How long it takes for surgery in Europe

Hi Patty,

When the going gets tough, try Mark GPN Artificial Disc Replacement ADR. He has worked closely with both doctors. Mark is an ADR, spinal patient advocate. Among other things, he can smooth out some of the wrinkles and though you can contact both doctors direct, your urgent situation sounds like it requires some intervention.

Dr. Bitan is also an excellent doctor but you'd also have to pay out of pocket for the surgeries in Germany, though usually much less expensive. Either way, I'd run to the phone to contact Mark. The man is truly a miracle worker (I speak from first hand experience).

My experience - in 2006, I could have had surgery in germany 8 weeks after first email, and I was not in a hurry. I think if you emailed and phoned, hopefully you would get an answer soon. I think you can upload xrays and mris to the website for them to view.

Last time I checked in 2009, single level cervical would have been about $22,000 plus travel. I would guess two level around $32,000 plus travel.

Contact Mark if you've not already esp. if you're looking at options that need to happen quickly for whatever reason. Dr.Bitan has an excellent reputation from what I recall~ again someone Mark knows and would be able to talk to you about.

Good luck. Keep us updated.
