I live in Atlanta and have had surgery
I've chosen not to name where I had my surgery as I didn't have the best experience. I have no problem with my former surgeon's skill level but the surgery he chose, I feel, had a financial motive. My advice would be to get multiple opinions and learn as much as you can. Don't let anyone rush you to anything unless your symptoms are severe i.e., bowel or bladder problems and/or sever nerve weakness.
I like Emory spine. Also, a lot depends on what you are dealing with as far as levels and severity of your problems. PM me if you want me to elaborate on my experience.
