Dr Spann was also involved with my surgery and he is AWESOME too! You won’t be disappointed with your choice! The online support group is THE BEST - highly recommend you join as soon as you’re a patient. Mine was a revision from a previously messed up revision so can’t really help you with the insurance process BUT as soon as you become a member of online group ( they’ll give u access when you go for your appointment- pose the question to the group - you will get LOTS of info
