Dr. Gary J Butchko has the following 2 specialties
- Pediatric Cardiology
Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians with additional, specialized, training in the heart health of your children. When infants are born with congenital heart disease or abnormal hearts, pediatric cardiologists get involved as soon as possible — sometimes before the child is even born.
Through specific testing, they can diagnose the problem and care for the child throughout their treatment, which could range from medication to surgery and transplants. Other heart conditions they treat include arrhythmias, heart murmurs, holes in the heart and viral infections that affect blood flow.
A pediatrician is a doctor who specializes in the regular care of children, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of illness in children. Young patients are often more complicated to treat because they are still growing and developing.
While pediatricians may sub-specialize in specific therapy areas like oncology, surgery, ophthalmology, and anesthesiology, in general, pediatricians provide services like vaccinations, health exams, and treatment of common ailments and injuries. In addition, pediatricians are trained to handle the complex emotional and behavioral issues faced by children, especially during puberty.
Pediatricians normally see their patients from birth until the age of 18, although some may agree to treat patients into their early 20s, if requested.

Staff was rude and doctor was more concerned with flirting with me than caring for my child. He was completely wrong with his diagnosis and I had to take another day off work to see another doctor who correctly diagnosed my child in 5 minutes......it was worth it because my son is now being taken care of properly.
Exceptional! Truly a Blessing from the moment my son (Scotty) was born. Literally within minutes after birth Dr Butchko was summoned and was there to tend to Scotty. That was six years ago. Dr Butchko has been a vital part of Scotty's treatment of Nunez Disease ever since. Even to the point of coming to the ER on a few occasions when he was off, to make sure Scotty was getting the proper treatment for his condition. After undergoing open heart surgery when Scotty was 8months old, Dr Butchko visited with us and stayed in contact with us at home to make sure everything was ok. Dr Butchko is an all around great person and has been a Blessing to me and my family.
