Default 3 reason's why

I also am a M-6 patient of Dr. Clavel's. Had a 2 level C-Spine ADR in Oct. 2010. I had sent all my MRI results to 5 Dr.'s oversea's. I Narrowed it down to Dr. Clavel & Boeree.

I chose Dr. Clavel for the following reason's:

1) Cost, he was actually the least expensive at the time for a 2 level. Almost 5K less.

2) Location, Barcelona seemed like such a great place to go. The hospital is very modern and right in the city. My room had a great view of the city and beyond to the ocean.

3) Dr. Clavel is a nueurosurgeon, so my wife who is a 30+ year RN said if someone was going to be messing with my spine her preference was a neuro over an ortho. So her vote carried a lot of weight in the final choice.
