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.

Best ophthalmologist in town!!!!

The only good thing I can say about my experience with Dr. Butler is that his staff are all wonderful. Dr. Butler, however, lied to us, withheld information and totally messed up my eyesight. I went in for cataract surgery. It took 2 surgeries to do one eye and now what little I can see out of that eye is all wavey. I am now going to a different Dr. who is going to try to repair what is possible. The pupil in that eye is permanently fully dilated. There is no repair for that. He installed a different lens than he had told us would be put in. I have lost my distance vision. When I asked him why he had not told us that my pupil was permanently dilated he said he was sure he had but "it is complicated and you probably didn't understand". We felt insulted! I am sure if he had said "your pupil is permanently dilated:" we would have both understood what that meant!! I would not recommend him at all.

Had fair to good eyesight prior to seeing Dr Butler. He recommended cataract surgery for each eye. Left eye did fine.”complications” with rt eye. Resulting in permanently blurred vision. Took 3+ weeks to be able to read the E on the eye chart. Dr blamed me”for”moving” although sedated. Iris “flipped out”. Had trouble getting it back in. Pupil in that eye now permanently irregular. Dr was evasive & rude following surgery. Accepted NO responsibility. Would definitely NOT recommend.
