About us

Dr. Glenn Buttermann specializes in youth and adult scoliosis and complex deformity evaluation and surgery as well as minimally invasive spinal procedures.

Dr. Buttermann's training and practice in both childhood and adult spinal deformities sensitized him to motion preservation issues.

Dr. Buttermann explains, "Most fellowships focus on primary degenerative spine problems; I was fortunate to have my advanced biomechanics training under YC "Bert" Fung, PH.D, the father of bioengineering, followed by an orthopedic residency and fellowship geared toward deformity and revision surgery. During this period I was introduced to complex adjacent segment and transitional problems under the mentorship of brilliant orthopedic minds such as David Bradford, M.D., and James Ogilvie, M.D."

Dr. Buttermann performs about 300 surgeries a year, using devices and techniques he helped develop.
