Hey, all.
Has anyone heard of a Dr. Jeremy Fogelson at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN?
I have been referred to him for evaluation and possible surgery by the head of the neurosurgery department at the hospital I go to. Mind you, this hospital (the one I go to) is one of the top 50 in the U.S. My neurosurgeon basically feels I need a head to tail fusion, especially in lieu of the severity of my hypokyphosis. My scoliosis is progressing quite rapidly despite the fact that I was under 40o at skeletal maturity. I need new radiographs as my physical appearance has been altered quite a bit over this last year. My doctor is holding off on the radiographs until he finds out what he can arrange and know exactly what they want at Mayo. The insurance is also a bear to say the least!
My doctor insisted that this doctor was "the best" spine surgeon in the country and people flew from around the world just to see him. I've never heard him mentioned on the forum, nor have I ever heard of him period.
So there's a little update on me. More importantly, I would like to know something about this surgeon if anyone knows anything...please?
Thanks,
