I am a general surgeon and surgical oncologist at St. Luke's University Health Network. I am thrilled to be part of an organization with a patient-centered culture and a collaborative working environment. 

My professional goal has always been to establish a connection with my patients and to partner with them in order to determine the best management plan for their unique situation. I am passionate about patient advocacy and work to serve patients and their families by bringing a hardworking, passionate approach to their care.

I look forward to working on expanding the cancer care that is available to patients within the Carbon County region and to connecting patients to multidisciplinary, individualized care. 

I am originally from Langhorne, Pennsylvania and received my undergraduate education at Lehigh University, where I was a proud scholar athlete in the softball program. I obtained my medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and completed my general surgery residency training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. I went on to complete a complex general surgical oncology fellowship at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, watching baseball and spending time with family and friends. My husband, Joseph Butash, MD, is an emergency medicine physician at St. Luke's Easton Campus. We are proud parents to our young son.

“Dr Butash is an amazingly caring person. She took so much time to explain the pros and cons of each procedure, how her team interacts with the plastics team etc. Our appointment went long to the point that the cleaning crew was in the office. She wanted to make sure all my questions were answered before I left her office. Also, she hooked me up with other specialty docs that I needed as well. It's important to know that I love o er and hour from Allentown and chose to see Dr Butash based on her reputation as a caring provider and excellent surgeon. She did not disappoint!! I have told so many friends and coworkers about her. She provided an incredible patient care experience and it's something I don't get where I live! Overall, all my experiences at all St Luke's facilities have always been excellent. Dr Butash is a keeper for sure. Please give her a raise as she goes out of her way to take care of patients!”

“Excellent service. Dr. Butash is a wonderful and caring doctor. I am so fortunate that she was on duty to care for me at the St Luke's Carbon emergency room, resulting in an immediate operation that she performed. During the weeks that followed the operation and now, during my recuperation, she continues to be the BEST dr I have ever encountered. She is treating me with not only the immediate health problem she was presented with but is helping me to address my other onging health concerns”
