I respect Dr. Butt. He is very knowledgeable. He listens to what you say and actually reads patient's files. I would definitely recommend him.

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. Refills called in, vaccines needed, ect. I have been seeing Dr. Butt for over 12...

Outstanding customer experience all around. From the easy online scheduler, to the text messages with links to upload information to the virtual consult. Really enjoy the ease of the appointments as well as the quality of medical care/advice.
