If you want the truth, he'll give it to you. He's personable, kind, and compassionate. I've known him about 14yrs and he has always treated me with respect and dignity. He can help you if you are willing to receive and comply. Dr. Butler is a "real" person and knows his stuff.

Dr. Butler has been my psychiatrist for the last 10+ years. He is an excellent doctor because he always has his patients' well-being at heart. He is patient and caring, and listens to his patients. I have only ever had one other doctor who could measure up to Dr. Butler's standard of care. I would recommend him unreservedly.

It surprises me to hear so many negative comments about Dr.Butler. He was my psychiatrist during my stay at Windmor for addiction recovery. He isn't the type of doctor that just gives you some pain-killers or benzo's and sends you out the door. He seemed concerned, knowledgeable, and totally capable of PROPERLY addressing my medical needs. I admit he always seemed a little side-tracked, but he is a busy guy. He is not a people-pleaser, but he is a good doctor. He gave me the treatment and advice I needed, not wanted. ,
