Welcome to NeuroTalk Zaria!

Are you close to a major city? Or near a Mayo Clinic? If I needed a neurosurgeon that would be where I would start. It sounds like you're willing to travel and I can understand that, especially if this is a complicated surgery only done by a few doctors.

When I was in the process of being diagnosed with MS I had an appointment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

At the time, I was actually able to call and speak to a nurse. Good luck in finding an excellent surgeon and with the surgery and recovery as well. Take care.
