Unfortunately Dr. Blair Butterfield left the practice but he was still an awesome doctor for me with a good bedside manner and yet firm about leading a healthier life. I now have a PA who truly cares for my health and I couldn't be more happy with the highest level of care a person can receive. Optima medical care is top notch medical care in my opinion. They take the time to listen, make a plan, and follow through with the care that is in your best interest. I couldn't be more happy with my current care. Kudos to my PA (Allysa Mull) whom I hope to keep for the rest of my natural life with 5 /5 star care . Thank you all who work for Optimal Medical care where Blair Butterfield set this medical facility up for success when he retired. read more

Horrible. As others have said they make you schedule an appointment for everything. Even medication refills. I recently called dr Butterfield at 7pm since he was on call as i was finding lots of blood in my stool. Really freaked me out and with Covid going on I didn't want to just run to the ER. Wanted to get his opinion first. He never called me back not even the next day even tho I left him a detailed message. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Also I was recently in a car wreck and asked if i could make an apt to make sure I'm ok and was told "we don't deal with auto accidents" like ok...can you still do a check up on me and make sure I'm fine ? What a joke this place needs to be shut down. read more

Awesome service always there to help. I have made short notice visits if they can fit me in they will.

I have had my fair share with doctors over the years and was always turned off by the turn and burn practices of most offices. Most doctors overbook and don't spend time with most patients because they are either behind or are just trying to get as many patients in for the day as possible. So needless to say, I haven't been to keen on going to any doctor let alone a new one when I moved to San Tan Valley, My girlfriend recommended Options Medical because she knew my experiences with other doctors. Not to mention I need a doctor that I feel like listens and has my best interests at heart. I have yet to see Dr Butterfield but so far that was by choice. I have been seeing Crystal for all of my appointments so far and she has been absolutely fantastic. My first visit she explained their method for the practice. They spend as much time as a patient needs for their appointment. While you might get in 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, you will always leave feeling like they have answered every question you have and only after they have explained every test result, treatment plan, and blood work results. I have felt 100% comfortable from the very start and with each followup visit. I can't recommend Options Medical enough. I have no problem waiting a few extra minutes to get in because I know they are being as pleasant and thorough with every patient just as they are with me. I have never left an appointment wondering what my next steps were. I know I can be open and honest about my concerns or questions and not be made to feel like I am bothering a provider or causing them to be late for another patient or their lunch. I plan on bringing all of 4 of my kids to Options and will plan on being a patient for as long as they're around. Which hopefully will be forever. And again, a special thanks to Crystal for the care she has given myself and my girlfriend so far. She is one of the few "good guys" in the medical field who actually is there to help people. read more

I went her for primary about 8 years ago, after moving and job changes and a couple of bumps in my health, i had circulated through 6 or so other healthcare facilities, i don't know why i ever left. I recently came back with a semi-major concern, i was treated with care, dignity, and respect to both me as a person and as person with health needs. The staff are friendly and inviting and the facility is pristine. Thank you Options Medical for letting me clear my 8 year old debt and renew my health related care. I won't be switching again. read more

Dr. Butterfield will NOT see you for more than one aliment during your appointment. You must come back and pay for a second copay at another visit... You would think a doctor might know that the two problems could possibly be related but his office management staff has new policies that makes his business ethics questionable. What a shame to hear from the staff that "they are running a business and need to make money like everyone else." Yes this was the words that came out of the horse's mouth. Do yourself a favor and skip this office. read more

When I moved to Arizona, I spent a fair amount of time looking for a good Osteopathic Physician because I want a doctor who considers the whole person -- one who looks at the big picture of my overall health. I like those who will consider alternative treatments and not always suggest drugs for everything. I wanted someone who would take time and really listen when I have a concern. I have had some difficult health issues over the years and had seen many different doctors (when I lived in Washington.) It took a long while to find the ones who could really help me and get to the root of the issue, not just cover the symptom with a band-aid solution. So I know how hard it is to find a good doctor with a good support staff! I found Dr. Butterfield and his staff in Mesa to be excellent in the way they treat the patient -- not as a number but as an individual. They don't rush you in and out as many medical offices seem to. When you call, the call is answered quickly by a real person with a good attitude. That's hard to find in medicine, in my opinion. In a world where I see so much incompetence in many workplaces, Dr. Butterfield has a staff that follows through and takes care of business -- they don't drop the ball and let you down. It seems service to the patient is actually a priority in their office! read more

Moved to a new area in Arizona & needed a primary doctor. I decided to go to Dr. Butterfield because on his website his care philosophy states :Options Medical is based on the patient deciding the best options for them involving the patient in their own health planning giving them control and better outcomes". This is exactly the kind of doctor I was looking for but after my experience I have to ask "Is this a joke"? I have had a thyroid condition for 20 years. I do not take drugs of any kind (use natural supplements) except for my thyroid which doesn't respond to natural supplements so I'm forced to take a prescription. Every doctor I have been to in 20 yrs. does a blood test once a year for my thyroid and over the years I have been able to actually lower the dosage of my prescription due to a healthy lifestyle & herbal supplements. This has worked well for me. Dr. Butterfield advised for me to have 2 blood tests a year for my thyroid, every 6 months. Since I have done so well over the years with just one blood test yearly, I do not see the benefit (for me) to spend this extra time & money. My insurance will cover 100% for one blood test a year (not 2) for my thyroid. I explained this to Dr. Butterfield but he was adamant that this is his STANDARD and he WILL NOT deviate. What happened to the patient deciding their best option? How does this involve me in my own health planning? Where is the patient control he advertises? It was clear that I either "do it his way or hit the highway". So I told him I'd find another doctor. My blood tests show great numbers and thyroid slightly improved. Why would I need MORE testing? I feel deceived by his advertising. read more

Worst place I have ever been too, they not only violated basic principles of their profession by discontinuing medical care to my husband while he was in the midst of an ongoing medical problem that has not resolved, they also would not give me any of my daughters test results even after she gave them permission to contact me, they said she was a minor so they couldn't tell her over the phone and since I, her mother wasn't the patient they couldn't give me any result info, she needed to make an appointment. They have their patients make appointments for every little thing, and to top it off they emailed me someone elses medication information and personal information!!!! I'm wondering if that is something that I should turn into the medical board, how many other people have they done that too!!! read more

I never went to Butterfield, my brother did. He had severe depression and was provided with a script for medication. Had this doctor followed up with that depression, he would have found that my brother was more depressed than normal and committed suicide. That being said, I don't know many doctors who take the time to see if their patients are doing well with depression. They check your blood pressure, temperature and weight and that's about it. Sorry, but I would never recommend a doctor who has no time to follow up on the scripts he writes! read more

Nice office... Great Staff except for the Doctor, himself... Its obvious that Dr. Butterfield is requiring extra visits to boost his income... I imagine I would not be the only one he does this to... He staggers Med refills... 3 months for some... 2 months for others he'll tell you that the law requires him to not write a particular prescription for more than 2 months at a time (Even though every other doctor I've seen in the last 7 years for the same condition writes 3, my wife who's on the same med gets 3 prescriptions as well albeit from a different doctor)... and if I ask him to write a one month prescription so I don't have to come in again next month he won't do it, (even though it doesn't violate his 2 month BS policy) Normally I would get refills every 3 months... I'd see the doc 4 times a year... in 6 months he's made me come in 5 times... He won't refill my medication for diabetes without coming in AGAIN! So now I'm without 30 days before I can afford to go see him... his damn $30 is more important than my health... He has also sent me to more specialists than any other doctor I've seen for relatively simple things... The last specialist he sent me to for a rash prescribed an over the counter medication to fix my problem... Wouldn't you think if the answer was that simple Dr. Butterballs should've know about it without wasting my time and paying a triple co-pay? These are not isolated incidents, I could go on, but you get the idea... Despite the great PA's they have to adhere to his ridiculous rules... The name of his practice is "Options Medical"... "Lack of Options Medical" would be a more accurate moniker... I'm tired of being fleeced by Dr. Butterfingers! read more
