Hi Sessy,

I'm sure there are excellent surgeons in your neck of the woods. I found people who knew other people who had local surgeries. In other words your normal network of co-workers, friends, family and the like. I sought these people out to learn their experience. Hospital nurses can be a good source of info on doctors. I don't really trust the online reviews but they are okay in collaborating recommendations from back patients in your network. I don't really know any other approach.
