If he didn't ask you for any more tests, I would assume he will give you his recommendation at the end of his lengthy report. Another patient hired Dr. Zeegers last year right after me and had the same long wait. Sounds like he is almost done and you'll get your answers. He's just a very analytical guy and the report will confirm to you that he paid attention to everything you told him.

Dr. Zeegers did tell me he only recommended two ADR's in my neck IF I was a ADR candidate (see notes above.) Dr. Bierstedt recommended ADR for the same two levels. They were both more conservative. Dr. Clavel however said that I had significant cord compression at the one in the middle so, he recommended three. No other surgeon made that comment. It was a tricky decision but, I went with Dr. Clavel and the rest is in my post surgery story.

Dr. Zeegers is known for being a great lumbar surgeon so, he is worth the wait. (Not a lot of people from this Board went to him for cervical disc replacement so, for him I just lacked the data I wanted plus, the other things I mentioned.) I know it's frustrating but, at least you are almost there! The other thing about Dr. Zeegers is that he will talk to you on the phone a lot about his diagnosis. He's a good ear to bounce your thoughts off of when trying to noodle out this puzzle.
