About Me

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 performed an emergency appendectomy on me recently. Extremely professional. Stayed in touch to see how I was and discuss any possible problems. I highly recommend. I was fortunate she was on duty when I went to the emergency room. I can't praise or thank her enough for what she did for me.

Dr. Ali was seeing me at the Carbon campus. I think initially she was kind of consulting and giving her opinion. She became more involved and reached out to us via video more than once. She was an exceptionally patient, calm, knowledgeable and sincere doctor. I wish she was my primary care doctor. Nothing but excellent things to say about Dr. Ali.

Doctor Butash was assigned to me on an emergency visit to ER. I was fortunate to have her expert knowledge of my situation and concern over my wellbeing. I was admitted for 4 days and saw her everyday with progress updates. I had an issue post hospital stay and reached out to her on her day off. She helped me through the situation and spent a half hour on the phone and set up stat scan and blood work and was kept in the loop with the results. Doctor Butash is a companionate and excellent Doctor and you are fortunate to have her on the St Luke's Team.

06/27/2023
When I saw Dr. Butash on June 19th I felt very ill and I was scared. I immediately felt like I was in such good hands when I met her. The first thing she said was I'm sorry you're not feeling well. She was so caring and professional. She helped me more than she will ever know. She made all arrangements for me and called me several times explaining test results and what would be next. Although she didn't end up doing my surgery, she made all arrangements for me to get where I needed to be. I am forever grateful to her expertise and care. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her medical assistant was also very helpful and caring. She made arrangements for my stat mri so all I had to do was show up. I thank them both very much.
