BUTT PAIN
“Bottom line…sit and occasionally stand like a man.”
Dr. Barbara Bergin
I’m Barbara Bergin, an orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. I’m not originally from these parts though. I was born in the Bronx! That surprises everyone who knows me because I have a pretty thick Texas accent, which I developed sometime after becoming a cowgirl. It’s the horses. But the New York accent got tempered a little during the time I spent in Kansas City too. As all of us who were not born in Texas say…”I got here as fast as I could.”
