@linda6101 @jarcher057 I am a Mayo spine surgery patient. I had a smaller surgery for cervical spinal canal stenosis with my surgeon Dr. Jeremy Fogelson at the Rochester campus. He is excellent and also does bigger surgeries as he is a spinal deformity expert. He also is kind and compassionate. I would recommend him highly. It’s now been 10 years since my surgery and I am free of pain and have not had further spinal issues. If you want to be seen at Mayo, first check the website to see if you have insurance coverage for Mayo. It may take a long time to wait for an appointment, and you’ll need to gather imaging studies to send in with an application. At the time I applied, I was told it was a 3 month wait, but I did get in sooner because of a cancellation.
