Default Colorado spine centers?

Hello All

I am wondering if anyone has any experience of spine centers in Colorado? It is closer to me than other centers.Direct flight. Utah were no help. Idaho also no help. CA. plenty of help long distance two connections, etc, Germany Argh, Brazil no longer in contact?
My neck is now more painful than my lumbar Should have a C Spine MRI but the machine here In Jackson is old and the images are not great. its a 3 out of 5 Would rather pay for one.

Thank you all in advance

Gil

Hey Gil, I'm not sure what you are looking for. MRI? Surgery?

I'd be looking for the place with the most appropriate solutions. What is driving your decision? Ski in, ski out location? Fewest connections?

I have arranged MRI's done here in Los Angeles for <$500 for "payment, day of service" patients.

I am looking for better MRI resoulition the machine here is old and not good.

I am broke no money. all tied up in bad real estate due to the economy, so looking for short flights at a good price!

Insurance will not help on surgery go figure.The main reason for not going out of country. If I had some money I would of had the surgery some time ago!

Ever heard of Dr Michael Janssen Center for Spinial Disorders Colorado?

Thanks

Gil

Janssen is one of the more prominent spine surgeons in the US. He is an early adopter of new technologies and has been involved in many clinical trials. On the forums through the years, we've seen many people going to Janssen with good things to say about him. I don't have any personal experience with him, except that the is a frequent presenter at the spine converences and I've seen many of the panels that he's participated in.
