V.T.
I can't recommend a surgeon. But when I was in Virginia, I had multiple friends of mine have the surgery and were all able to get insurance to pay most of it because they were causing health issues and extreme back pain. If you are having issues you may want to talk to your primary about it and see if there is anything to be done as far as insurance goes. I remember seeing one friend's bills and they were close to $30K before insurance.
