Dr. Butler has been my OBGYN for more than 18 years, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She always makes me feel like family and takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns. Her kindness, compassion, and thoughtful advice have always made me feel supported and cared for. She also helped bring my second daughter into this world, which makes her even more special to our family. I deeply appreciate her dedication to helping me make the best decisions for my health. I am very grateful to have such an amazing doctor.

BEEN GOING TO DR BUTLER FOR MANY YEARS. When I called for a refill on prescription she said she doesn't prescribe that yet has prescribed for me for hormonal migraines for many years. I'm now stuck with horrible migraines and have to establish a new relationship with a different practice. I may be stuck going to the ER because I'm in so much pain. Very disappointing. READ YOUR RECORDS!!!!!

Dr. Butler himself is empathic and competent. His office staff are neither. First, they failed to bill insurance, leading to a hefty bill, which was promptly paid. Once they finally received the insurance adjustment—they refused to refund the overage. If it weren't for Dr. Butler, this would be a 1-star review. Even so, never returning.

I am an 81 year old woman. I had an appointment on Monday Oct. 31st with Dr. Butler at 10:00am. After I was taken to the examine room, a nurse helped me to half undressed. I waited on the examine table for half an hour. Several times, my son asked for the doctor. Finally, when she came, my back was so sore, I could not be on that position any more. And, I left the office without examine. The wait was SO long, and it would have been classy if the doctor had said "Sorry" "Today is busy"! She said nothing!
