Second post from a newbie- sorry to hog the board

Briefly, has anyone had surgery at Barnes Jewish in St Louis. I am looking at the spinal surgery department there. It's only 4 hours from me here in Iowa.
I need some place within a few hours of me.

I'd love to hear any input on any of the surgeons. I am looking for a thoracic surgeon who uses Vats if possible.

thank you all again
Sarah
