Patient Experience
“I just want to thank you for taking on my challenging back issues. You and your team did such a wonderful job. It truly has made such a difference in my life already. I can't quit looking at my back in the mirror. Even the scars are beautiful! Scoliosis has made me so self concious for 40+ years. I've missed out on a lot. I never thought I'd be brave enough to go through with the surgery(ies). Something told me I could put all my trust in you and I'm so glad I went with that feeling. Thanks to everyone involved. It's always a team effort but a little bit of EXTRA thanks to you, Dr. Buttermann!"
