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.

The environment (waiting room/lobby and two separate rooms) is luminous, quiet and very clean. The clinic feels so safe and relaxing with gentle music, low lights, plants and orchids, yet Jason's healing options are extremely effective: acupuncture of course but also stretching, massaging, craniosacral therapy and herbal remedies. Jason also uses various oils and ointments, plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, pads and heat lamps to adjust you perfectly on the table. Acupuncture helped me so much with my nerve pains (wrist, back, shoulder) and chronic pelvic pain when nothing else worked. I love to learn more about my own body and ways to take control of my own health and Jason is extremely knowledgeable without being intimidating. It is nice to have access to this level of care in our community, with a health professional who really take the time to be fully present with each person. Jason is a kind, passionate practitioner, who is extremely skilled and listens to your needs to work out the best healing plan for you.
