Can you come to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN? I came here with an emergency room dr in Georgia, USA. He was most confident with Dr Bydon and he is happy I have same doctor. Two weeks ago I had surgery for a lateral herniated disk and severe stenosis at L5/S1. Surgery went excellent. Be careful with after care. Follow directions to a tee.
You have to call number listed, have tests sent requested. If approved will be on a waiting list. I had a phone appointment then came for testing and surgery, all within 3 days.
If you come stay at a hotel within a 5 min walk from hospital if you can, especially if you don’t have a car.

Going to the Mayo Clinic at this time is out of the question. But thanks for the advice, especially about following recovery instructions to the "t".
