I can not believe that Dr. Butler still has patients. Looking back I should have sued him. I went in because I had some irritation with my toungue. He told me my wisdom teeth were infected and I must get them out immediately. Trusting him I had his office remove the teeth. Following this the recovery took weeks and I got TMJ. When I went to have a physical done for the US Air Force they took an x-ray of my mouth and discovered that several pieces of enamel were still in the extraction site as well as ALL of the root tips. I had to have a second surgery to have the bits removed. To add insult to injury they, Jerry Butler, severed the nerve in the lower left side of my jaw and the left side of my tongue is numb and I can't taste to this day which is almost 10 years later.

Seems like the staff tried to sell my son and girlfriend on every treatment possible, with zero regard for cost, emotions, or personal past. Hell, the dentist even tried to recommend vitamin supplements. Seems like they are used to being able to take advantage of college students who have to call home and get everything approved by their parents. This place is sickening, the staff are rude, and all they care about is money, trying to get 2 visits out of a cleaning, and literally prodding my son's gums til they were sore for days afterwards. Never again

I had the pleasure today of being treated by Dr. Butler. I am visiting North Carolina from Florida and had a temporary crown break. Tracy, one of Dr. Butler's staff, quickly got me an appointment. Dr. Butler was extraordinarily thorough. He took his time to explain some other dental issues that became apparent to him. He gave me a comprehensive treatment plan to follow when I return to Florida. His fee was unbelievably reasonable. If Dr. Butler was practicing in Florida, I would have no hesitancy to switching my dental care to his practice.

My husband went in to fix a broken tooth - he was happy with Butler, so I made an appointment for a cleaning because it's been 3-4 years since my last. I have good teeth, brush 2x/day and floss 2-3x/week; some gum irritation occasionally. I go in, he and his staff are very nice, they take an Xray. My only complaint is 1 filling I had done as an adult that has a rough spot - and has ever since I got the filling - he tells me after an exam that it's because I grind my teeth (That is also what he told my husband his problem was). Wrong, the filling was rough from the get-go. I also told him how I have problems with -caines that make my heart race - he told me he participated in a study that proves there's no connection with -caine numbing shots and heart/fainting issues. Strike 2. Finally, he begins his gum probe - mind you, this is before the cleaning and I have never had the dentists examine my teeth BEFORE they were cleaned - and jams that probe as far in as he can so that he can tell me my gum pockets are in terrible shape with 100% bleeding. Well, of course there's 100% bleeding when you assault my gums that way. My gums RARELY bleed when I brush or floss. The hygenist then begins her assault which I'm convinced took off some of my enamel. Then, when it's over, they try to schedule me for another appointment 2 weeks later to check the gums again. No. Thank. you. And flash forward 3 weeks later, my gums are still throbbing occasionally on one side. I personally think this guy jammed what tartar/bacteria I did have on my teeth/gums further down into my gum pockets by poking me before I had a cleaning. I will not be going back there.

I and my wife, having recently moved to the Boone area, had our initial dental appointments with Dr. Butler, and can concur, and identify with, about every comment made by all of the other 1-star reviewers. We will not be returning for second appointments.

Dr. Butler's prices are higher than any other office in Boone, I called around and checked because they assured me that they are the same or close to other offices. Dr. Butler and his wife are really good at making you feel bad about yourself especially if you cannot afford or simply say you do not want to do a "recommended procedure" I just hope that this helps someone do their research before going. Beside manners and professionalism is not happening at this place. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN.
