On your decision, I think thatwas the most difficult part of this whole process. I just had a 3 level with Dr. clavel on 3/14, I am still in Spain, wide awake at midnight
.
I will chime in with the others, I have been so impressed with Dr. clavel and Hospital Quiron! I will say I have found the postop discomfort to be more than tylenol and motrin would handle, but Dr. clavel says everything is normal, the more levels the more pain, he has handled my discomfort and I was able to walk the neiborhood today.
Good luck I will keep you in my prayers, you are in good hands
