Well I do not know the two you mentioned but when I lived in WI, I drove down to Aurora, IL, SW of Chicago and had a consult with Dr. Geisler. He's one of the Charite guys...involved in the Charite FDA clinical trials, and probably the Kineflex ADR trials.

Personality wise, I wasn't a fan of Dr. Geisler but I had compared him to my favorite surgeon Dr. Westerlund that used to practice in so cal now in Georgia. But if you want another opinion, and you're driving north...you might want to consider him.

The problem I had with Dr. Geisler is that he seemed too loyal to Charite and unwiling to openly compare and discuss the pros and cons of all the different discs.

Good luck.
