Default Josh, first let me say....

Thank you for your service!

So sorry to hear about your accident. Airborne troops are at high risk for these types of issues.

I must tell you that Ritter Lang is the lowest rated surgeon and outcomes with the most complications of all mentioned on this sight. I strongly urge you to steer clear of him.

ONZ is as good as most, but sometimes their assessments are lacking and their patient coordinator needs to practice a friendlier manner. Their facility is highly rated and they use the latest prosthesis.

I had an exceptional outcome with Dr. Schmitz at Clinic Bel Etage in Dusseldorf Germany. My first ADR with Dr. Clavel was positive as well. Dr. Clavel is really committed to the M6; which has had some negative outcomes with lumbar. Dr. Schmitz has many options he can use if one is not right. Plus he has perfected the use of an ultrasonic bone scalpel. It's super high tech.

Both are very kind. Their patient coordinators are so sweet. Jessica at Dr. Schmitz's and Olga at Dr. Clavel's.

You will have to get a certified letter from Dr. Schmitz to enter Germany for medical reasons.

I doubt that Spain is letting anyone in regardless.

I wish you the best of luck!
