A LOT of the patients here have had or are scheduled to have surgery with him and I think you would find a consultation with him beneficial.

I was just going to say the same thing! I have never felt more comfortable with a doctor, and I think most doctors are idiots. (I've had a run of bad experiences until recently, including nearly being killed by one). I am looking at possibly six levels and feel completely comfortable with Dr. Clavel. When I opened up our consultation my first question was if there was a time limit for the consultation, and if there was I was prepared to pay for as much time as I needed. He seemed entirely perplexed and said "Time limit? There's no time limit."
No amount of money can buy THAT kind of care. Only a decent person who genuinely cares about his patients can provide that.
