I have a question. Who is doing the surgery in Germany, Bierstedt or Illerhaus? My understanding is Illerhaus is better at damage and complications, and Bierstedt does straight forward ADR. That being said, my experience with them is not the best, and after a month of emails back and forth with Ken and Malte, this was my understanding. With Clavel, Yolanda set me his report, followed up with a request for a phone call/ Skype call with the doc. On this Skype call, he explained exactly what he had to do and why he needed to do it. Before you go any further, I would speak with the doctors directly and end the confusion, this is not where you want to be.
