Andrew Gutow

Clearly explained the reasons of my wrist pain in no time including the possible treatment. Very confident in his management of my case.

Dr. Gutow is perhaps the worst hand surgeon in the bay area. He operated on two fingers on my right hand. The results were disastrous. The middle finger was rendered useless. When I asked just what had happened, he looked up and sheeplessly said, "I don't know". And that was it. Such a coward, and an extremely incompetent surgeon. I took all legal steps provided, which included reporting him to PAMF's advisory board. All to no avail. Of course I was offered the opportunity to have him "repair" it. Why would I trust the person who created the problem, to fix it? Dr. Gutow is perhaps the worst hand surgeon in the bay area. He operated on two fingers on my right hand. The results were disastrous.

I don't use Yelp, or else I'd write one there. I broke my wrist prettyyyyy badly. Pretty gruesome. Had an orthopedic surgeon at Good Sam in San Jose (who was the on-call orthopedic surgeon at the ER) go in there to fix it with a single plate. Saw a doctor up in Humboldt County three weeks later for follow-up who took a look and instantly was like, "This is bad, you need to see a top hand specialist in the Bay Area ASAP." Certainly not what you want to hear. Found Gutow, who did revision surgery and inserted four plates. He probably saved usage of my right wrist/hand. I have had a lot of PT, and my mobility (primarily extension) is definitely not ideal, but at least I can use it. I can't help but wonder how things would have turned out if I had seen Gutow right away... I think I would have full mobility (basically, those four weeks of bone healing out of place before the revision surgery made them weird shaped and hard to fit back together). I did get all of the metal taken out 6 months later. Moral of the story - see the specialist right off the bat. Thanks Gutow! PS. All the complaints about wait times - the dude is just being thorough with his patients. Chill out. I don't use Yelp, or else I'd write one there. I broke my wrist prettyyyyy badly. Pretty gruesome.

The local orthopedic doctors sent me to Dr. Gutow as it was a complicated surgery. He did an amazing job. Really appreciated that he took a lot of care with my incision as it was my outer elbow. You cannot even see it!! Very through and took the time to answer all my questions before and after surgery!
