a word of caution
Don't pick your doctor based on price. Two Germany surgeons gave me way lower costs than did Clavel, but I went with Dr. Clavel because his assessment was the most accurate and complete.
I would have most likely needed another surgery within a year or so if I had gone another direction.
Remember Dr. Clavel is in high demand for a reason. He and his staff, his hospital are worth the wait. While right now is a busy with others someday that will be you he is busy for while someone else waits in turn behind you. When you're in a doctors office you want them to spend time with you but yet you get impatient while waiting to be called back. If I needed any other spine surgery; I would not hesitate to go back to Dr. Clavel. Do you homework and make an informed choice. Be well and God bless.
