Texas Back Institute has some wonderful surgeons as well. There are a number of out of country surgeons we can recommend as well.

I just came back from Brazil, where I had a very successful cervical ADR and a two level lumbar fusion surgery done, at much less cost than with other out-of-country surgeons.

Dr. Luiz Pimenta was my surgeon, and he works closely with Nuvasive, a California company that devises minimally invasive appliances and techniques.
