My family and I are newcomers to Dr. Butler's dental office, and today was my first visit/cleaning. Monica at the front desk was kind and detail-oriented; Jamie, the oral hygienist, was fastidious, conversational and so kind; and Dr. Butler was warm, polished and professional. The facility has been completely renovated, the equipment is new and the focus is firmly on the patient. It's refreshing to step into a practice that delivers 360-degree care, and I can't recommend Butler Family Dentistry enough.

Over the past few months, Dr. Butler has replaced/done several fillings, done a couple root canals, installed a couple of crowns, dealt with two abscesses, and installed a new bridge to replace my old one Her work is outstanding. She has a deft touch which eliminated any anxiety I'd normally have with dental work (I almost fell asleep in the chair on two different occasions). She explains what she's doing as she works and answers, clearly and succinctly, any questions I have regarding whatever dental procedure she was performing on me I could not ask for any better dentist. I highly recommend her to you

Dr. Butler and her staff are amazing! Monica at the front desk is friendly and helpful. Jaimie took her time cleaning my teeth, while explaining everything she was doing and giving helpful tips; she was so sweet! Everyone there takes their time with you and I get the impression that they truly care about their patients. We just found our new family dentist!
