Multiple Opinions
I agree with the "Stone". get multiple opinions because my experience with the Dr. Bertagnoli US contact was not pleasant, while Dr. Zeegers was probably one of the best doctors I had the pleasure of directly communicating with. I am not even sure Dr. B reviewed my files. Tim, his US handler, made so many mistakes, indicated I was a candidate for a Cervical ADR (Oh by the way, I have a single Level issue at L4/5. haha). This does not say anything about Dr. B's ability, just the process for US patients.
Since your case is unique a few opinions may be necessary. Just make sure you are not just searching for a doctor to say Yes to ADR. It needs to be the correct solution to your diagnosis.
