Ansnj,
I'm sure Dr. Clavel and other surgeons mentioned here are great surgeons. However, since I'm a native German (living in the USA) I preferred looking for a surgeon in Germany. Dr. Bierstedt is skilled in what he does, efficient and besides that has a very caring attitude and might be more affordable. (it was for me). He doesn't charge anything for a consultation by phone or skype. In the end its the surgeon you feel most comfortable with.
