Sandy -- My 2 cents
Sandy --
Just had my 2 level cervical case done last week in Bogen with the Bertagnolit team. A very nice experience overall and the initial outcome is positive.
However, I have a friend who also had a single level done domestically with great results.
My recommendation to you is to get several opinions, domestic and international, and go with your gut. However, if your case involves severe herniations for which the prognosis of conservative treatment is poor do not wait for surgery too long. Though I have some post surgery neck pain, it is nothing like before. No need to maximize suffering!
