Based on my experiences, you'll most likely be offered fusion of some sort. I started off with one of the "hip and knee joints" in the metro area. 4 surgeons later I had 3 offers of multi-level fusion and one 3 level laminectomy plus fusion (must've been coupon day).
You're going to a clinic I have no experience with. They may have better doctors there. I hope they treat your problem and not your symptoms.
Good luck,
Bob
