Hi I am David from Chicago does any one have advice on a good spine surgeon to do minimal invasive surgery for foraminal surgery in three areas of my spine? Thank you.

Don't know anyone in particular but rule of thumb is that Hospital for Special Surgery is the best. I also have bad back/neck issues but haven't pulled the trigger.

David, can't your Chicago doctor make some recommendations?

Failing that. check out the annual New York magazine's "Best Doctors" issue.

Dr. Toto is the best. He is based in Brownsville, BK.

I've heard amazing things about Hospital for Special Surgery. Unfornuately I don't think my terrible health insurance would cover anything there.

I've had mixed opinions on HSS, depending on the doctor. I've been to several, including one for an epidural. Never again.

Then I would look to a doctor or hospital based on Long Island. Northshore or Long Island Jewish hospitals.

My Sister in law had gone to "Hospital for Special Surgery", and it is the best hospital for back surgeries.
google it, and do your homework, any back type of surgery is nothing to take lightly.
