Hey there, I've been in communication with Dr. Rischke myself. His service quote was circa 40,000 Euro, and the Zurich spine center quote was nearly 50,000 Euro. He actually sounded apologetic and said the Swiss center prices were extremely high (his resort center) and he offered to travel and meet me in Dusseldorf, Germany, presumably as a part of another trip of his to Hamburg. Have you had your surgery yet? Experience and outcomes? Rischke SOUNDS great and he does answer each email and call on Skype, but the lack of other than one person's experience (on YouTube) leaves me slightly concerned. You can private email me at
medicricci@gmail.com or call if you'd like. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Tony
