"From the Rhine to the Hudson, to the Susquehanna, and finally to the St. Lawrence River; this four river journey sums up my upbringing in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany, my 14 years as Postdoctoral Researcher, Resident in Internal Medicine, and

Fellow in Cardiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York CIty; my six years as Cardiology Attending at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown; and now as part of the Cardiology group in Potsdam," Dr. Hutter reported. "Walking along the shores at Barnhart Island and seeing the large ships approaching the lock station brought back childhood memories of seeing large barges on the Rhine float by."

"My move to the North County can be summed up with the last verses of Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken: 'I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference,'" he said.

Dr. Hutter has published multiple research papers on cardiovascular disease, and has been the recipient of science awards.

As a cardiologist, Dr. Hutter has expertise in all areas of adult cardiology, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, adult congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and preventive cardiology.
