Alpha Klinik is not the only game in town.
Dave,
It may be that Alpha Klinik will not do an ADR after a hemilamenectomy, but I know there was a member on this site (Terry) that had one and later had a two level ADR at Stenum. It would certainly be CRAZY to go all the way to Germany to have a fusion, you can have one done here and your insurance will pay for it, they most certainly won't pay for you to go out of the country to have it done. But, I would check with other ADR surgeons and hospitals, I know that Alpha Klinik is not the only game in town and their opinion is just that---their opinion.
