Hi LauraB,
I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the doctors your considering.
This is what I did. When I had my MRI and X-ray images in digital format I sent them to 6 doctors/hospitals, 3 in the US and 3 in Europe. Only the Mayo didn't respond. 5 responses were consistent that I needed 3 disc's done. The responses did have different solutions from fusion, ADR, combination, posteria and anteria operations.
Something I read somewhere, the US is 20 years behind Germany in ADR, I live in Canada and I think we're sadly 30 years behind Germany.
This was going to cost my wife and I a lot of money and I had to know what was seen in the MRI, what did the doctors see in my MRI slides I sent them so I asked. I got a response ( not going to be specific ) this slide, this slide and this slide.
My thoughts were okay, don't know what you saw but it seems about right. I was quite hard on the doctors/hospitals I dealt with, not nasty, but asked a lot of questions before I made my choice.
