I did try to get over to Germany to see Dr. Bertagnoli but the insurance company was not hearing any of that. I even offered to pay my own airfare. DENIED!
The closest I came to Dr. B. was a handshake at the *** Symposium last year.
Prodisc is what Dr. B likes. Gee...Is he experimenting on people??? I would take his experiments over a "Sherreat" surgeon with no experience.
