*** Specializing in scoliosis and reconstructive spine surgery and fellowship trained under the renowned spine surgeon and mentor Dr. Jean Dubousset in Paris, France.

*** Winner of Patient's Choice Award 2 Years In a Row!!
Of the nations 720,000 active physicians, less than 6% were accorded this honor by their patients in 2009!  Various components are rated such as bedside manner, degree of follow-up, courtesy of office staff, promptness and patient-physician time.

*** I take my son to see Dr. Van Buskirk as he has scoliosis.  She takes time to explain things so we understand.  My son loved going to see her!!!!  In the waiting room we hear the other patients saying how much better they are since seeing her and her doing their surgery.

*** She is so awesome....the whole office is.  She will explain everything and you never feel rushed.  I also liked the fact that she is okay with alternative ideas such as massage, chiropractic, physical therapy etc. Great experience!
