I can't speak to this practice, however I can tell of my experience with non-evasive spinal surgery. I had a discsectomy 4 yrs ago by Dr. Spurrier (who no longer in in The Villages). He's a neurosurgeon and didn't do surgery unless it was indicated. My experience was a ruptured lumbar disc which was excruciating. The surgery left 'maybe' a 2" scar and the recovery time was 2 weeks after which I was given the "go and do anything you want" from the doctor. I would do my homework if I were to have any spinal surgery. Not sure I'd have an orthopedic surgeon do it but it they have high accredidation and they're the only ones available, then perhaps. I've heard of a neurosurgical practice in Ocala....have you checked with them??
