I was impressed with Dr Butt. He took the time to know something about me before he entered the exam room. He was genuinely interested in my career and thanked me for my service. His physical exam was pertinent and his discussion with me of my condition was thorough and useful.

He was very attentive and personable. I would definitely recommend to everyone I know. Great bedside manner. He was also great with my mother that needed a pacemaker. Very caring man.

Dr. Butts was highly recommended but when I recurved care from him, it was clear his bedside manner was for only certain patients. I had questions about medication and a holster monitor and symptoms I've been have for the better part of this year. He didn't answer my medication questions and I had to ask him to look at my halter monitor results. I felt rushed and dismissed. All he did was tell me to start losing weight and to get the surgery even though Bariatric surgery isn't even in my health plan. I left the appointment still confused and my symptoms are still present and as bad as ever. Wouldn't recommend him. I'll be going to a different hospital for an evaluation.

I really liked Dr. Butt. He was warm and welcoming to my mother while hearing me as I directed the care conversation. A strong cardiologist in both knowledge and bedside manner. I've had other cardiologist in other systems who were great at the heart medicine and less great at the whole patient assessment and interaction. I think Dr. Butt is a "catch" in the cardiologist world given his patient interaction skills.

I called to schedule the appointment with Dr. Butt and was given a time 3 months out. I reached out to my other cardiologist to confirm that the timeline was appropriate for my issue. I received a call from Dr. Butt's office within 24 hours and was rescheduled to the following day. The person helping me was patient and kind on both calls.

It was very interactive, with Dr. Butt asking me what I wanted to do about my condition. When we discussed the procedure, he was able to explain in enough detail to reassure me, but not so much detail that it overwhelmed me. He was patient and helpful and encouraging.
