Depending on where you live, you may want to contact the Mayo Clinic Spine Center. They have 3 locations --Phoenix Arizona,/ Rochester,Minnesota,/ and Jacksonvile, Florida.
I had Bertolotti's, but that was a minor aspect of my corrective surgery. My main issue was severe Scoliosis.
When I previously researched Bertolotti's, I noticed that the majority of people that developed it have Scoliosis.
I had my surgery at Mayo-Rochester and it was an amazing experience.
Good Luck!

Can you please tell me the doctor's name. I plan on calling there today since I'm almost out of options. I was informed that I do have slight Scoliosis and I was wondering which came 1st because I was never told I had that before and my feeling is it was caused by the Bertolotti's. I, of course could be wrong. I can now over the past few years when looking in the mirror notice something I never had before. One hip is higher than the other. Thank for any help.

Thanks for the info. I have an online appointment with the Mayo Clinic here in Florida. They are 3 hours away from me. Yes, I have developed some scoliosis that I don't believe I had before this back pain got so bad. I can't believe what I have accomplished with this and only started having trouble the last few years. Multiple Ironman races, marathons, Baseball till age 45 and being a NY City firefighter for 26 years. I never knew I had it and now it is causing major problems.
Thank You!
