Default completely new to this site

Hi … I am completely new to this site, so I hope that I am not breaking any rules by asking for recommendations for neurosurgeon/hospital in Florida.
I looked through the frequently asked questions, and did a search for doctors in Florida and had no luck.
I need to have cervical spinal neck surgery. This will be C-4 C-5 surgery from what I understand they will be replacing the desks and putting on a plate and I guess then they hope that the replacement bones will fuse. I had this diagnosis done at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital in New Hampshire. Unfortunately I cannot have it treated their. I will need to get treated in Florida. The West Coast of Florida would be better but any place in Florida is doable.

Any help, experiences, recommendations, or places not to go would be hugely appreciate.

Well I live on the West coast of Florida and have had spine surgery. I know of two places worth giving a call to. The first is in Clearwater and it's world renowned it's called the Spine Institute. They have specialist for every area of the spine. The second is in Jacksonvile, and most certainly you've heard of Mayo. Well Mayo has multiple locations and Jacksonville is one of them. Best of luck to you.
