When I started on my journey I was very intrigued with Dr. Bertagnoli.
Certainly he is very skilled. However I'd only personally go with an ESP device... More so for lumbar, but I have both... And in the end both cervical and lumbar are ESP.
Anyway - at the time Dr. Bertagnoli did not use ESP at all. Not sure if he does today, but it ruled him out as a doctor for me.
Given your situation I would consider him a top candidate.
I know of one person who had a cervical revision and she went to Dr. Schmitz. One of the benefits there might be that he's an actual neurosurgeon I think, as opposed to a spine surgeon? I really don't know, but something for you to consider perhaps?
