Hi Mac and welcome!
I'm a new person to the website too, and believe me, it is daunting at times. But SO helpful.
I too canceled a much too soon fusion (mine is cervical) after my initial diagnosis, and spent some time looking for the best doctors. I would say that if your doctor is at Texas Back you have found a good one. I think many people here would agree. I am fortunate to live closer than you do.
Good luck with your search for information and your best outcome.
DAnn
