I have some back issues that have sent me to Dr. Dan Spurrier here in The Villages. Some years back I asked him "what if I have trouble while I'm up north?" He told me to see a neurosurgeon!

I wouldn't go to a place like the one you're asking about. First of all I don't like their ad..."promising"....PLUS they aren't specialists in the practice of the spine. Think spinal fluid, spinal cord...both are connected to your brain! I wouldn't mess with someone like these guys!!!! You can also google their names...do your own sleuthing...see where they were trained and if there's any red flags!!

When I had my spinal surgery with Dr. Spurrier...all across the board from EMT's, emergency room personnel, medical staff on the surgical floor, surgical staff AND the home-health personnel told me he was THE best. The p.t. person told me he'd seen examples of others and he'd seen some real messes.
