I have been in severe back and neck pain. I drove four hours to get to the Cleveland Clinic. I was seen by Dr. Butler's physician assistant. She was rude and did not seem to even care about my problems. Never got to see the doctor. The Hillcrest staff was bluntly rude and I do not plan to return.

Impatient, rude with poor listening skills, incompetent, and dangerous. These qualities resulted in my need for two emergency surgeries, one that I refused to let him perform due to his poor performance.

Dr. Butler recently performed bilateral discectomy/laminectomy on me. He guided me through the process prior to surgery and has carefully guided my post op recovery.
