Dr. Bierstedt did my surgery as such I've met the man. He is one of the modest and quiet people I've ever met, that struck me when I met him pre op. He was pretty much the same way when we met post op twice, once at the hospital, once at Medicos.
It's his choice to do two surgeries a day, I'm told he'll do a third but only if it's an emergency. He likes to take his time and get it right.
I was the first that day, a 3 level lumbar ADR. The guy after me, as I recall, had a 2 level lumbar ADR and a 3 level fusion somewhere higher up. He basically had anterior and posterior surgery the same day. Last I heard he's doing well. He doesn't post to the forum.
