Doctor Details

“It is my goal to treat every individual as if they were the only one I was caring for. I strive to treat the patient and not the X-Ray. In turn, My goal is to get everybody back into the playing field of life with conservative medicine if possible and surgery if necessary.”

Dr. Butkovich has specialized training in multiple shoulder arthroscopic procedures, including shoulder reconstruction, rotator cuff and instability procedures. His arthroscopic and sports medicine expertise also includes knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, multi-ligament knee injuries, cartilage restoration and foot & ankle and upper extremity surgery.
