Thanks everyone. Tpatti, I'll be in touch regarding your experience with Dr. C. He seems like a really good guy, and he's certainly experienced but my case is rather unique when you factor in the kyphosis, and I worry about just how risky his approach is. I've also read some ugly things about him on various "grading" websites but I'm not convinced those are trustworthy...not to mention all of the satisfied people that don't feel the need to post. My experience so far with him does not fit what some are saying. The advice regarding AIMIS sounds spot on. The more I read about it, the more I worry it's exactly as described: a platform for US docs to take on the riskiest cases without repercussions. Unfortunately, as Dr C wants to do two ADRs and two fusions -- a hybrid (which is not FDA approved), I wonder if there is no other choice for him but to do it in Cyprus through AIMIS. This is so hard. I'm a filmmaker, not a neurosurgeon.
