Mar, 27 2026Over all, I think she did a good job of my exam time. She did seem a little rushed, trying to move quickly through my appointment time. But that is probably because she has to see so many patients in a certain amount of time.

Jan, 13 2026She absolutely tries to accommodate for anything you could possibly have a need for and does not stop figuring out ways to help your problems. At this last visit she prescribed a new medication that even endocrinologist and other specialty doctors didn't even think of doing for a separate problem I had that was not part of my visit, and it was so simple. When I go here I know solutions will be found out to what I need to be healthy and happy 100%.

Sep, 2 2025Dr. Sutherland is one of the very best doctors I have ever worked with. As someone with several chronic health conditions, it is easy for me to feel like my health is out of control and like losing weight would be impossible. Dr. Sutherland has always been very encouraging, non-judgmental, and treats me as a whole person, and not as a single condition. I didn't want to pursue bariatric surgery at this time as I'm still overcoming other health issues that could get in the way of recovery, but with her, and her team's help, in a little over 18 months I have lost over 15% of my total body weight. I feel like my weight loss is sustainable, realistic, and specifically tailored to me. I can not thank her enough for her continued support and compassionate care, and I truly would recommend her to anyone I know.

Jul, 22 2025Dr Sutherland was extremely helpful. I am transitioning back onto Terzepitide after a month sabbatical while recovering from knee surgery. She is extremely compassionate and very knowledgeable. We came up with a solid plan including starting dose, nutritional guidelines, and plans for future lab tests. Dr Sutherland's guidance and my successful weight loss led to a very successful knee replacement surgery. Im very grateful for her guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing bariatric care.
