Hello @saolson and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'd like to see if I can help with regard to your question on contacting the doctor that performed that surgery. Which doctor are you interested in contacting?

The Dr. at Mayo that assumed my case is Dr. Kane. However, I had my primary Dr. sent a referral to Mayo attention Dr. Seth Sweetser because it was Dr. Sweetser that wrote the paper on AWP and ACNES. In the paper Dr. Sweetser writes that in intractable cases where multiple trigger point injections in addition to other conservative strategies have failed to reduce the pain they provide surgery. The procedure consists of identifying the problem nerve(s) and making a 5-cm incision and excise the nerve. I hope to be able to see Dr. Sweetser
