Thanks I interviewed a surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC, supposedly one of the best hospitals, but there are many good ones here. I asked him how many cases he had with complications and he said "none." I was anxious and forgot to ask how many fusions he has done this month, due to sleep deprivation. I will have to ask him on the portal I suppose.

@annie1 whom did you interview. I’m in the process of choosing a surgeon . Two doctors in Sarasota Florida recommended cervical posterior C2-T1. I consulted with a neurosurgeon from HSS who recommended a cervical laminoplasty. I don’t know what to do. They all al warn me that I can loose fuction and I’m in danger of paralysis.
