Keith my wife just had major surgery on her neck in Nov.2010. She is doing good. She used a Dr.Spitzler in Phoenix at St. Joseph hospital. He is rated #1 we are told. Might be worth a call. She is doing great. They removed her top vertibrae completely and moved her brain forward,major stuff and she is doing good.She is pretty much healed up.Thankfully she is doing much better.
