Dr. Butrynski is a caring and compassionate physician. He is a good listener and respects his patient's input in regards to their treatment plan. It never feels like he is rushing through an appointment, and he always wants to make sure that all of the patient's questions and concerns have been addressed. I'm very grateful to be in his care!

From the first visit on I felt that he was a caring Doctor that was concerned about treating me and not just to get me in and out the door.

I moved from TN to OR partialy due to a chance to be treated by Dr. Butrinsky who understands my condition, multiple myeloma, better than the oncologist in TN.

I have been Dr Bs patient for three years. He has managed to keep me going that long. I have lung cancer, and he searches out things to try and hold the tide back. He always gives you, the patient, the choice while giving you the information needed to make the choice. Always a ready, pleasant manner.

I would definitely would recommend him. He seems very caring and concerned about his patients. He has never made me feel hurried as he listens and always answers all questions. I believe he is very knowledgeable. I have a relatively rare cancer and he willingly works in coordination with my cancer specialist who is at OHSU. I feel very fortunate to have him as my local oncologist.

3 visits.
1) Main focus was pitching Agendia study. Very confusing (and wrong, as it turned out). Seemed like he learned about me by reading the computer screen at the appointment; even surprised I had had excisional biopsy. Kept talking to my wife as if she was the patient. When I asked, he said he would send info specific to MBC. Nothing.
2) Recommended Tamoxifen. When asked about side effects, he dismissed as minor: "some women get hot flashes like during menopause". When I cited a study warning about more serious and prevalent side effects for men, he was surprised and said he would look into it and follow up with me in an email. Nothing.
3) Gave a confusing (and inaccurate, I learned later) explanation of the Agendia Report. Conclusion: that I should do both chemo and hormone therapy, based solely on the study and in spite of all my negative clinical data. I asked how many men, mastectomies, etc, he said he would find out and let me know. Again, NOTHING.
Terrible

Dr. Butrynski is an amazing oncologist. I am that patient who asks every question and questions every answer. He is more than happy to accommodate my questions and curiosity about my cancer and care. He loves what he does and it shows. When he’s with me, I feel like I’m his only patient. He is very reassuring and makes every effort without sacrificing safety of treatment to make sure I have as much autonomy as possible; this is a huge thing with cancer, as we have so little control over so many things. Very efficient and clear communication and treatments. Thanks Dr. B for all that you do!
