@deden Welcome to Connect. I think my neurosurgeon, Jeremy Fogelson, at Mayo in Rochester, MN would be a good fit for what you need. He is a spine deformity specialist and does complex surgeries to better correct spine alignment. You couldn't find a nicer more compassionate surgeon and he is excellent and loves his job. He did my cervical fusion a few years ago at Mayo. He also teaches in the neurosurgery program at Mayo and mentors other surgeons.

Here is Dr. Fogelson talking about scoliosis treatment.

If you do want to request a consult with Dr. Fogelson, you can use this link to contact Mayo Clinic. They can arrange for you to send in imaging and you may request that it be sent to him for review. There is no charge to have a doctor look at your case in requesting an appointment.

I don't have scoliosis, and I will help answer questions from my experience about spine surgery at Mayo.

Thank you for this information. I am trying to track down x-rays I had taken at Duke about 10 years ago and then will decide on follow-up options to see if there have been any significant changes since then. I do an annual lung capacity test with my pulmonologist to be sure my lung capacity is not decreasing.
