Staff was rude and doctor was more concerned with flirting with me than caring for my child. He was completely wrong with his diagnosis and I had to take another day off work to see another doctor who correctly diagnosed my child in 5 minutes......it was worth it because my son is now being taken care of properly.

Exceptional! Truly a Blessing from the moment my son (Scotty) was born. Literally within minutes after birth Dr Butchko was summoned and was there to tend to Scotty. That was six years ago. Dr Butchko has been a vital part of Scotty's treatment of Nunez Disease ever since. Even to the point of coming to the ER on a few occasions when he was off, to make sure Scotty was getting the proper treatment for his condition. After undergoing open heart surgery when Scotty was 8months old, Dr Butchko visited with us and stayed in contact with us at home to make sure everything was ok. Dr Butchko is an all around great person and has been a Blessing to me and my family.
