I'm not post-op yet, but had the same choice. If you have not spoken with Nick Boeree on the phone yet, that may make your mind up for you. I was very impressed with him, and there was absolutely no question which way to go after that phone conference. I felt he did not truly have a plan in mind until discussing my case with me, then offered different options. (Only had email experience with Ritter-Lang, but found my concerns quickly dismissed and the most aggressive/expensive surgery was recommended without hesitation).
Lower cost was a plus too...
English speaking health care professionals a plus.
