Dr. Booton has been my primary care physician for decades. Of course I trust and rely on him. Wonderful staff, well-timed visits.
Verified patient
There was a problem with the schedule. Zocdoc showed an in person appointment while the office felt it was a tele-visit. The doctor rearranged his schedule to allow for the in office visit.
For many years, Dr. Booton has given me top notch care. He listens carefully, has deep medical experience, and gives very practical treatment and advice.
The doctor was very concern about everything and asked many questions to learn about my health. His examination was detailed and complete. The techniques of inspection include palpation (feeling with the hands and/or fingers), percussion (tapping with the fingers), auscultation (listening), and smell.
Verified patient
Always like to ask Dr. Booton about any issues I have - he provides clear, simple answers that illustrate a high level of common sense.

Verified patient
This was my first appointment with Dr. Booton as I am new to Austin. I am so glad that I was referred to Dr. Booton. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and his staff. They put me at ease from the moment I walked in the front door and I really enjoyed Dr. Booton's beside manner. I'm so relieved to have found them!
Verified patient
It just nice that a physician is attentive, and not treating you as another insurance claim. I look forward to have a doctor I can build a relationship for years with, which is very difficult with how the medical field is overrun with insurance policies. I enjoy his calm and patient demeanor and thorough with a basic physical annual exam. My previous physician did not even touch me...then charged for a specialist referral that I never received. This doctor has integrity. That is why he is popular among patients! Thank you, Dr. Booton!
Verified patient

Verified patient
I finally found "my" doctor.
Verified patient
I have had to see many doctors unfortunately. I have seen specialist, surgeons, etc. I have been a skeptic of Primary Care DRs because of past experiences. However, Dr. Booton has been really helpful in listening to how I "say" I am feeling, not just looking at the tests and medical charts. I am on a better road to getting my life and health back because of him. Five starts isn't even enough. Thank you Dr. Booton.
Verified patient
Several of the nice folks in Dr. Booton's office went out of their way to help me out. As always, Dr. Booton was great - plenty of time for me.
Verified patient
Office was short-staffed and took about 10mins to greet me, even though I was the only patient waiting. Very friendly and helpful, and let me know what to expect. Took only a few minutes after paperwork was filled out to be called back. After waiting about 10mins in the waiting room, the doctor came in. Dr. Booten was very thorough, asked a lot of good questions, and created a comprehensive understanding of my symptoms and history. He addressed my concerns in ways I could clearly understand, and put together logical next steps in terms of diagnosing my issues step by step. He is actually interested in digging deeper into issues, instead of just throwing medication at the problem. I'm looking forward to working further with him to help solve some of these issues!
Verified patient
Doctor Booton was great. He listened to me and helped me to get the medication that I needed, and he also did a full new patient exam. He was compassionate and friendly and made me feel comfortable.
Verified patient
Before my visit, I read several other reviews that spoke about Booton's terrible bedside manner. I'm a pragmatic person, so I didn't pay this too much attention. It was obvious once I got there that his bedside manner was indeed terrible, but the real problem is that it all stemmed from him just not caring. He dismissed my questions and hardly looked me in the eye the entire time. I had some results from blood work I had done independently with my own money (because I'm interested in reaching my optimum health), and he rejected it out of hand, saying I had wasted my money. His goal was clearly just to make sure I wasn't about to die. He didn't care about anything to do with optimizing my health and preventing future problems. He was 25 minutes late to the appointment and clearly was rushing through it so he could be less late to the next one. I'm definitely not coming back.
Dr. Booton is an excellent physician. Very thorough, wonderful bedside manner, and a physician who takes the time to listen to his patients. BW
