Thank you Gene for your quick reply, and I sent you a PM with a list of the surgeons I have seen. Thanks to this site, I was introduced to the M6, which seems to be favored by many. I was scheduled for surgery for ADR at 2 levels (4-5 & 5-6) in NYC for ProDisc, but canceled and reviewing my options again!
What puzzled most doctors is the heat or burning sensation I have around the scapula area and shoulders, they were not sure that is related to the disc herniation in my neck, which made me back out of surgery for now.
Wonder if anyone else had similar symptoms, and were relieved by surgey!
