I don't know anyone personally but I have read many success stories on thoracic disc surgery. Most people I believe opted for neurosurgeons over orthopedic surgeons. Also I have read that surgery is only done as a last resort in that area. What are your symptoms? Who have you consulted? What conservative treatments if anything have they tried?
