She is wonderful. She’s helped me get through the last few years of work with less pain.

Dr. Butz intruded on a visit a patient was having with a nurse practitioner in the office to yell at and bully the patient. The patient was not only in a lot of pain, but he also has PTSD, is hard of hearing and had been sitting waiting to be seen for two hours. The appointment was almost over, the patient was speaking loudly (not arguing or yelling at the practitioner) because he is hard of hearing and very stressed. Patient and practitioner were doing fine (but loud) when Dr. Butz decided he had to "rescue" the other healt... read more

8/19/2019 Not at all. For a 67 yo patient, she neglected my difficulty of post spine surgery then her ablation, new lower back pain, depression & anxiety since my teen years, current osteoporosis causing more pain. She did get my medical marijuana card. She referred me to another doc that may or may not see me in November. Not only am i in great pain, no meds were prescribed for withdrawal. This practice is uncaring.

Excellent care. New office staff works hard to get you taken care of. Very professional and caring for his patients. Very knowledgeable and works with insurance companies to get prior authorizations completed quickly. Would recommend him for pain management.

I have been a patient of dr. Butz for several years now. I have degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal stenosis. He has been able to treat me with pain relief medication, physical therapy, and surgical procedures. It sometimes takes a while to see him in his office because he does take extra time with patients when they need it. He has on occasion taken extra time speaking to me about options for surgical procedures. He explains things well and completely in terms that

Dr. Schaufele methodically and conservatively managed my chronic back pain for many years. After myltiple attempts at pain management with only medication relief, he recommended a spinal cord stimulator implant. It changed my life. Dr. Schaufele continues to manage my moderate pain after slowly and patiently weaning me off of major doses of pain medicine. He is an outstanding doctor in every way. He is the consummate professional, a skilled clinician, and a responsive and warm individual.

I have been Dr Butz’s patient for 8 months & though he is professional and knowledgeable, I wonder just how long I can continue being his patient, as everything concerning logistics for treatment is a nightmare. There seems to be a lot of staff turnover & try getting a call back from their office...it’s just not going to happen. Don’t get me started on their cancellations of my appt/procedures. Overall, the office is overwhelmed and incapable of operating properly.

My husband has a broken neck that fused back together wrong. My husband called and the woman on the phone tells my husband that they need to get his referral from your doctor and they would call when they get it and schedule his appointment. 3 1/2 months later no call. I then for 2 weeks straight keep calling and the phone just rings. Found out they moved and they didn't even inform the doctors that are referring people to them that, that location is closed. 1 hour away availability Jan. NOT!!!!
