" I don't know anyone in Colorado but maybe you can start with the internet. I found this website http://www.neurosurgerytoday.org/d... and it seems helpful. Plus in order to be on this website you have to have specific qualifications.

Hope this helps!

" Where in Colorado are you located? I am on the Western Slope and we have a severe doctor shortage here. It is tough just to find a doctor here let alone a good one.
