Are you open to going to San Antonio? My FIL lives in NB but was recommended to see a specialist in San Antonio. Ironically, had his surgery yesterday. I'll get the name when we go to visit later today if San Antonio is ok.
Are you looking for a surgeon? Have you exhausted all conservative methods? I am a PT in New Braunfels so clearly I am biased to conservative treatment before surgery of any type. Email me at bgraves@mintphysicaltherapy.com if you want my 2 cents.
