Wow, go Biff!! You bring up some good points about the consequences of going abroad. Will consider...
Dale, your post concerns me because I had just decided on Delamarter because of the things I've heard about Regan. There has to be another alternative. I did see Micahel Wang (NS) at USC Spine Center early on in this process and liked him. I think he's a Charite guy but not as prolific as Delamarter or Regan. He seems very decent. Just a thought.
Wish I had more to recommend, for both of us...
