Thanks, funny thing is that last week I had a signature line that had a lot of my history and it is now gone. One of tomorrows projects:)

Met with my Primary
I met with my primary car physician to discuss surgery in Europe and see if he would be on board-NO
He did say he would be willing if I had a local neurosurgeon to take lead role of follow-up, that has not gone so well, I have met with one from all major practices and am waiting for an appointment with the one I have not yet met with, they said it will be late February to get in for a consult. I am wondering if I could use a doctor that one of you has had, pay the out-of-network insurance fees and use my local primary as a liaison as to not have to travel for every appointment. I need to redo my signature line, but Dr. Clavel is recommending a 3 level adr, if anyone thinks of a doctor I might approach please let me know. Todd |

What did he say? - I just am not going to follow you as a patient if you do this? He won't prescribe pain meds etc.? |
Todd,
It took me weeks to find an ADR surgeon (he's a neurosurgeon) to do my follow up. Here's a link to his healthgrades page. When I found him he'd just moved to the DFW area and I was his very first patient; so he was hungry for business. I hope he'll still such follow ups. Good luck, Jeff |

Sorry this is such as mess for follow-up for you. Have you combed the forums for Buffalo patients? There may be someone on here who has a committed doctor... |
Todd,
What about Dr. Lauryssen in California? About Carl Lauryssen, M.D. � nataliebricker He is going to be one of the Doctors who will do the M6 trial and he is going to start implanting devices in Dubai later this year. Maybe you could get him to take you on and then get his support to Follow you after surgery with Clavel, I know of at least one other person on the board who had him as a doctor and he followed up with them post surgery with Clavel... Also here is the link to the M6-cervical trial: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01609374 The contact info may lead you a Dr. closer to you... |
Thanks Jeff

My doc SUGGESTED I go to Europe in the first place. He took one look at my spine and said I couldn't get the procedure I needed here in the states. So he is willing to follow me here in the states. He is one of the few docs doing two level ADR, but that is only with worker's comp. They will pay for it, insurance will not. He does want me to see a pain management specialist because I have severe allergies to medications, so I am working on that right now. You just had lunch with Jeff, so I assume you live close? Can you go to his doc? |
