I certainly hope you receive the level of care that you are counting on in Malaysia. But frankly, I beg to differ on your statement of believing you will get the same level of expertise as that of Germany. You say your surgeon has performed approximately 100 ADR'S. Dr. Bertagnoli and Dr. Zeegers have EACH performed close to 3,000 ADR'S. 3,000 and 100 is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. No offense, but these are plain facts. Both Dr. B and Dr. Z are well-known to be "the gods of multi-level disc replacement." Just thought a correction was in order.
