Marita,

Jeff was a huge source of information & reassurance as I wad making a decision as to where to go,what to do and how to get info....
Thank you again,Jeff!!!!

Do your research, ask questions, talk to everyone you can....

One big concern for me was getting a Neurosurgeon who would see me and treat me after surgery out if the country. I met with my Neuro and was very specific with my questions regarding treatment after surgery IF I chose to go out of country for surgery. I asked him "would he treat me after surgery" and I even asked him to repeat the fact he was agreeable to post op treatment. I took my husband with me so that I had a "witness". I have been in to see him since the surgery, he asked for post op X-rays in addition to the ones I brought home from Spain.... So far, he and his staff have been great. But I suggest you make prior arrangements with your doctor for follow up - for ease of mind and so you have a relationship. In all probability,my NS was not thrilled I left the country, but I have to say he & his staff have been great post op....

Hope this helps!
Again, best of luck.
