Hello everybody. It's good to be here with so many experienced and spine-repair-knowledgeable people.

My main interest at the moment is to identify a few exceptionally skilled spine surgeons in the US as I have decent medical insurance (copayments req'd). I have been diagnosed with noticeable disc degeneration, foramin and spinal column stenosis, and bone spur issues that span C4 thru C7. I want to avoid fusions and probably need extensive bony debris cleanup and at least one ADR. My current doc would prefer to do two ADR's and a fusion.

Can you folks give me recommendations as to who you personally would go to for surgery or a second opinion if it were you? Plus any others as your second choices. Please include where they are located. I'm retired now and otherwise in excellent health albeit no longer a "spring chicken," as some would say! Please post here or PM me.

Thanks in advance.
