Confused cervical stenosis-surgery

hi-I am new to the site.have been suffering with stenosis for 5-6 years. syptoms include numbness and tingling in feet 24-7. Some numbness in legs, weakness in left calf, neck pain numbness in neck and fingers. Symptoms seem to be getting worse. I am considering surgery-have thought about Dr. Jho @ Allegheny hospital in Pittsburgh. Would appreciate some help as to how to go about assessing what would be the right treatment. Internist says no surgery, Neurologist says to wait. Neurosurgeon wants to operate , anterior foraminotomy, complete with fusion .HELP-art
