No grudges, but I'm thankful I never went to him!
Clavel is the top nuero in the world, and pettine is just a ortho.
The credentials and resumes don't even do justice when you compare the two!
Sorry to offend you if I did. By no means, was it my intention.
I'm glad you are living your life again :-)

I don't know your story and there are always two sides. I am so happy you are doing better and Dr. Clavel was your surgeon. As far as comparing the two, that is subjective. One is a nuero and the other is an ortho. You had surgery by Clavel and I had surgery by Pettine. We are both doing great and we have our life back. In the end, that is all that matters.
I still don't think it is right to go on a public forum and to trash a surgeon's reputation. When I was searching for my surgeon, I went through 5 before I made my decision. I didn't connect with the other 4 and as soon as I met Dr. Pettine, I knew he was the man. I even connected with several surgeon's in Europe but felt comfortable with Dr. Pettine's skills and got insurance to pay. It was a deal breaker for me and it was the best decision I ever made.
As far as stem cells go, it sounds like after he reviewed your films that stem cells were a great option rather than doing surgery. When he looked at my films, he said I was to progressed and that stem cells were not an option. However, I was a candidate for an IV procedure due to chronic pain. I opted in for the procedure as well as surgery for my cervical and lumbar. The stem cells cured my fibromyalgia and I am not free of chronic pain. Perhaps you are upset because you didn't like his advice. I do know one thing about Dr. Pettine, he would suggest stem cells if he thought you were a good candidate and would not perform surgery if he thought stem cells could heal you. Surgery is the last resort.
