William Butron, M.D., specializes in internal medicine and pediatrics and speaks fluent in Melanesian Pidgin.
“I grew up overseas in Singapore and Papua New Guinea and had an opportunity in high school to volunteer with a mobile clinic that served a slum in the capitol city of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. I was moved by the tangible difference we were able to make for the people we served. I knew after this that I wanted to be in health care and become a doctor where I felt I could make the biggest difference,” says Dr. Butron.
His goal ever since has always been to become a pediatrician, but it wasn’t until during school that he realized he wanted to add another specialty to his profession. “During medical school I worked at the OU Bedlam clinic and decided that I did not want to give up adult care. This led me to complete my residency in internal medicine and pediatrics, which allows me to take care of patients of all ages,” he said.
As Dr. Butron provides care to patients of all ages, one of his priorities is to actively listen to his patients. “I enjoy getting to know people and building relationships. It is important to me to listen to my patients and do my best to understand their concerns and goals of care,” he says.
Dr. Butron’s education includes:
• Residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine (OU-Tulsa), 2015
• Medical degree at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Tulsa, 2011
• Bachelor of Science in biology at Oral Roberts University (ORU) in Tulsa, 2007
His areas of interest include transitional care for pediatric patients with complex medical conditions transitioning into adulthood and adult cystic fibrosis (CF).
When Dr. Butron isn’t working at the clinic, he enjoys spending time with his family. He also enjoys woodworking and making knives as a hobby.
He welcomes new patients and accepts most insurance plans at the following location:
Utica Park Clinic

I came to Dr Butron when my daughter was going through a complex illness. He was very thorough and also took the time to educate us and explain what was happening in her body and why. Understanding what was going on was the only thing that reassured me it would get better. It was the first time in months that I left the doctor's office with a smile on my face. Some offices rush you out the door. Dr Butron instead asks if there is anything else going on. We drive an hour to see him and are happy to do it.

Dr. Butron is a very compassionate and listens to all you have to say. Works with you on medication and if one doesn’t work we try something else. So happy to have him as my primary doctor.

He has been my primary care doctor for about 6 years and has helped me through many significant medical problems! He has always been very professional and personable.

At least so far. My PCP, Dan Henshaw, retired, and I was going to see Dr Butron, and I wasn't sure if I would keep him as my PCP. But after seeing him, I think I will. Part of it is that I just don't want to search for another one, but if he had been really bad, I would've. He really seemed to listen to me, address all my concerns, and tried to make sure I understood him.
