Larry Nutting's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Nutting has been my son's pediatrician since the day he was born. He has been extremely helpful with all of our concerns and questions. He always takes the time to talk to us about how things are going including breastfeeding, sleep schedule, diaper rash, etc. He makes a point to check in with us (mom and dad) to make sure we are okay too as first time parents. I feel like the only reason people have given him bad reviews on here is because he's not just going to tell you what you want to hear. He's going to give you solid sound medical advice because he's a doctor and that's what he went to school for. I highly recommend Dr. Nutting.

I have had multiple interactions with this doctor and not a single good one. He doesn’t listen to my thoughts/concerns and immediately interjects with his opinion without taking the time to understand. He actually yelled at me over the phone when he failed to understand that I was asking a clarifying question and not arguing with his immediate opinion. At best he is very distant and cold- I don’t understand why he went into pediatrics if he can’t even bother to smile at a child, let alone make a little friendly conversation to put them at ease. I generally get along well with doctors and NPs and the rest of the employees at Pediatric Medical Associates have all been lovely, but this guy’s bedside manner has no place in pediatrics. I will not see him again.

Son had a arm injury on a Friday, possible broken bone. Dr. Nutting maybe said about 10 words walked out room, my son and I looked at eachother, had no clue what was going on. Dr. Nutting came back in put brace on my son's arm, gave a paper and said you can go take x-rays one of these places. So I started asking questions, he said I'll give you a call with results. I called Monday because we hadn't heard anything, office stated results are not in, called imaging and they stated Dr Nutting had results Friday and will send it again.

Arrogant and dismissive.

Dr. Nutting is very knowledgeable and decisive. I always leave the office feeling satisfied about the treatment of my infant son. Each bit of advice has been helpful and the correct path to go. Dr. Nutting takes the time to answer all of my questions. Some people mentioned poor bedside manner, but I have yet to see that. Dr. Nutting is both kind and respectful to my son and I. My family feels very lucky to found Dr. Nutting as our pediatrician.

Dr. Nutting is great. He is extremely knowledgeable and decisive. In response to other ratings, Dr. Nutting takes a second to warm up to you as he is usually examining charts and assessing the situation after walking in the door. He spends time to answer all of my questions and thoroughly checks things over. Dr. Nutting is warm and kind to my baby. I always leave the doctor’s office satisfied with the visit, comforted by the information, and confident that my baby is in good hands with the advice/treatment we are given.

Although, I have never been to this specific office in Sacramento, I was Dr. Nutting’s patient as a child at a pediatric clinic in a different city. He was wonderful, kind, observant, and helpful. My dad passed away when I was 5, and he made sure I was doing okay which was super important and meaningful to me as adults tend to get most of the check-ins when a loved one passes. He didn’t neglect the way I felt about the situation and always made me feel welcome and comfortable. The tong stickers were a plus too! Unfortunately, I had to settle with a different pediatrician when he left, but the 14 years under his care were impactful.

I have yet to have a good experience with Dr. Nutting. He is arrogant and pompous and very belittling. He was not the least bit friendly or helpful the two times I spoke with him on the phone for after hours, on-call situations. I grew up going to this practice and my mom even worked in the office when I was very young. The other doctors know me well and have been absolutely wonderful to my son, as well as the nursing and front office staff. PMA has been great and I would recommend any other doctor in this practice (the NP, Helene, is our all time favorite). Dr. Nutting, unfortunately, doesn’t meet the mold or the standards of the other physicians.

We really like Dr. Nutting. He's patient and kind. Never had a bad experience with him. The staff is kind of rude, which is a shame because both him and Dr. Lloren have been great with my 2 kids. Thorough and nice.

Rude and arrogant. I like the practice overall but will not go back to Dr. Nutting. He was belittling and ran out of the exam room as quick as he could. A disgrace to the practice.
