I asked a good friend of mine who has family in the health care industry ( RN ) and some personal experience with neurosurgeons... husband was in Intensive Care for nine weeks following a brain infection last year.

This was her response:

Stewart Smith, Kevin Kelly or their new partner Beringer. Smith does mostly back, etc. and Kelly does more head and brain. But she has heard that Beringer is very good also. Of course, we are partial to Kelly but ours wasn't back issues.

There is also Dr. Odor. I can't remember where he practices.

Also, definitely NOT Shadid or L'heureaux!!!!!

( Disclaimer, her personal opinion - I know nothing about it).

Hope this is helpful!
