My surgeon said he would trim osteophytes and widen the neural foramen too during my ADR surgery. This surgeon is different from the one who did my first more minor procedure in 2015. That 1st surgeon did not have much to say when I was in a brutal pain crisis several months ago. So it seems some are more willing to do something than others.
Perhaps you can also do some searching on this forum for the doctor you mentioned and others in your local area. A surgeon who specializes only on the cervical spine makes sense to me.
