Top thoracic doctors that I have come across
I also have herniation at that level, not a serious as yours though. I have been fighting it for 8 yrs now and in alot of research there are several names that keep coming up in the thoracic spine discussion. I am personally scheduling surgury with Dr. Fessler, min invasive. Good luck and I had severe leg pain when I initially hurt thoracic and I could almost trace the nerve sensation from thoracic area down to leg.
PS. I only list these names to possibly save you some time finding thoracic doctors, you have to do your reasearch on each. I have personally only consulted with 3 on the list.

thoracic probs
RosyRivets,
Sorry you have found us this way thru such circumstances tho glad you are here and hope you will find some answers as there are a few persons here w/thoracic injuries and I believe some who've had surgery in this area as well. Hopefully Mark will see your thread and respond and you could also direct a post/thread to him to ask questions. Good luck with other consultations and finding someone who you will feel comfortable trusting your spine to in the event you'll be having more surgery.

Thank you both for your responses! Wish I was closer for the doctors you list. Tomorrow I am going for my second consult and I hope within the week see the third nuerosurgeon. I should find some answers on the t6-7 and maybe the lumbar that the original surgeon said I needed additional surgery for.

My mom sent me this about a min. invasive thoracic fusion. I guess as time goes by we may get better ways to do it. I know there is VATS, some fusion surgury Dr. Dickman does, and this with nuvasive. Time will tell. Bright side is that we avoid many of the adjacent problems that lumbar, cervical have.
