Default Deciding on L5/S1 ADR with Rischke

It feels I am on the final 100m on this journey, that moment where you make the call and pull the trigger,

I discussed my case with Dr. B, Rischke and Desai. No answer from Schmitz.
Going with Rischke most likely. My case is not straightforward - require posterior removal of implants and decompression then anterior ADR. L5S1 has a lot of osteophytes beginning to autofuse. I like his choice of disc, personable approach and vast experience. Probably only Dr. B has more experience but the choice of disc and lack of approachability makes me hesitate - I feel Tim V. is doing dr. B and his patients a disfavour.

Anyone having an experience about about Dr. Rischke?

So far I have only heard good things and is a very involved and personable doctor. If anyone has a personal experience with Dr. Rischke please share.

Thank you
