in a very easy to understand manner and made it clear what my options for treatment are without any pressure to choose right away. Highly recommended but give yourself plenty of time to find parking because spots close to the office were all taken already."
"I had my shoulder replacement surgery with Dr. Lutton just 3 months ago, and the results are amazing. The arm and the shoulder feel practically new, and my arm can now move without pain as many years ago when it was a normal healthy arm. And I experienced virtually no pain in the days after surgery because of a special nerve block. Also, Dr.Lutton supported me during the recovery time with his helpful emails answering my questions almost instantly. Thank you, Dr. Lutton, you are the best!"
"Saw Dr. Lutton for a high-grade AC joint/ shoulder separation. I'd already seen two other shoulder specialists in the area -- one who does open AC reconstruction but not arthroscopic, and another who does arthroscopic but only addresses vertical (coracoclavicular) stability without the horizontal (acromioclavicular) component. Neither offered the full combined approach. Based on my visit, Dr. Lutton appears extremely well-versed in both CC and AC stabilization techniques for Grade III through Grade V shoulder separations, including constructs like the Arthrex TightRope, Dog Bone, and AC cerclage systems. He is highly experienced with advanced arthroscopic/ arthroscopic-assisted approaches. You may not find this on his website or public profile -- I learned it by asking directly. He spent 30-40 minutes one-on-one walking through every MRI slice and X-ray with a physical shoulder model in hand, did a thorough physical exam, and answered every question. Ultimately he recommended against surgery in my case and explained why. If you are looking for a shoulder specialist who intimately understands the current literature on combined CC + AC reconstruction, he's one of the best. One of the most thorough and professional physician visits I've had. Thank you!"
"Dr. Lutton came highly recommended by both a friend and my doctor. He did not disappoint. My shoulder surgery was successful and physical therapy is going according to plan. My initial consult was thorough and I came away understanding the plan. Pre-surgery I had questions and he was completely accessible; especially by email. This access continued post-surgery and the physical therapist I picked off his list was well-vetted and is superb. I have already recommended Dr. Lutton to a friend in need of similar surgery."
"When you enter this office it is always peaceful and quiet. The front desk staff and nurse are friendly. I have never had to wait. Dr. Lutton is polite and very friendly. He put you at ease . He asks questions about what brought you into the office and discusses what should be the next step. He is an expert in his field. I also appreciate that x-rays are taken right in the office. I have been going to Dr. Lutton for over 10 years."
"David is an incredible Surgeon. And his work didn't stop with the surgery. He's been very helpful in managing my rehab rehabilitation, and And I'm on the path of being stronger than I have been in years. On top of that, he lead to great team. Valerie could not have been more helpful. I would give them more than five stars if I had the options! John Jameson"
"Dr. Lutton has provided excellent care. He has patiently answered all questions and his staff has been very upbeat and helpful as well.I was referred to him by two personal friends who have had shoulder replacements with him and they had excellent outcomes. At 6 weeks post surgery I am doing well and on track to a similar result. I would recommend him highly."
"Dr. Lutton replaced my shoulder 3 yrs ago and I had no problems whatsoever. I recently fractured my arm and he saw me Right away. I'm due for follow up next week. He is definitely one of the best docs I have!"
