Hi - has anyone heard anything about Dr Rolando Garcia - orthop surgeon in Miami?
I know he has been involved with several clinical trials, did the first ADR here in Florida, and involved with several medical journals on ADR. All of that is very well and great - but it is even better to get some feedback from patients, etc. on procedures he has performed, etc. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks.

Hello:
I am not one of Dr. Garcia's patients but I have heard his name mentioned several times concerning ADR. I believe I heard that he along with Dr. Yue were the co-inventors of the Active-L artificial disc. I heard he is one of the Doctors doing the clinical trials for this disc. Take care and good luck! lumbar lami 1998 lami revision 2004 Prodisc L4/L5 February 2008
