In Jan. 2011 Dellon charged 12,000 per side. By Sept. he charged 15,000 per side. It is now 18,000 per side (from my information with a call to his office). I am entrapped in the perineal branch..I was praying it wasn't the dorsal but then received the news and what do you know? Dellon does that branch. I can't afford him so what can I do? Go to Austria. I emailed Dr. Azsmann and he charges 10.000 euros (inclusive). I don't want to go to Austria..the thought of that long plane ride is enough to cause me to break down.
I have one person's experience with Dellon's fee. Anyone else that will share how their insurance handle this would be grateful.

Re: Dellon's no insurance policy
Dr. Hibner trained with Dr. Azsmann about 2 years ago. I don't know if he has done any dorsal decompression surgeries though.I know about 1 year ago he went to Mayo Clinic (I think that's where it was) and practiced on cadavers. You might want to check with his office or make an appointment to see him and ask.
