Tamie Lee Dixon-Butera

Most members of my family have seen Tamie for many, varied reasons. I have PKD and experienced horrid kidney pain before transplant. Tamie was awesome. Her knowledge of the human body and its meridians is excellent. I have and I will continue to recommend her services

I really hope this helps the provider grow as a professional, or otherwise helps other mamas leave this practice who are having similar experiences and prevents mamas from going through it. Honestly, it's hard to include all that went wrong with this doctor in the little time she deserves spent on a review. For context, my husband and I are just kind, openminded middle-class first-time parents who were looking for a doctor that didn't blindly subscribe to mainstream narratives. It’s been two months now since seeing Dr. Tamie Dixon and it was an awful healthcare experience. 1. She introduced herself at our first appt by saying she just fired two clients, then unexpectedly upcharged us an extra $50 at the end because she ran over her appointment slot (ofcourse a provider can decide who to work with but we hire our providers! we also just listened and followed her lead as the service provider who could've easily guided the discussion and ended on time). 2. She diagnosed our child with a… hemangioma but told us we were wrong for wanting to do bloodwork, genetic testing, or imaging (I love the emphasis on unnecessary interventions, but we personally wanted to make sure she didn't have hemangiomas in the liver which are common, and we wanted to see if we could learn more about why it may be happening; science is constantly evolving). She said "not sure why that's happening to your daughter but hemangiomas usually go away so just sit, wait, and see because any testing or specialist will get you no answers and be a never ending rabbit hole trust me I've went down that path before." 3. After meeting in office and having several calls, I told her I'd love to learn how PCP referrals work and if she'd refer us to WVU hematology and she exclaimed she doesn't want our child to get an MRI, isn't our child's doctor, felt the conversation was pointless, and abruptly ended the call. 4. The appointment was really disorganized: she talked about herself more than she asked questions about our daughter, absolutely not one physical exam besides height/weight which we needed to remind her to measure before leaving. 6. She was just very combative, righteous, and opinionated across the board which was worse than the arrogant, allopathic doctors we were trying to get away from. I felt our family was so genuine, respectable, curious, and definitely didn’t deserve to be condemned, made to feel inferior, gaslit, or left clueless like she did. A doctor should help you feel confident & comfortable making your own, educated decisions but we felt she projected her own experiences and opinions onto our family from the very beginning.
