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.

5 star doctor
It’s so refreshing to find a doctor who listens and takes the time to really discuss what’s wrong rather than rush you through. I have never felt so good about leaving an appt as I have after seeing Dr Butler. I feel like I’m finally on the right track.

Caring and Thorough
Came in for headaches related to ear congestion. Took a bit of experimenting and patience in figuring things out, but we are well on our way. Also, he’s been a great doctor for other family members, including my elderly mom.

Functional and esthetic
As a curious patient I had a lot of questions about techniques, anatomy, CBCT, function, and esthetics. Dr Butler explained all of them and more with diagrams CBCT. I appreciate how well trained his staff and surgical team are. Initial assessment, planning, surgery, and follow-up were all smooth. Other patients in the waiting room were also impressed with their service (wait times were short)

Exemplary experience top to bottom
The kind of office visit one always hopes for but rarely experiences. Well-run, efficient office, helpful staff, prompt, thorough. This was my first appointment with Dr. Butler, and he was very much the standout physician his impeccable reputation promised.
