I just returned to the US last Friday after a 2-level ADR with Dr Clavel in Barcelona on January 10th and he & his team are AMAZING. He not only has time for you before he has "your business" and is doing the phone/Skype consult, but also when you have your pre-op, the morning of the operation and your post-op. For my post-op, he had a full waiting room (it was actually pretty funny as 1/2 of us had neck braces on) and he still totally took his time with me and answered each & every question my husband & I had. It is not AT ALL like American care where you are just a number.
Yolanda (his assistant) is very helpful and Laia, the physical therapist, comes to your hotel after you are discharged from the hospital and works with you. She has magic hands! I did not have one negative experience with any one on staff at the hospital - everyone was very pleasant and supportive. I highly recommend you talk to Dr. Clavel. I am sure there are many other good surgeons out there, but I honestly don't think you can do better than Dr. Clavel. |

Amy; i just saw your post and that is most helpful and reassuring. I am anxiously awaiting to hear from Dr Clavel. Yolanda has been corresponding with me and has kept me on track to provide that Dr Clavel needs to make his diagnosis. I did not realize that I might have a Skype call....that would be great. In the meantime, I need to something soon. While I think of it, I should add my history to my signature....soon! Thanks for your comments! I hope that I have such a great experience. Mike

Hey mike! Any news. I'm in new York also and have been in contact w clavel and beirstedt. Tough decisions to make. Has your physiatrist helped you at all? That's one thing I wanted to try. You also may want to look into dr zeegers I had a long phone talk with him for free great guy lots of experience. Stay strong!

I am not really comfortable with the idea of finding out after the surgery what procedure was actually done on me. So I asked for some additional feedback. I read that some people have had Skype calls with Dr Clavel but they have not offered this to me yet. I will Google the name of Dr Zeegers and see if I can find him. Thank you for the feedback.

Zeegers, as of not too long ago, was at the Beta Klinik in Cologne. He's still listed as a consultant on their webpage but I don't know what that means about his practicing there. Kopf, Wirbelsäule, Gelenke, Gefäße - Beta Klinik - Internationale Privatklinik Bonn

Zeegers
wzeegers@zeta.demon.nl. I'm not sure what hospital he is working out of but he's a very nice guy he called me on a sunday afternoon after I emailed him my situation the day before. He asked to hear my entire story then asked a ton of questions and said the diagnosis it the hardest and most Important part. He then emailed me a ton of questions etc to send back to him. He said "I need to know everything about you" lol. Call was no charge. So it's at least another opinion from a guy that's done thousands of procedures.
