Toma,
I understand your initial fear....having someone expose your spinal nerves is not
easy to accept. In my case, I was willing to accept the risks, as I could no longer bear the near constant muscle spasms, combined with existing in a "drugged-out state" every day.
It was nearly one year from my first contact with Dr. Feigenbaum until the day of my surgery. During that time I underwent a series of tests at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. The final test was a temporary nerve block, which confirmed the source of the muscle spasms.
As for travel and lodging in Dallas, I know nothing about that, as my surgery was performed in Kansas City when Dr. Feigenbaum practiced at the Research Medical Center there. I would suggest you contact the staff at Dr. Feigenbaum's office and request information from them regarding hosing recommendations while in Dallas.
If you would like to speak directly with me, Private Message me and we can exchange phone numbers. I'm here to help.
David
