@jenniferhunter thank you very much for your response. I can’t express how much it means to me and my family and how fortunate we feel to have been accepted into Mayo. I’ve been assigned to Dr. Mikula for the surgery consult and PA Kadlec as the medical evaluation physician. Medical evaluation in the morning and surgical around noon. If it is surgery, do they do it that day or do we come back? Thank you so very much for your help!

@jorgy20 Dain, I'm sorry I missed your post here, but I was traveling that day. Mayo would likely not be scheduling surgery the same day as your consult. If you were in an emergency situation and transported to the hospital with a substantial spine injury, you could have surgery the same day with a surgeon who is on emergency call that day. You will have your consult, and if they think your best option is surgery, they will schedule it according to the surgeons schedule. It may be in a couple weeks, but that depends on when the doctor is available for planned surgeries and not attending medical conferences, etc. I was looking for the doctor you mentioned, but can't find them. Is that spelling correct for Dr. Mikula?
