I'm old, and my neck needs help.

Any good recommendations?

What part of town do you live in? Sometimes it is helpful to see a pain specialist before a surgeon. Texas Orthopedics has at least 2 that many people like....K Bunch and A Mukai. Surgeons James Smith at TXO and John Stokes are surgeons to consider.

Dr. Anant Patel, MD; Texas Brain and Spine did two stenosis surgeries on my cervical (neck) and lumbar (back). He's really good.

Thanks for the addtl suggestions

I have been very happy with Dr Mukai. I believe she only sees patients at the south 360 and 38th street locations however.
