Meeting the health care needs of women from adolescence through older adulthood with
understanding and compassion is the goal of Dr. David Lang, a board-certified
obstetrician/gynecologist, and Amanda Bukaty, a nurse practitioner certified
in women's health and family practice.
"With the recent addition of Amanda to Providence Medical Group OB/GYN.,
we can take care of most women's health concerns right here, close
to home, providing outstanding continuity of care for women in Wyandotte
and Leavenworth counties," Dr. Lang says.
Together, Dr. Lang and Bukaty form an experienced women's health care
team. Bukaty is a former labor, delivery and recovery nurse who received
her post-master's certificate as a family nurse practitioner from
the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and her master's of science
in nursing-women's health, from Frontier Nursing University, Hyden, Ken.
Bukaty often works with the practice's adolescent patients. "I
enjoy communicating with our younger patients, educating them about their
health care concerns," she says. She takes a holistic approach to
medicine, making sure the patient's body systems are in balance.
"I take the time to sit down and really listen to my patients about
their concerns," Bukaty says. "I do my best to answer their
questions, exploring issues that range from changes in mood, to questions
about family planning and birth control." In addition to patient
education, Bukaty is certified to perform minor office procedures.
Dr. Lang has extensive experience in women's health care, including
obstetrics and prenatal care. He performs deliveries exclusively at the
Providence Family Care Center. "I have practiced at other hospitals
in the area, but in my opinion, the Providence staff is outstanding. They
provide highly personal care in an atmosphere that is comfortable and
compassionate," Dr. Lang says.
The Providence Family Care Center features Labor-Delivery-Recovery Rooms,
high-tech fetal monitoring to track uterine contractions and fetal heart
rate during labor and delivery; an outstanding medical team; comprehensive
education and support; and security to ensure a safe environment for patients
and their families.
Dr. Lang also practices gynecology and age management medicine, including
bioidentical hormone replacement to help patients manage the symptoms
related to menopause. He treats infertility, polycystic ovary disease
and performs minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.
He earned his doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from the Kansas City
University of Medicine and Biosciences, Kansas City, Mo., and performed
a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Northeast Regional Medical
Center, Kirksville, Mo. He received a bachelor of science degree in biology
from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan.
Dr. Lang is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, American
Congress of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American
Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery. He also is serving on the Fetal
Infant Mortality Review Board for Wyandotte County.
Before coming to the Kansas City area, Dr. Lang spent six years serving
in the United States Air Force. When he initially joined the Air Force,
he trained to become a flight navigator, then received training in electronic
warfare, logging 1,000 hours of flight time before advancing to the role
of instructor. Following graduation from medical school, he practiced
for three years at the Marines Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.
