The doctors here are great, but I've been a patient at this place for over 20 years, and it seems lousy to make a loyal patient get in the back of the line, just because he's been healthy for longer than Sentara thinks is acceptable. How many businesses--and face it, that's what these guys are now--punish past customers for taking longer than three years to make a return visit? Still no reading material in the waiting room, by the way, except for the DNR and a Bible.

Due to the sheer incompetence of this staff, we are consulting a medical malpractice attorney. This "doctor" may spend all of 2-3 minutes on average with us, does not listen to patients, does not correctly remember / state patient history even though it's in the records she's reading from, extremely dismissive of any questions by patient, absolutely will not discuss alternative medicines from the ones she wants to prescribe ($$ kickbacks?), has actually walked out in the middle of a patient conversation to not return (inexcusable!), long waits after scheduled appointment times (regularly 1hr +), sent a patient home from multiple visits when regularly complaining of stomach / lower pelvic / leg pain informing that it's just cramps/gas (no testing performed), when in reality, it was cancer!, sent a patient back home who experienced what is believed to be several TIA strokes with absolutely no tests / instruction or follow up!, and the list actually goes on and on! Visit this lady at your own peril. If all you need is someone to prescribe an antibiotic when you have a minor infection, she's probably capable, but if you want someone who can actually listen, comprehend, and evaluate your complaints/concerns while considering your medical history, and then takes action based on the findings, this is not the person to visit.

Here is what happened to me today, 28 February, 2023L When I made an appointment by phone for an eye exam two weeks ago, I specifically asked how much it would cost. I was told by the very friendly voice of "Wally" that it would be $189.00 He then asked me if I had Medicare and supplemental insurance. I said yes, and then asked how much of that Medicare would pay. He said 80% if I had met my deductible. I went ahead and made an appointment. I called back a second time and asked Wally to confirm that it would be $189. He confirmed. When I showed up today for the appointment I asked Wally again how much it will be. For a third time he said $189, and I gave him my Medicare and insurance cards. After doing this and before going in for the exam I thought I had better confirm the price one more time because I didn't want to get stuck with a surprise bill. This time he said that it will be $189 "If you pay in cash today" and $249. "if you use Medicare," and you have to pay today $79.00 for "non-payment service." I protested, saying that he didn't tell me all this the two times I talked with him on the phone or when I asked him the first time when I came today for the appointment. He denied everything. This is the typical "Bait and Switch" tactic. I asked to see Dr. Crowder because I wanted to register my complaint with her. She came out and sat down with me, but explained that it was $189. "if I paid cash," but $249. "if I used Medicare." I said I was not told that until just now. It didn't make any difference. I said I would post a review. She asked me if I would report it to Medicare. I said I would. As a taxpayer, I do not believe it is fair to charge one amount for a cash price and a higher price to Medicare. BEWARE! Paul M.

Ultimately, I was very disappointed with my experience with Butchart. On my first visit that was…read moresupposed to be 90 minutes but lasted less than 60 minutes, he diagnosed me with a genetic heart defect after asking me if I had a family member die of a heart attack. I was told to take Folate for this genetic heart defect. While this was a red-flag for me, I was still hopeful. He also prescribed me supplements for my condition prior to lab testing because he knew the problem and told me that I would be feeling better in less than two weeks. In fact, he told me that I would be feeling so good that I could stop taking my prescribed medicine (another red-flag). Please note that only the lab tests are covered by insurance (but see below) and the company that does the lab testing also provides the supplements that cannot be found elsewhere. After six months, and not feeling better (and actually getting worse due to one of his special formula mixes that he insisted I continue taking because, as he indicated, sometimes you get worse before you get better) he indicated I should have the lab tests done again. Well, the insurance company rejected being told to pay for the lab tests again and Butchart said he would work out a special deal with me and I could pay him $300 (or so) directly -- hmm (if I recall correctly, the company that does the lab testing charges the insurance company ~$2000 for the lab testing). Well, I told him I was not interested in investing another $300 in lab testing from the same company who provides the supplements that were supposed to make me feel better right away. When I told him this, he stopped communicating with me. Overall, I feel Butchart does a nice job of communicating with his patients by e-mail (notice that he directly e-mails the patient). But he also acts as if he knows everything while speaking badly of all other doctors as ignorant of how things really work in the mind and body. When things do not improve, as in my case, he is simply done and is not interested in trying to figure out another solution that works for both the patient and himself. Ultimately, I left poorer and no better off than when I first entered his practice.
