Happening Women: Dr. Annie Buinewicz

Upon arriving at Dr. Buinewicz’s offices in Buckingham, I relaxed into their spacious conference room, eager to meet the woman behind one of the premier medical spas in Bucks County.  The environment was both chic and cozy, a welcome setting to those looking to embrace wellness and beauty.

For over twenty years, Annie Buinewicz has been practicing medicine, with many of those years spent building Buinewicz Plastic Surgery and Le Medspa which she operates alongside her husband in both Buckingham and Flemington. As part of our March Happening Women series, we sat down with Annie to find out about her 24 years of experience in medicine, why she chose to specialize in cosmetics, and what it’s been like to build a business while raising three boys.

BH: I understand that you started off your career as a Medical Director at a major pharmaceutical company.  What inspired you to make the transition to work with a local cosmetic enhancement business?

AB: Well, professionally, I loved the idea of making people feel better about themselves.  Bucks County isn’t Beverly Hills; our patients are often receiving procedures that have a major impact on their lives- acne treatment for the self-conscious teenager, rhinoplasty for a young adult who never had a broken nose properly set, Ultherapy to help an older executive gain confidence before a big interview.

Discovering the Land of Smiles: Siam Cuisine

Hot and Sour Vegetable Soup

In a town that primarily serves up pub grub and pizzas, Siam Cuisine has been spicing up the restaurant scene throughout Bucks County for years, serving authentic Thai food. Dishes range from piping hot soups to spicy curries to tasty stir-fry and noodle dishes.

We arrived in Buckingham close to 9pm on a Sunday, which, in Bucks County, often means you’re out of luck!  However, Siam not only promptly seated us, but allowed us to enjoy the meal at a leisurely pace.  (more…)

Town & Country Theater’s 2011 season is opening with a bang (or should I say a bite!) with a brilliant performance of the classic show, Little Shop of Horrors. A small, extremely talented group of actors tackled the Broadway favorite about a down-and-out floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood.  With beautiful harmonies, impressive character portrayals, and lots of laughs, Little Shop is community theater at it’s best.
