My thoughts
Dr. Clavel was fantastic for me. Super nice man, and Olga was the sweetest. I feel like I know her even though we haven't met. The M6C is a wonderfully engineered disc for 2 level cervical but without a fusion or hybrid. I think the jury is still out on its durability in the lumbar.
There is negative outcomes on almost every surgeon here. Complications and risk can happen with any surgeon that is outside their Control.
Dr. Schmitz in Dusseldorf can use the M6 I believe, but he leans towards the ESP. My revision was extremely complex and Dr. Schmitz had to close a spinal fluid leak. Excellent surgeon and care.
