Post Research

Thanks for all the replies, I know I need to have multi-level ADR at this point. I was supposed to have single level here in Utah but was denied at the last minute. After consulting with my surgeon after the denial by insurance, he assured me that ADR was the absolute best option for me and that he would not get a fusion unless they had to drag him into it.
I am leaning toward Stenum at this time, my dad is a physician and when i showed him the negative comments on Stenum his response to me was...everyone is so quick to blame the doctor. There are many many factors that go into a surgery like this, such as: underlying patient pathology, previous treatments etc...

Also, Stenum uses the Maverick disc which, after a lot of research and talking with doctors, is far and away the best on the market today. I may send them an email today asking if their rates are negotiable, I will let you know what they say.
