Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is an amazing doctor but her younger staff is rude and lazy. The younger staff never picks up the phone when she is in office nor calls hospitals for your urgent appointments that Dr Butter needs from you.

Anyone to give her less that 5 stars is crazy. She's an amazing Doctor. She speaks to you as a person and listens. I think we need more people like her. Her staff is awesome as well.

Dr Butter has been my doctor for about ten years. She is so easy to talk with, and always spends plenty of time with me. I have been able to get an ASAP appointment when needed. As a Registered Nurse for 30+ years, I have been in contact with many physicians over the years, and she is truly a "Top Doc". I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and caring PCP.

I have been to see Dr. Butter at least five times now between her office and hospital stay. She has been very professional and pays close attention to my problem. She has been a big help to me with my medical problems.

Dr. Butter is someone I have seen about 10 times. Finally decided her beside manner simply does not match with my personality; I am going through the effort to change doctors. It was easy to schedule with her, maybe because she is not in high demand. Major turn over in her staff, for the better, but Dr. is sometimes too conservative and have found better medical help with Minute Clinic. Felt as if I gave her a lot of copays for nothing. Tried to manage my issues when I needed a specialist.
