I used an orthopedic surgeon for my minor back surgery. I found out my orthopedic doctor has been doing a procedure implanting expanders in between
vertebrae’s for many years as many doctors have just started
expanders . Neurosurgeon versus
orthopedic surgeon I suppose you have good reasons . Good luck .
