The kindest, nicest, sweetest, and most caring doctor I’ve ever met. So professional and knowledgeable.
Dr. Buterbaugh repaired my right-shoulder rotator-cuff tear in July, and two issue involving my left hand two weeks ago. The results of both surgeries were excellent.
Very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor. Took time explaining procedures and recovery time. Highly recommend!
Excellent !
Great Doctor, so glad I made the two hour drive to be her patient
Dr. Buterbaugh has a great bedside manner. She explains the procedure well and her follow up is great. She has done two surgeries for me and I highly recommend her!
She has a wonderful "bedside" manner and takes the time to explain things in terms the average person can understand.
Had to wait an hour but really liked the Dr.
Everyone in office,,was courteous and respectful
Dr Buterbaugh seems genuinely excited and passionate about her work. I had a pretty major shoulder surgery with a long recovery and she's been confident and informative every step of the way.
