The reason for my move to Clavel
He was the only one that in his assessment he noticed the segmental kyphosis upon flexion below the c 6/7 at T1. He said the 6/7 for sure and is ready to do two level if needed. He doesn't want for me to have to come back. Dr.Beirstedt albeit a surgeon to his credit, missed this. When I asked him about it he stood by his original assessment of one level only at 6/7. I need someone who is going to look at the whole spine. Not just an MRI but goes by my symptoms too. Plus the M6 is my only chance to stop the ALDDD. God willing. There are several doctors that are doing hybrids here in the US but they are using the mobi-c and Bryan and I worry about facet joint issue without the steady low profile keels like what the M6 has.
