Dr. Buten is an exceptional doctor! He has been taking care of my 69 year old Mother since July and in August, he performed surgery using the da Vinci robot system at the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center. She needed to have a bladder prolapse repair, a hysterectomy, and a procedure to treat stress incontinence. My Mom is not an easy patient - she is terrified of doctors. As a result of her anxiety, she waits until things get really bad before being forced into action. She had been dealing secretly with her problem for over 6 months before she finally visited her primary care physician. She was worried that she had a large tumor protruding from her body. The exam by her primary care physician was very uncomfortable and painful so she was even more scared to have the area re-examined by a gynecological specialist, especially a male specialist. She was thoroughly amazed by how gentle Dr. Buten was and how comfortable she felt during the whole visit. Dr. Buten was able to fully examine her without causing significant pain. He provided well described surgical options and thorough post operative instructions even before surgery occurred and scheduled her surgery within a few weeks of that initial exam. In the hospital, Dr. Buten was reassuring in the pre-operative room, provided updates during and after surgery, and made sure overall that Mom's stay in the hospital was as comfortable as possible. Both of us are extremely pleased with Dr. Buten! We would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a compassionate gynecologist. read more

On moving to Austin in 1999, I was faced with the challenging process of finding a gynecologist with whom I could totally place my trust and also relate to on a personal, dr./patient level. Through online research, which at the time did not reveal much more than a brief bio on the doctors, I chose Dr. Buten. The first visit proved my choice could not have been a better one and I have continued to see him for the past 13 years. Even though I live over an hour away from his Cedar Park location, I would never contemplate seeing anyone else for my gyn. care. I have had two surgeries performed by Dr. Buten, the first of which was complicated but very successful and the second, just performed this Feburary, was not only successful but with his expertise, pain free from day one after the surgery. Prior to and following the surgeries, Dr. Buten kept me very informed and was always available for any questions. Dr. Buten's caring manner is also evidenced throughout his staff. His assistant and office staff are always pleasant ,upbeat and very helpful whether I have a question about health or insurance. Another attribute I would like to point out is that even when Dr. Buten was caring for obstetrical patients, he never made me feel like he was in a rush. He still takes as much time as is needed to explain his care and concerns about my visit and to also answer all of my questions in detail. Thank you Dr. Buten for your kindness and great care over the past 13 years. M Watts read more

I was referred to Dr. Jonathan Buten by Dr. Roberta Braun, my GYN for the last year (we are pretty new in the country). Of course, having another doctor referring me to him gave me total confidence. I have Endometriosis, and it was starting to affect my daily life. The tissue was wrapping my ovaries, uterus, and part of the colon, so pain has been part of my life for several years. After many hormonal treatments and minor surgeries, nothing was working for me, and the disease was stronger than anything else. From the very beginning, Dr. Buten has been very informative, giving us all the options and guiding us through all the process. Last month Dr. Buten, and a whole crew of other specialists, operated on me to free all the organs that were stuck together. The possibility of losing one of my ovaries and part of the colon was pretty high, but the surgery went perfect. He did a proficient job. Also, by using the Da Vinci robot, my recovery has been really fast. I could go back to work in just two weeks! I am so glad I put my health in his hands! Also, his staff is friendly and professional, and he has a really nice office. I was really scared of having such a complicated surgery in another country, far from what I'm used to, but my overall experience has been excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Buten. He has improved my quality of life. read more

Dr. Buten was highly recommended to me by my family physician of 14 years and after meeting him, I can understand why. In an emergency situation, Dr. Buten was able to schedule a same day appointment for me. After an exam and consult, it was determined that i would need surgery that week. Dr. Buten spent time with me going through all of my options to address my issue. He explained every scenario and answered all of my questions so that I could make an informed decision about my health and the direction of my care. His office staff were very informed, kind and went out of their way to put me at ease. His nurse, Stephanie works very closely with Dr. Buten and together they make a great team. Dr. Buten's bedside manner is second to none - he listened to me, patiently answered my many questions and genuinely cared about my wellbeing. Due to my emergency situation, he even scheduled my surgery on his day off. Could it get better than that? In speaking to friends that have had similar surgeries the old fashioned way, the state of the art equipment that Dr. Buten utilizes cut my recuperation time in half. To say minimally invasive is an understatement. If you need a top notch gynecologist / surgeon, look no further, Dr. Buten is it! read more

I'm a foodie - so this is not the type of review that I would typically be motivated to write on yelp. However, my experience with Dr. Buten was so good, I feel that every woman in the area should know about him. I recently found out that I needed to have a hysterectomy, and my anxiety started to skyrocket from that moment forth. Fortunately, a friend of a friend recommended Dr. Buten, and he really put my mind at ease. He took his time and explained my options and what I should expect from the procedure, which really made a difference in how I felt about having the surgery. Not only does he employ the latest techniques in the field, but he really has a wonderful down to earth manner. The office staff is very friendly and efficient, and appointments run on time, which I totally appreciate. I am also very impressed with the Cedar Park Medical Center that he is affiliated with. My surgery went very well, and I will remain a patient of Dr. Buten's! read more

I have been in pain all of my teenage and adult life and no one seem to have any answers except to put me on birth control or if I was on birth control to increase the potency, even though i told them I had tried and it had no effect. I had no intention of having children and was open to any treatment but they would not consider anything else for me. Because of this I have never had a GYN I liked or trusted until I met Dr. Buten. Dr. Buten saw what my issues were and recognized my intelligence and ability to make my own decisions about my body. He offered several levels of appropriate treatment for my issues and gave me their possibilities of success in percentages as well as their affect on me from least to most extreme. He then allowed me to choose which treatment I wanted to start with. We came to a consensus and I cried with relief when I left his office that I had found a doctor who truly cared about my whole well being. read more

I had escaping private parts: a prolapsed uterus and bladder. I had to get up frequently at night to go to the bathroom. The sense of urgency was with me both day and night. I frequently had to run to get to the bathroom to avoid accidents. Worst of all, I have suffered for years with frequent UTIs. Prior to the surgery I had had a persistent UTI for three months and had undergone five rounds of antibiotics. The surgery itself was pain-free and extremely effective. Dr. Buten not only lifted my escaping parts but tightened up my bladder so that there is now no sense of urgency, no running, and no accidents. I often go through the entire night without having to get up. Added to that, Dr. Buten is extremely personable and caring, takes time to get to know his patients as individuals,has broad interests, and is a great conversationalist. His staff reflects his attitude. The whole process was problem-free and pleasant. read more

If you are looking for a kind, caring and very skilled doctor, look no further than Dr. Buten. He has been my doctor for many years and has taken a genuine interest in me and my family. He has performed major surgery on me and I trust him implicitly. When he moved to Cedar Park, I chose to drive that extra distance rather than switch to another doctor. He has a very gentle bedside manner and gives you the time to talk to him, rather than rush you in and out in five minutes. He is definitely the best at what he does. You can trust him to take care of you and he is always very up to date with with all the new training, as well as being a pioneer in one specific procedure himself. I have been with Dr. Buten for almost 10 yrs and would not even consider looking for someone else. Linda H. read more

Dr. Buten was recommended to me by my primary physician. My regular gynecologist told me I had something called fibroids. I didn't really know what that was. I did know something wasn't right. I felt a little brushed off, and decided to get a second opinion by Dr. Buten. My world has changed! Dr. Buten is very down to earth and took his time in answering any questions I had. His office is small with a wonderful, tentative staff. It didn't feel like it was too busy to pay attention to me. I had to have a hysterectomy, and had probably needed one for a long time. He explained afterwards that my uterus was 12 times the normal size! I feel so much better. My family even approved of his bedside manners. He will be my doctor from here on out. I highly recommend Dr. Buten. read more

Went to Dr. Buten on strong recommendation from my doctor's PA. Endometriosis, symptoms getting worse. Decided to do the hysterectomy. Frankly, I was terrified- but Dr. Buten was thorough in explaining everything, compassionate, and told me to read the materials and take my time deciding. The procedure went smoothly, and the recovery was just as Dr. Buten explained. Also, his staff is phenomenal. From Starr, was handles the appointments, to Stephanie the nurse assistant. Even Joelle- who helped get my medical leave paperwork processed- was incredibly efficient. (She received all the stuff from the insurance and had it filled out and faxed back by the end of that same day!) I can't say enough good things about Dr. Buten and his staff. See for yourself! read more

As a long time patient of Dr. Buten's I can truly say that he is as good as it gets. His office staff Stephanie and Starr are always courteous and personable. He is compassionate and very thorough. He has performed numerous gynecological surgeries on me and I have the utmost trust in the care I receive from him. He most recently performed a daVinci robot assisted hysterectomy on me and the entire experience was great, from the pre-op care to the post-op care I received, I couldn't have asked for any better. I am 6 weeks post op and extremely pleased with my results so far and expect that it will just get better from here on out. I highly recommend Dr. Buten for anyone looking for a top notch gynecologist. read more

Dr. Buten is great. I was referred to him by my primary care provider, who said that he is the best at what he does and that he is her gynecologist. I was very impressed with his many years of experience and his "bedside manner" as well as with his entire office staff. Though he has been in practice for many years, Dr. Buten is clearly up to date with both knowledge and training on all the new birth control procedures and techniques out there and was able to recommend the right option for me, which happened not to be something new, but a traditional procedure for permanent birth control. read more

Dr Buten performed a tumor removal and a full hysterectomy. Dr Buten explained the process and procedure. He tried to be sure we understood everything that was going to go on. I was concerned about scars and he kept the cuts as small as he possibly could, considering the size of the tumor. The pain was less than I expected it to be. Dr Buten did a wonderful job of managing my pain. Dr Buten and the hospital kept my family apprised of progress during surgery and visited after the surgery each day I was in the hospital. I would highly recommend Dr Buten. read more

Dr. Buten is a wonderful physician and specialist. He is attentive and, unlike some other physicians I have seen in the past, he gives you the time you need for you appointment. He is able to explain any problem and offer different solutions in a warm, intelligent way. He listens to concerns and addresses them in a way that us non-medical types understand and appreciate. I have been with his practice for almost 9 years and without his expert care and medical expertise my two children would never have been born. I cannot recommend him more highly. read more

I was referred to Dr. Buten by my primary doctor, Dr. Pamela Warren. I am so glad she referred me to him. He takes the time to listen and the time to discuss. He made the entire Davinci hysterectomy process easy to understand and made sure I was comfortable with the choices we decided. From pre-op to post-op, I could not be more pleased with the care and concern I received from Dr. Buten and his team. I'm 6 weeks post-op and feeling great. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Buten and his office staff. read more

Dr. Buten is about as caring and professional as they get. I was so impressed that there was still a Dr. who could be on time, spend time with you, and explain all the things involved with the procedure he is about to do. He is an exemplenary surgeon. I had almost no pain even the day after surgery. He has a wonderful nursing staff and the office staff is extremely efficient and quick to help. I would recommend him to my own daughters and anyone else who needs and wonderful surgeon. Sherry Banks read more

Dr. Buten is a very professional and excellent surgeon and gynecologist. From the diagnosis to the complete and thorough explanation of the solution Dr. Buten made sure I understood what the remedy would be. Once the decision was made to go forward, the entire process went smoothly and using the DaVinci system, full recovery was much more rapid than anticipated. I have absolutely no hesitation in recomending Dr. Buten to any woman needing a gynecologist - I will be seeing him again yearly! read more

I have been Dr. Buten's patient for over 15 years. He has a great bedside manner and has a genuine concern for my and my family's well being. (Including a referal for my husband.) And he always makes a point to ask if my GP has taken care of ordering regular yearly tests for my cronic condition. If for whatever reason these test were not ordered, Dr. Buten will do so and send copies to my GP. I feel comfortable talking to him about all my issues and recommend him highly. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Buten for 15+ years. He delivered all three of my children so when the time came to schedule my needed hysterectomy, I did not hesitate to schedule with him. He has done countless surgeries and uses the state of the art DaVinci robot which is a very precise and less invasive way to perform surgery. Dr Buten is very knowledgeable, expertised in surgeries and caring of his patients. I highly recommend you consult with him. read more
