@cookie07 If you are willing to travel to Mayo in Florida, it might not be a bad idea to also consider Mayo in Rochester which is much larger with a lot more spine surgeons. I had a cervical fusion surgery there with Dr. Jeremy Fogelson who is a neurosurgeon and deformity expert. He does many complex scoliosis cases.

To be seen at Mayo, you need insurance that is accepted there. They may not accept the "Medicare Advantage" plans, but you'll need to check with them. Here is the billing information page.

It does take a while to be accepted for a consultation. There are also good surgeons at the Mayo Health Care System which are smaller hospitals and they may have Mayo trained surgeons. Dr. Meghan Murphey was being mentored by Dr. Fogelson at the time of my surgery and she saw me at the hospital. She works in the Mayo Clinic Health System.
