Hi Dr Clark Gerhart is my Doctor in the Wilks-barrie Scranton area of Pennsylvania. On of the biggest differences is that he deals with Adhesion patients all the time, and is trained and up on the new barriers that are used.. Success rate( I would check with him, but I think it's in the 75% range. Not 100 sure on that, but I know it's at least 70. I would have to say I'm doing so much better(had to have two surgery's 6mo appart) But it's been since Nov 06..No other adhesions surgery since then. As far as your insurance. You'd have to talk to them. I went and stayed with family. Insurance payed for all the medical ie hosp Dr Surgery. I payed for trip there. And staying in a hotel close to the hospital for a while. go to Clarkgerhart.com for more info
