Where is the closest research hospital in your area?

I live within 50 miles of the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals (Cleveland) and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Doctors within 20 miles of my home are not great but those hospitals are.

In a research hospital you will find the latest techniques and clinical trials.

Off topic, sort of: year or so ago a friend of mine broke her back will living in the Chinese countryside - not exactly the place I would want to have a serious operation at but she could not be moved. When she met her surgeon he had just finished a rotation at the Cleveland Clinic for the type of operation she needed to be able to walk again.

God bless!
