Doctor Contact Information
Hello All,
I would appreciate any highly rated Dr. contract information you can share. I am having a lot of difficulty getting an evaluation for the LP-ESP. I have tried contacting Dr. Bierstedt through his liason (a month an half with no response) and Malte Petersen at m.petersen@germanspinespecialists.com (email address no longer valid). I am also having difficulty finding this through the search feature. Please feel free to post or message me. Thank you.

Thank you Richard. I would appreciate any direct contact information for highly rated German surgeons other than Bierstedt or Illerhaus.

Bertagnoli at ProSpine in Bogen is still practicing and accepting patients. We didn't actually get to the point of contacting him so I can't help you with any thoughts about ease of reaching his office but we did go searching for his status and contact info within the past couple of months.
When Laura first pursued ADR with Zeegers and Bertagnoli, we found that signing up for Skype and using it to follow up after initial contact emails tended to give us pretty good responses. The Skype US to Germany subscription is $3 a month for a hundred minutes of call to a landline time so that worked well for us a few months back when Laura had a spine pain scare and got some diagnostic help from another German doctor.

My experience with Whatsapp is that the person you're contacting needs to want to be contacted. Using Skype to call an international phone number worked better for the cold call to get someone to talk with. Once you've established the contact and are moving forward, there's way too many ways to continue the communication.

I had excellent care from Dr. Schmitz in Dusseldorf, but the post-op communication has been disappointing.
