I agree that European surgeons don't have the edge anymore over US except perhaps in complicated cases or revisions. So try to find US docs who do a lot of your procedure. Texas Back is certainly a place to start. HSS isn't really a high volume ADR shop as far as I know. And yes, it is easier to chase US docs post surgery that chasing Spanish or German ones. And finally, I don't know that your prior lamo disqualifies you from ADR (although it may give your insurer a basis not to cover it). Hope this helps
