Hi Kathy,
Look in the surgical outcomes most Drs and are mentioned in there you can PM or E mail those members whose surgery interests you.
Best

Does Dr. B. allow camping on the property for lower-income pts?

Thanks for your responses. I was quoted $33,000 euro 1 1/2 yrs ago for 3 level adr. I was wondering how much it has gone up.

Hi Kathy,
I have been told to expect a 1 level L5-S1 Charite replacement to cost about $50K + or -. That's for the surgeon, anesthesiologist, artificial disc, & the hospital stay. Hope that helps!

Hi Kathy,

I'm almost 6 months post-op and my 3 level with Dr. B plus a discogram and a 9 day hospital stay cost 37000 Euro, about $45,000. With business class airfare, hotels, food and Mark ******* from *** accompanying my husband and me, the total was a little more than $60,000. I also asked for a private room so my husband could stay with me and the extra cost is included in the 37000 Euro. If memory serves, I think this was about 80 Euros extra per day for 5 days.

The total cost goes down with coach airfare and without Mark. I felt both were worth the extra cost. The hotels and food are relatively inexpensive compared to what we expect in the US and were the least expensive part of the cost.

Please feel free to email me privately if you want more specifics. Good luck,

Dale
