"Dr. Butler showed the utmost respect and understanding for me. He, for the first time in my life, did not make me feel like my weight problem was my fault. I first met him at a support group meeting and then had a appointment with him soon after. I had no doubt what-so-ever to trust this man. His staff was kind, repectful and caring. Pat went out of her way for me on several occasions and I will never forget that. I can call as much as I want and the staff does not get upset with me. My surgery is Oct. 8, 2001 and I can not wait!!! I will have more good news for you after the surgery."
