Hi,

I require neck and back surgery which will require that the doctor replace/stabilise the damaged disks and bone.  I am aware that I can get these surgeries done in the states, but would like to look at options outside of the U.S. (especially since my family and I intend to relocate).

Colombia was an area we were considering and felt that perhaps it may be a good opportunity to check out the country while I am convalescing (which depending on the procedures used could be a long process).

I was wondering if anyone had any experience in dealing with orthopaedic and neurosurgeons whom they felt were good surgeons and provided quality service.  This is pretty serious stuff so I thought getting some feedback here would be better than just looking at adverts on the internet.  I do plan to do my due diligence, but referrals would help weed out the bad docs with good adverts.

I have a a small child so I was hoping to perhaps rent a house that has a yard for my family (which includes pets) while I recover.  Doesn't have to be large cities like Bogota or Medellin. We can travel to where ever the doctor is.

Appreciate any insight any of you can provide.
