@nlback22 Hello! I want to welcome you to Connect. I can provide some information about my Mayo neurosurgeon, Jeremy Fogelson. He is a spine deformity expert and does some extensive cases with deformity and scoliosis corrections. My surgery wasn't for that, but I had unusual symptoms for spinal cord compression that other surgeons misunderstood, so that is how I came to Mayo in Rochester.

Dr. Fogelson was trained at Mayo in neurosurgery, and also did an orthopedic spine fellowship at another medical center, and came back to Mayo to work and teach in the neurosurgery program. He is an excellent surgeon and is very kind. That is why I help here on Connect, because his surgery changed my life. I talk about him a lot, and he is in demand, but is worth waiting for and he loves his job. There is a lot of information here about his complex cases.

Here are some links and his profile. If you wish to request an appointment with him, you may use this link to get started: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
