I was treated like a VIP. Before seeing Dr. Butler, I talked to the following specialists who are members of his team: his nurse, pharmacist, his intern assistant, and social worker. I spent time discussing relevant issues with each. In turn, each specialist briefed Dr. Butler before he came in last and we then discussed all those issues in detail. It was the most thorough doctor's visit I've ever had! 5 stars!!

June 27, 2023
The staff, including Dr. Butler, are kind and helpful, but I feel like I am not a "whole person" when I am in the geriatric patient room, with the doctor sitting several feet away, across the room, mostly asking questions. I always feel as though I am more of an "object" of care, rather than a "participant/thinking and functioning adult". Perhaps I misunderstand the scope and scale of care in the geriatric clinic. One example is that I do not receive a complete physical exam like I used to receive In the Family Care Center. At 76 years old, I would still expect a physical exam of my entire body, including parts that I normally do not see, for example, my back, my ears, my uro-genital-anal area.
June 24, 2023
I don't know if Geriatric Care Clinic is supposed to be my "medical home"...or if it is more of a specialty clinic only for problems related specifically to aging. I came for a visit for followup on mood/depression & anxiety, By coincidence, day before that visit, I had fallen while helping move a heavy piece of furniture with three other people. The furniture, a heavy wardrobe, landed on my right and left lower legs. Initially I thought I would be fine, but the pain and bruising Increased overnight. The next day, at geriatric clinic, I described what had happened and how much pain, discoloration and swelling I had developed overnight. Dr. Butler made an assessment and said I would heal with ice, otc pain med, elevation, and rest. Six days later I went to the UIHC ETC because my right leg was very swollen, black & blue, and I had a lot of pain. I was concerned about blood clots. The ETC staff did a thorough exam, with physical exam and xrays, and determined that my pain was due to trauma and hematomas, but that I did not have any sign of thrombosis or fracture. Now, nearly two weeks after my traumatic fall, I am still In pain, with swollen bruising and tenderness on both shins. I do not know If I need follow-up, and who/where that might be done. Please advise me. Thank you. [Name(s)]
