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.

42 years and still going strong
42 years ago today, Dr. Butcher was there to help me. We spent 1.5 years trying to repair 3 broken bones. The Tibia was reluctant to heal and the doctor tried everything. He was/is a great doctor, I just should have been a better patient. I kept taking my cast off myself, he wisely suggested against that but, Again, I am a bad patient. Leg is all healed and has been for 42 years of service, hopefully for 42 more. You made a difference Doc, thank you very much.

In 2001 I had a shoulder injury at work, requiring surgery and continuous therapy to regain the use of my right arm. I was treated with respect, and the surgery was done well. I commend Dr. Butcher for his knowledge of how he repaired my AC joint, as well as eliminating the large bone spur in my shoulder and arm joint. I found Dr. Butcher to be helpful, and have no complaints. Thanks to his expertise, I am able to use my right arm which I was not able before surgery.

The doctor took one X-ray and determined my daughters finger fracture is healed. He referred her to physical therapy, but we couldn't attend the therapy consultation because it is conflict with school schedules. He over charged us $998 with Level 5 exam, OPD Pro 1Hr, and 76000 Fluoroscope Exam. We didn't have and need those exams, and it is certainly overcharged.
