Michael D Butcher, MD

I saw Dr Butcher for my back problem, extreme pain. He ordered and MRI, and suggested that when I return, that I get a cortisone injection. when I came in to get the results, all he said is that I have a bad back, «really?». To make matters worse, when he was about to give me the injection, he asked me where I wanted it. Who is the doctor here? I told him that I was still feeling pain and he said to come back in six weeks. I tried to get him to go over the results with me, and he pretty much dismissed me. I am going to another dr, and when I went by his office to get my MRI dvd, the receptionist had a hard time in giving it to me, had to tell her that it was mine. He was horrible.

Dr. Butcher has been my doctor for the past 11yrs. He is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. Thumbs up to Dr. Butcher and his friendly staff.

Dr. butcher has been my doctor for the past two years and i can not express how much he has done for me and how much i love and trust him… he really listens and really wants to help you and he will in any way possible…
I have been the mystery case for the past few years with almost all of the doctors i have seen for my back. especially the doctors in LA (horrible)… But doctor butcher follows up and is working with two other doctors to make sure that until we can figure out what is going on that i am as comfortable as possible…
Over the weekend i actually totaled my car and had to be taken to the hospital, and I am so thankful that doctor Butcher came to the hospital as well. he got there before my parents. he talked to the police officer to explain my back pain, the doctors, and he was able to calm my mother down before she was able to see me. He is a great caring doctor and will not give up. Very thankful to have him in my life as one of my doctors. and everyone at there office is great always have a warm welcoming !

I have the right to bash him! He convinced me that I needed a knee replacement. After the surgery, I was in horrible pain and required alot of pain medication. My family and I started to notice that my knee was one way and my foot was another. CLEARLY the prosthetic was put in wrong. I tried to convince him multiple times that I was deformed. He wrote me off as a drug addict.
Through a second opinion at Stanford Orthopedics, it was determined that the prosthetic was 15 degrees off center. They had to take it out and place a new one in. I literally lost a year of my life.
Public records show that he and his partner have had multiple malpractice suits against them. The highest in the County.
Please do no go here. Let my losing a year of my life weigh on your decision
