Not sure what to say?

Like many others, I too am so very saddened by Dr. Nutley's death. He was truly a cut above the rest. He was never too busy and always made me laugh, particularly when he would plop down on his swivel chair very casually and tell me how busy things were. I surely knew I was in the best hands possible, whether for surgery or an office visit. I also knew without a doubt, when I recommended him to someone, that they would receive the very best care anywhere. No one was ever...

Dear Nutley Family:

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Nutley's passing. I have been a patient of his for a few years now, and he was by far my favorite doctor! I had such trouble with my sinuses for so long, saw so many doctors with no answers....and then Dr. Nutley came along :) I was told he was the BEST, and he most definitely was. He instantly took an active interest in getting me well, and he did just that. I will forever be grateful to him, and feel very blessed to have known...

I have waited many days to write this because my heart is broken as I know many are...when I was little the first time I saw Dr. Nutley I thought he looked liked a God and that he was going to be someone whom was really going to help me. I had seen alot of doctors but I never had that feeling that I got from him. I of course became his patient and he did do many procedures on me and he was the one that made me look like a real person with ears unlike those of Dopey or Dumbo that many kids...

Nancy & family,
I will forever remember that smile of Peter's. He was my friend, my doctor and my mixed doubles partner on the tennis court. There were many times when I knew that he probably didn't want to flash that big ole smile at me, (after blowing that volley) but he always did. His kindness and zest for life showed in every aspect of his life. He will be missed by many, even those of us who didn't see him very often.

Nancy, please know that your friends are here for you...

My mother, my sister and I would like to thank you for your kind and gentle words. They have brought us comfort in our sorrow. We thank you for honoring my father.

Hearing the sad news of Dr. Nutleys' passing, knocked the wind out of me.
As a patient, you think doctors are supposed to be invincible. Certainly Dr. Nutley was. After all, he was my Superman, with Super Powers.
(Isn't that what that shiney, silver disc on his forehead, was all about?)
We all know he had magic power in his hands. Every time I look in the mirror, I see Dr. Nutleys' Magic staring back at me.
Thank you for your gift that touched so many.
For over 30 years you...

I worked for one of Dr Nutley's associates years ago...and later became a patient of his. I can't forget Dr Nutley's smile, how generous he was with his time and encouragement, and his passion for life. My condolences to Nancy and the children, his extended family, Stephanie, Cheryl, and the others who knew and loved Dr Nutley!

Dear Nancy and Family, I was so sorry to hear about Buddy's illness and passing. I hope that you will find some comfort in your wonderful family and the children. With Great Sympathy, Celeste Cinquino

I am not a man of many words but feel the need to tell this story. Upon finding I had stage 4 squamous cell cancer that spread to my lymph nodes in my neck, I confided in my sons neurosurgeon from CRS, Dr. Manwaring who saved my sons life many times. He said if I were you I would go see Dr. Peter Nutley he is the BEST! Turns out my son knew him from crs many years ago. While other Drs couldn't find the primary source of my cancer Dr. Nutley was able to on the very far back of my tongue and...
