Excellent experience!
Dr. Buterbaugh is everything you want in a physician. I’m super comfortable with her and couldn’t be more pleased with the results of her work.
Dr. Buterbaugh has provided me with excellent analysis and medical care for my current orthopedic issue. Dr. B. explained very clearly the treatment choices available to me including medication and/or surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Butterbaugh to everyone! PS: also very friendly and pleasant.
The doctor was very nice and very informative. I liked her personality. I didn’t have to wait like you usually do at a doctor’s office. Everyone in the office was so nice.
Takes her time, listens, thorough, personable. Can’t say enough good things about her.
