If he just cared about the money, he would do whatever. Dr. Clavel is and was still a wonderful surgeon and human being. He has always been there for me post-op! I have an M6-C and an ESP-C, and...

Please, always get at least a 2nd and or 3rd opinion.

Dr. Clavel was fantastic for me. Super nice man, and Olga was the sweetest. I feel like I know her even though we haven't met. The M6C is a wonderfully engineered disc for 2 level cervical but...

Hi Seifty
I sent you a PM. Hope that helps give you some informed insight. I would highly suggest another ADR than a cage. A cage is very ridged and cannot be easily removed later. I would be concerned with it...

Here is another one

My personal experience
Insurance usually only covers 50% out of network and will not cover the cost of a device that is not approved in the U.S. These devices are about $5000 each. So even if you get approved, you are out...
