I have never had a doctor after a test or procedure explain things so thoroughly to Many times the docs leave a lot of that to their assistant or a nurse. Dr Boutte was the example of how a doctor can be so professional and have great bedside manner. Bravo to Dr Boutte! (He also stepped in to do my procedure when my regular doctor Yun had a very busy schedule and couldn't squeeze me in. Thank you to the doctor!)

I though Dr Boutte was an excellent doctor. He answered my questions directly before the procedure and spent time reviewing the procedure afterwards. The only area for improvement is that I had requested to speak to him about my personal GI issues days before the procedure and the prep took place. He did not make himself available.

Dr boutte is knowledgeable professional and personable. This is my second colonoscopy he has performed. He makes a difficult process so much easier. After he went over the results i mentioned the difficulty i had with the volume of liquid needed for preparation this time. He immediately suggested an alternate method where the volume to drink would be less and done over 2 days instead and would still give good results as i have a tortuous colon which makes the colonoscopy a little more involved. He is excellent at his profession.
