That provider was exceptionally good. He knows his work in the medical field and he is a very good provider. He was recommended to me by a patient who saw him and I recommend him 10. He is very good explaining and spending time with you and seeing everything that's bothering you and he, you know, he sent for all the tests. He sent me for all the blood work. He is doing everything. I would rate him 10. He's the best.

I like my GI specialist. He listens attentively. I do hate that he has to type and listen at the same time. MGB has taken away the patient first. Eye contact is always important and not a screen but that is with all of MGB practices. A lot can be said for eye contact.

[redacted] He doesn't look at you. All he does is type into his computer. He was very late for my virtual appointments. He's so overwhelmed he didn't get to read my notes. He didn't know anything about my medical history and it was extremely important to me because I've been fighting uterine cancer for two years and I find him overwhelmed and he doesn't even look at you when he talks to you. He's just so busy typing in the computer and I don't know, I don't think it's him. I think it's the system. I think he's totally overwhelmed and he can't respond to patients. [redacted]

Dr. Mutinga was wonderful. He was very comfortable to talk with, took time to listen to all my questions and his responses were very informative and based on current research. I felt much better positioned to make good decisions about my conditions. He made sure that I knew I could communicate with him thru the patient portal and he would respond. I felt very much supported. His closing comment, "We will take care of you." meant a lot to me.

He is an amazing doctor and care giver. I realize his schedule is very tight but he never, ever makes me feel rushed or that he is not focused entirely on me and my health. He offered many possible solutions and ideas, knew me and my information even though I have only seen him 3 times, he is incredibly and personally responsive on the portal to questions and concerns. It is a long wait, but worth the wait.

I've been working with Dr. Mutinga for many years. When my GI specialist left B&W for another position, I read reviews of the remaining B&W GI specialists. Dr. Mutinga received stellar reviews as a doctor but in some ways, more importantly, because of his caring manner.
