In patients' words
"I would absolutely recommend Dr. Veale to anyone in need of an orthopedic specialist. The care he provides is personal. He remembers who you are—you’re not just a number."
— Starr Regional Medical Group patient testimonial"He treated me like I was some kind of drug addict… no clue why since I’m not. It was ridiculous and I will never go back."
— Healthgrades patient review (Dr. Michael Veale)"Dr. Hutcheson did my cervical spine fusion surgery in 2013 and Total Knee Replacement in 2016. He is very understanding, compassionate, but no-nonsense. He is not knife happy. He cares about his patients."
