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.

A doctor that really cares.
Dr. Butt has always been easy to talk to. And, he really listens. He always looks over your chart which allows him to be informed as to what you may or may not need. ie. Refills called in, vaccines needed, etc. I have been seeing Dr. Butt for over 12 years and would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Butt is an excellent internal medicine physician/PCP. You get to see him himself for every appointment. I've worked with him at Athens Regional hospital and been his patient as well. He does telehealth and in person visits.

The Office staff are ghetto low class they do not have it together at all. I had a staff member call me telling me the dr said for me to go to the emergency room. without a reason When I demanded to speak to the doctor I not only was refused but the staff member went and told the doctor a absolutely insane lie about me. I finally got ahold of dr butt and he said he would have a talk with the staff member. Smh shame on this office to allow such a disgusting human being continue working after what lies she said about me your now ex-patient dr butt.

He works for the worse of the worse at Landmark Hospital. The nursing staff are unskilled and un-educated.

I was a patient of Dr. Butt's at Landmark Hospital in Athens, Ga. If there were 10 stars' I would select 10. Dr. Butt is an incredible physician, and I wish his practice was located closer to my home. He pulled me across the finish line in a very critical illness.

I am over 60 and have had experiences with a lot of doctors of those years. When my wife and I decided to try Dr. Butt I was reluctant to leave a family practice with multiple offices, doctors and a nurse practitioner. My first visit with him blew me away. I've never had a doctor spend the time to really talk to me and ask so many questions. I appreciate his style and ability to see me when I have a concern. He is the best doctor I have ever had. Darlene (at the desk) is super too! Mike
