Hi Danielle,
your Mr Davies has been in Southampton and qualified in 1990, he does have a website which looks as if it's under construction here
http://www.spine-surgeon.co.uk/
I don't know anything about him at all, about his successes or failures or his abilities.
Unless you have a medical condition that requires a specific fusion proceedure, nowadays ADR is MUCH better
Under the new law you are entitled to a choice of five surgeons, I don't have your immediate e-mail address so cannot post you with information about that. Please e-mail me by clicking on my name. I had my surgery across with Dr Zeegers who of course is the world's most experienced ADR surgeon.
I consider Mr Lam the finest spine surgeon in the country at this time and would have no problems recommending him. If you had to go for an option to Mr Lam and make your PCT pay for it, what about Mr Shair in Peterborough, I know it's a long way from you but he has a good site here if you can't get in with Mr Lam.

There are a number of us who have been across the Germany to Dr Zeegers for ADR. Not many have been to Dr Bertanogli, but a lot of the Americans have.
I'm fairly totally exhausted today, we had my eldest son's wedding at weekend. Please e-mail me if you think I can help any further, and if you want a chat leave me a phone number with your area code please -- -- -- I have an hours free phone call, on any phone call within the UK
best,
Alastair
