Does this Dr. Goldberg have ADR experience?
You could always get a consult with Dr. Geisler in Aurora IL. He's big on Charite but still might give a different opinion. If you learn more from him but not sold, I would then consider going to TBI in Texas or other areas liks socal, miami, NY depending on whether you have family and/or other connections to these other communities. because these areas have drs who are very good with prodisc and/or charite/kineflex, and now possibly ActivL.
Most people see more than one ADR surgeon before making any serious surgery decisions.
