Biakenny,
I am no expert,especially with lumbar issues,
But I did consult with Mr Boeree prior to my recent hybrid cervical surgery and I could not have been more impressed. Iwould have been comfortable with him as surgeon. Decided to go with Dr Blumenthal here in TX and so far am totally pleased. It ended up being a decision for my future care as well as surgical expertise vs the device. I know others have had very good results picking the device as well as a surgeon overseas. I feel I made the right decision for me, but everyone is different.
Good luck with your decision and keep doing your research.
DAnn
