Our Team

Dr Stephanie Butler is mum to four young adults; when she isn’t seeing patients, she can be found spending time with her children or walking her dogs along the beach, two of her most enjoyable activities.

Back in the surgery, Dr Stephanie’s professional passion is to be involved in the true healing process of her patients. Not only interested in concentrating solely on clinical medicine, Dr Stephanie enjoys having long-standing patients that she can guide and support on their journey to better health.
