Do not be surprised if an orthopedic surgeon will decline to accept you as a patient. Some will only replace, not fix, other doctor's work.
I have no first-hand experience but have a friend who goes here and thinks highly of it: UF Health Comprehensive Spine Center in Gainesville (352) 265-7763. It is an interdisciplinary spinal pain clinic and includes surgeons.
UF Florida also has an orthopedic office near The Villages in Summerfield. Here is the phone number I have: 352-259-5658. After an injury that involved surgery elsewhere I was told UF would see me, whereas, a local orthopedic surgeon declined because "Dr. _______ only does replacements."
