Default How long it takes for surgery in Europe

Hi Everybody,
I`m really considering Germany (Dr. Zeegers or Dr Bertagnoli) for 2 levels cervical ADR.
How long it takes the whole process, from the first time you call them, to the operation day? Weeks or months?
I`m showing some ischemic myelopaty in my MRI and all the doctors I`ve seen so far, in the past 2 weeks, told me that I can`t wait too long for surgery, 2-3 weeks top.
I`ve seen 5 doctors and nobody wants to do 2 levels ADR.....they all want to FUSE. I already had a fusion....I don`t want another one!
Before Germany my last hope is Dr. Fabien Bitan in NYC. They told me that he`s able to do 2 levels ADR, although I have to pay for it.
Has anybody had any contact with this Dr? Any good? Should I run?
I googled him and he seems like a good Dr.
Please, if possible, let me know how long it takes to get an operation schedule in Germany.

Thank you so much for your help and kindness,

Patty
