I would do your due diligence rather than taking advice from someone who knows someone whose neighbor had such and such.

In coming to T.V. I had severe disc issues so my primary referred me to Dr. Daniel Spurrier, who is a neuro-surgeon. He's here in T.V. and comes with *excellent credentials. I had a dissectomy on my ruptured disc. While in the emergency room, in the hospital room, surgery wait/area and later home with home-health-care, he was highly praised by every one I spoke with. The physical therapist given to me said he'd seen "many" folks who'd had various practioners but by far he'd recommend Dr. Spurrier after seeing botched procedures etc. I think there is a thread on here that talks about the Lazar Spinal Center---several would not recommend it.
