Hi Pete,
I contacted the manufacturer of the disc I was interested in (Prodisc, Synthes). They had a hotline I called and the lady I spoke with e-mailed me a list of the surgeons doing surgery with this disc in Illinois. So, maybe you can pursue the same tactic.
Long story, but all the surgeons I contacted in the Chicago area that reviewed my MRI said I was not a good candidate since I had virtually no disc space left. So, I had my ADR done in Germany.
Feel free to contact me if you want more details.
Good luck!
Matt
