Looking for care for multiple chronic and complex conditions

Tank your taking the time to write your generous response. My wife was accepted for a specific issue at Mayo in Florida in September. That was a successful 10 hour trip.
I looked thru the site you recommended but very few physicians are listed within a reasonable distance. We feel if we are spending the time and energy we need a resource that provides a multiple disciplined approach.
we hope you are still doing well after your procedures!

@mckinney3 Thank you. Yes, I have done well since my surgical procedures. The ankle was much more troublesome than the cervical spine surgery. I just think it takes a very long time to regain strength after a serious fracture and the muscle atrophy that goes along with the healing and then bearing weight on it. I still think I am progressing slowly, and it may take a few years to reach maximum healing and probably will never be the same as before the injury. Compared to the ankle, spine surgery was easy for me anyway! You might be interested in my Mayo Clinic story.

I agree with Colleen to keep trying for a referral through your first doctor from Mayo.
