Dr. Bryon G Butts, DPM

The Best Podiatrist 🦶 He has patience, and the expertise in his field. I was in alot of pain at one point and then he cured me with treatments. Thank you Dr Butts

This doctor is incompetent. Don't go to him, even if he is the only podiatrist with available appointments for months. Not worth the risk and he can't be trusted. Its taken me a long time to write this review because I struggled with my foot for so long after his mistakes. I went to him in July 2023 to talk me through options for managing foot pain (plantar fasciitis) ahead of my wedding in Italy which was happening in 9 days. While I was sitting in the patient chair, with my shoes off, asking about steroid shots, risks, benefits, etc, he went ahead and gave me the shot. He didn't formally ask for my consent, he didn't have me sign anything, he didn't do an ultrasound to guide the needle. I learned later that Podiatrists ALWAYS use ultrasound to guide a needle in the foot. But he didn't bother. I asked him clearly, "What are the risks of the shot? What are the chances my pain will get worse?" And he replied "There are no risks" and proceeded to give me the shot before I had a chance to consent. What he did to me was wrong. As a result of this Doctors mistakes I suffered so much and it completely ruined my wedding. I had increased pain (10x worse than before shot). For two days after the shot I couldn’t even move my middle two toes. I couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes without tonnes of pain- even two weeks after the shot. And, I literally couldn’t walk more than 100 steps the week of my wedding. I was on so many painkillers just to get through. It was a nightmare. Every time I stepped down on my foot it felt like a huge bundle of nerves was being stepped on. Here is the photo of the bruise. At night I would wake up to nerve pain and pangs in my foot. The night before my wedding I was up at 2 am crying because of the pain, and because I knew I wouldn't be able to walk properly or dance at my own reception. It took my 1 year for the nerve pain caused by the misguided steroid shot to heal. There is no cure for nerve pain - the nerves have to regrow and heal on their own. It took me another 5 months to strengthen the foot muscles. Here is a picture of the bruise of my foot caused by his misguided steroid shot. Remember that a steroid shot is SURGERY. DO NOT LET THIS DOCTOR NEAR YOUR FEET. I wish I had never trusted this doctor. Don't trust his fancy Harvard degrees or his office, or go for the convenience - he has so many open appointments. Not worth it. Ruined my wedding as I couldn't even walk. :(

I believe you should leave a medical visit feeling better (even if it’s psychologically) than you did when you arrived. That was certainly the case for me today. I cannot say enough about the quality of care I received from Dr. Butts and his staff. X-rays were done on the spot and I have a good treatment plan. I appreciate the professionalism and thoroughness of care I received. I am picky about my healthcare - this is a strong recommend!

Dr. Butts is truly amazing at what he does. He’s passionate and patient. His bedside manners are impeccable. He took time to listen, explained and made sure you understood your options/treatment. His front desk staff is also amazing. So welcoming and warm. I would highly recommend him if you’re ever in need of his service

I went to see Dr. Butts for an ankle injury and was very pleased with my experience. Dr. Butts is knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to. After several weeks of treatment my ankle is good as new. Dr. Butts and his assistant, Vicky really get to know their patients and my weekly visits for treatment were always pleasant. They offer easy scheduling as well!
