I would like to recommend Dr. L. Madison Michael at Semmes-Murphy Clinic in Memphis, TN. He specializes in TN and he is the head of the brain/spine center at Methodist Hospital. He's polite, to the point, tells you like it is and doesn't B.S. you. He's funny in the sense that he says "If you come in here grinning, then NO SURGERY. If you're not grinning anymore or not talking, then we talk about surgery.". I think he is very intelligent and I think he knows a lot about TN since this is his area of interest. Glad I found him. :-)
