Welcome Cat,
You can spend quite a few hours here doing searches and just reading reading and more reading. I hope to get a Prodisc in October by Dr. Goldstein at NYU. I don't know anything about the Dr's in Florida but I'm sure there are some ADR friendly ones down there.
*The trick is to find an EXPERIENCED ADR surgeon.
*Dont take what the insurance companys say as gospel because they are all F.O.S. and only care about saving money (In my humble opinion)
If I didn't fight the ins. company, I would be some surgeons FIRST ADR! HA HA Yeah RIGHT!
Good luck and happy reading. You'll be an expert in no time!
