Dr Butler has been my son's pediatrician since the day he was born; he came to Sharp Mary Birch and…read moredid his first exams in the hospital and he has been his doctor for fifteen years now and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my special needs child. He has given me the very best medical and parenting advice and I have always found him to be nothing but kind, caring, honest, and professional. He has provided me with great referrals over the years when I've needed them and his office is very flexible with appointments when there is an illness, which is something any parent can appreciate! From the beginning I never wavered in placing my trust in Dr Butler as I have found his calm demeanor to be extremely soothing under the most stressful of circumstances. He performed my son's circumcision and helped me through his endlessly long and grueling period of infant reflux that felt eternal to me. We still joke about his history of being on the bottom of the weight percentile. Growing up in a military family I didn't have a regular doctor that I saw. Because my dad always worked in navy hospitals and clinics, often when I was sick instead of going to see a doctor, he would just have one come over to our house. I like that my son instead has the stability of growing up with the same doctor that he can trust to talk to about his medical care. I also love that Dr Butler is still working with the same nurse all these years later, Tammy. She's really awesome and gives shots super fast and gentle. Most medical offices these days have a lot of turnover, so it's a great reflection on both Dr Butler and nurse Tammy that they are still here working together all these years later. I only wish that everyone I came across in the medical community were as gentle, caring, and committed as they are because it would definitely make the world a better place.

From the moment we met her we knew our son was in the best possible care-- she takes the time to get to know her patients and their families, addresses any and every concern, and encourages parents to ask her questions. She doesn't just rush in and out of appointments but actually takes the time to talk to us, review our son's chart, and provides realistic recommendations based off of his age. She has guided us through all of our vaccination questions, introducing solids, allergies, etc.. Every time we leave a doctor's appointment, my husband and I always vocalize how fortunate we are to have Dr.Khan as our son's pediatrician. You can just tell she really, really cares. We recently had an allergy scare and Dr.Khan immediately sprung into action when we brought him in-- the team treated him so fast and absolutely prioritized his care and wellbeing. Thankfully he is okay, and she gave us clear next steps on how to treat his reaction, scheduled us an appointment with an allergist, and kept our baby in high spirits while calming our racing hearts. As first time parents, knowing our precious child is in the care of someone so exceptional is absolutely priceless. We are so grateful to have Dr.Khan as our son's pediatrician!

I was one of those that thought D.O's are just as good as an an MD... no she doesn't care about…read moreosteopathy. she didn't get into med school to become MD's for a reason. Dr. Cheffet was extremely diminishing of parental rights. She was pushy and disrespectful. And eventually threatened me if I wouldn't vaccinate my child in her practice under a vaccine schedule (that is now obsolete). Did you not get your big payout for the percentages of patients you vaccinate??? I might've messed with her percentages so she retaliated by breaking my HIPAA rights and reporting me for " negligence" to CPS. We took my son to her very regularly. He got support for every need. She doesn't respect parental rights. I wouldn't be intimidated by her. We have a medical exemption because my child has a very high allergy Profile, neurodivergent and high risk for adverse reaction.. At one point she said there was no risk in vaccinating so I said I would agree if she would sign to be Financially liable, if there were any adverse effects. of course she refused.... Hack of a "doctor". Deplorable ethics. I hope she gets the karma for all those parents. She intimidated for her big vaccine payouts. She's going out on now. I'm gonna report her to the medical board. Gross.

If you like the type of doctor that isn't in-n-out, she is the one to see. She takes time to hear out any concerns you or the patient may have and does a thorough examination in order to address those concerns. Dr. Cheffet is also very knowledgeable in sports medicine, although, she is not a sports doctor, she does know what she is talking about. She also is an Internal Medicine doctor. So, if you are looking for a doctor, come see her, she is awesome! Dr. Cheffet is no longer at this practice, but I hear she has relocated to another one still in town. If you're lucky enough to find her you won't regret it.
