I just need to add my two cents. It sounds like Dr. Bertagnoli is going to lean towards pro-disc, whether it's a financial interest or a patent. It sounds like it's his "baby". If you want pro-disc and have done research and think that is the best device for you, then by all means, use him. If you want the M6, then stick with Dr. Clavel, Dr. Bierstedt, or Mr. Dare. The research ought to be amongst those 3, leaving Dr. Bertagnoli out of the equation. I must add that it is a nice service when hotel arrangements are taken care of and included in the package. When going abroad for surgery, one has enough to be concerned about without having to make these arrangements.
