She received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. Dr. Bunting manages all types of breast disease, both benign and malignant, including new breast masses, nipple discharge, breast pain, breast cancer and abnormal mammograms. In addition, Dr. Bunting consults with high-risk patients, such as those with a family history of breast cancer or prior breast biopsies showing atypical findings.

Dr. Bunting has completed extensive training in Hidden Scar® Breast Cancer Surgery, an advanced approach to removing breast cancer. She performs both Hidden Scar Lumpectomy/Partial Mastectomy and Hidden Scar Mastectomy procedures. During Hidden Scar® Breast Cancer Surgery, the incision is made in the fold under the breast, around the edge of the nipple area or in the armpit, so the scar is less visible after breast surgery.
