Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2020
My visit from the beginning was excellent, despite my issues with my shoulder. From day one, I knew I was going to be in good hands. Dr. Butzen was very helpful in helping me understand what was going on in my shoulder. He's got an excellent staff that made me feel comfortable from the beginning. It's a great thing when a patient gets a post op video of what he did to repair my shoulder. It also gave me a better understanding once I was able to see pictures and hear the feedback. I would highly recommend Dr. Butzen as a Doctor, and Surgeon. I've had three surgeries at three different hospitals, and Animas Surgical was above and beyond the other two hospitals. As far as I'm concerned, ASH is a great hospital, and so is it's staff.
