ansnj,
If your decision is between Bierstedt and Clavel, I would personally go with Bierstedt assuming all other factors equal. Both are great surgeons, and I've read a lot of positive things about the rehab program associated with Bierstedt. It sounds like Clavel is capitalizing on his popularity. I hope he doesn't become like Ritter-Lang.
I was going to use Bierstedt myself before my surgeon here talked me out of ADR.
