I have to say that everyone that recommends Clavel is right on!
Dr Clavel answered all of my 26 questions giving me a lot of satisfaction. He explained the entire procedure and the risks which are minimal.
His plan is to use the Adrius cage to fuse L5-S1 & L4 adding the M6L at L3 to protect the rest of the spine from further deterioration.
He explained the bone plate at L5-S1 was not in good enough shape for the M6L and the facets at the L5 S1 & L4 levels are worn out which would cause problems for M6 L implants and the increased motion they provide.
I am very satisfied with the Dr. Clavel's plan. I just need to have my consult with Dr. Zeegers and receive his "perfect diagnosis. " then make a decision on which surgeon.
Thx for all those that posted.
