Can anybody recommend a neurosurgeon outside of The Villages, such as in Orlando, Tampa or Gainesville?

I have a fused L4L5 disc. Dr Christopher Baker in Orlando. He did an awesome job; fixed and zero problems with it. He cleaned out the stenosis while he was in there. Highly recommend him.
Had work related injury.
I did a lot of research and was pretty scared as most came out to 50/50 with positive fusion results.
I found him by being in a Margaritiville demo home before moving to T V. I was crouched on the floor "fixing" my back into place. A guy came in and I excused myself for being in the way. He said "no problem, I can relate. I had my back done 6 mos ago and feel 10 years younger." I asked who he went to. He said Neurosurgeon, Dr. Christopher Baker in Orlando. I called next day and set appt.
As my injury was work related I went through work comp process. At my "hearing" with attorneys, the w c attorney on my employers side no less, said. "Good thing you went to a neorosurgeon. We would have sent you to an orthopedic dr and you would be lucky to walk again."
Anyway I met 2 angels from being in that model home that day. Yep, Dr Christopher Baker all the way.
Good luck! Hope your wife feels better soon.
