Dr Botts was very careful when examining, took his time discussing and treating my injury. Main thing was I was treated like a friend and not just another person in line, I felt really cared for.

This is my first visit to Dr. Botts. I got a very good impression as he was straight forward and clear in his explanation.

July 15, 2021Hasan A.Verified patient
I went to see Dr. Botts for a broken finger. The staff at reception and X-ray room were friendly and did a great job. Not a lot of wait time.
Dr. Botts seemed in a hurry. He didn’t actually look at my hand at all, relying only on the X-rays to diagnose. At first glance, he said he didn’t see a break. When I mentioned that the urgent care I visited saw a break on their X-rays, he looked again and said, “oh I see it.”
His bedside manner was professional but a bit abrupt and perfunctory. When I said I had to cut off my wedding band because of the swelling he said, “good.” I know he meant it was a good idea to do it for my finger, but he didn’t really show any feeling. That’s not a big deal, I just happen to prefer doctors with good bedside manner.

Long wait after appt time, with mitigating factors - Dr. was off on 3rd of July so all of his appt's were moved. Probably should have moved more around throughout the week instead of all on one day.

Dr Botts has always taken care of the injuries I have and never rushes thru our visits. He is the same with all patients and still remains on schedule.

Dr. Botts gave a shot into my knee. I was nervous because that was my first treatment and it was very quickly and no pain.
I’m really glad that I have him as my orthopedic doctor.

My son injured his finger playing baseball yesterday evening. This morning I went on my Aetna directory for covered Orthos, preferably with sports medicine within 5 miles. Dr. Botts came up. I was able to schedule via ZocDoc and he had plenty of availability. We showed up and checkin was easy. They were able to X-Ray on site and provide a diagnosis minutes later. Dr. Botts splinted my son and the office provided a Dr.'s note for school. Super easy end to end with high quality care. Thank you!

Dr. Botts is not only an excellent doctor, but a kind and patient one. He allayed my anxieties. Also, his staff are helpful and kind
January 4, 2019Helen G.Verified patient
Super quick visit while I took a break from work, if you do you paperwork online they see you pretty quick and there were about eight people in the wait room when I arrived. Once my history was taken, I was x-rayed a few minutes later and saw Dr. Botts a few minutes after that.

July 10, 2018Ken G.Verified patient
I thought it went well until I called to schedule the procedure that the doctor recommended. A completely opposite treatment plan was given. I became extremely distrustful of the office's competency and decided not to return.
More than 1 year agoAkilah W.Verified patient
The waiting part was a problem.
The doctor seems really nice and intelligent, although rushed through the appointment due to the high volume fo patience he was seeing.
April 26, 2017Ivaylo N.Verified patient
The whole staff was wonderful! I had an appointment late in the day as a new patient so the office was empty at the time. I'm not sure if that accounts for all the friendly help I received but hey I'll take it! Dr. Botts was receptive and patient with me as I explained my situation and treated my diagnosis and next steps as a conversation rather than an order. In short, he treated me like an intelligent human being! This was the third specialist I have visited (insurance switches and one terrible doctor being the reason) so I was a bit exhausted with doctors offices but the entire experience was reinvigorating and I'm excited to move forward with Dr. Botts.

Wow! Who would believe that going to a doctor was a great experience! Well for me 2nd time round it was a pleasurable one because both the doctor nd staff made me feel welcome and special. I received excellent advice from the doctor who listened to me and treated me with respect and kindness!
October 28, 2016Helen G.Verified patient
A most pleasant efficient and effective experience!!! This is medicine at its best. Got an appointment with a top notch orthopedic surgeon Dr. Botts at the time and day I wanted. I was treated as if I really mattered! Zocdoc is superlative. Without Zocdoc, I was destined to see an orthopedic surgeon only in December for an emergency trauma knee situation. I truly thank the inventors of Zocdoc and the doctors signed up with them!!
October 7, 2016Helen G.Verified patient
Very personable,and explained everything
August 22, 2016Randy S.Verified patient
The registration as a new patient was seamless as I've already pre-populated forms via ZocDoc and they didn't have me fill any more paperwork besides seeing my insurance card and ID. That, in itself, was a pleasure and made the visit very easy. The nursing staff and doctor were also very efficient once I got in a room, which involved pulling some x-rays and administering a minor procedure. So all in all very simple and easy visit.

I found Dr. Botts to be knowledgeable & informative about my condition (torn rotator cuff). I did NOT feel rushed, he explained the extent of my injury & discussed the options & why surgery was necessary. His staff was professional & nice. Overall, quite pleased with my consultation.
October 6, 2015Yvonne S.Verified patient
The receptionist was very nice. I did submit my forms before hand online with Zoc Doc, but she wasn't able to pull then up right then. But she explained that to me and had mr just fill out a couple of necessary papers. It was a quick appointment (everything under an hour) with x rays and a consultation with the doctor. He wasn't super thorough, but thorough enough. Asked me a lot of questions and explained to me what could be occurring. He also had more compassion than some other doctors I've seen. I felt taken care of and listened to.
June 9, 2015Alyssa S.Verified patient
Very positive and optimistic. Friendly and thorough. I kind of wish I had more time to speak with the doctor, rather than his nurses and xray technician, but that's sort of par for the course with doctors these days, so I don't fault him for it.

I had a wonderful experience with my visit(s) with Dr. Jonathan Botts. The office staff was very friendly and accomodating. The office itself is extremely clean and pleasant. The doctor himself is everything one could ask for in a doctor--such a great bedside manner, very knowledgeable, very skilled at what he does, and really cares about your well being. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Botts!!!
