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.

Simply and Outstanding Doctor
Dr. Butler is simply a great all around doctor. He has a great personality and is easy to work with for any medical issues/visits. He used to work in the Pittsboro office and was always my favorite to visit. He always goes the extra mile for you during his diagnosis and is always engages his patients with a fantastic personality.

I have been a patient of dr. Butler's for several years now. He is the best doctor that I have ever had. He has a vast knowledge of all aspects of medical care. He takes the time to figure out how to help you. He is helped me many times not go to the hospital because of my medical problems. He has been so much help and I really appreciate it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Butler now for a little over 3 years. Dr. Butler is and has been by far the very best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have placed my trust in him for all of my health issues and he has treated me with compassion and respect. He is very thorough. He will research and diagnose and treat any ailments or health issues you may have. I really enjoy going to the doctor now! Do yourself a favor and call his office to get and appointment!! Jimmy L. Gregory

I am a new patient of Dr. Butler's. I was very pleased with both my visit's. Dr. Butler was thorough gathering information about my medical history, he has excellent communication skills and he made me feel like he was really listening...and not rushing me. He is doing a great job figuring out what the next step will be in my care and I just want to thank him and his staff for a job well done!

Dr Butler takes care of both of my boys. He does a superb job and the boys love him. He knows exactly how to work with them and is always available when I need him. I drive out of my way just to keep him as their doctor. I wouldn't trade him for anyone!! You can't go wrong with him!

Doctor Butler showed more ability to understand and diagnose my symptoms than any other doctor I have ever seen. He takes the time to work with you on solutions, instead of just pushing pills. Very kind and sensitive person.
