He has a special interest in chronic and recurrent sinusitis and uses computer navigation and his experience when surgery is necessary.
Dr. Butler is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and evaluates parotid neoplasms, thyroid nodules and other neck masses. He is ACS trained in ultrasound and needle biopsy which assists with determining if surgery is indicated or can be safely avoided.
