@pjmax11 Hello and welcome to Connect. I wanted to share with John in welcoming you and I will do my best to answer your questions. All Mayo campuses have neurosurgeons, but the Rochester campus might be the largest group of neurosurgeons with subspecialties. I had spine surgery at Mayo Rochester with Dr. Jeremy Fogelson who is a spine deformity expert and who does a lot of scoliosis cases. My case was for cervical spinal cord compression. My experience as a spine surgery patient was excellent. I was highly impressed with everyone at Mayo. You might enjoy my patient story.

Here is a list of Mayo neuro-surgeons (all 3 campuses) and each profile tells what there special interests are.

May I ask what your son is looking for in treatment of the spine? Does he have a diagnosis of a structural problem that can be addressed by surgery?
