I have had no problem w/ Dr Clavel getting back to me within a reasonable time frame. The 1 or 2 semi-urgent post-op concerns he responded to the same day. Obviously there's a time difference and he's in the OR or clinic a lot like surgeons here, but all in all I have been pleased with how he's handled my post-op concerns.
I'd recommend you review the thread Dingie started about follow-up care when you get home... though it seems cervical patients have fewer needs than lumbar ones. incision is less likely to have issues due to location, faster recovery time, easier to rest and treat neck/arm issues than butt/hip/leg.
