Dr. Pettine and Techy performed my multi-level ADR at C5-7 in Oct 2014. He used the Mobi-C and I have absolutely no neck issues now. I feel better than I did in my 20's. I know people rave about the M6 but honestly, I can't even tell I have artificial discs in my neck and have full mobility. I have United Health Care (Tricare) and had to fight through 3 appeals which took me about 2 months to finally get approved. The secret here is to respond to each appeal within a week. If you delay, the longer it will take. Dr. Pettine's office has some of the evidence based practices I submitted with my appeal that finally got approved. I say -- fight -- Don't let the insurance companies wear you down. If we all just give up without a fight, they will continue to deny everything.
You are in good hands with Dr. Pettine and Techy. They are the best and they gave me my life back. To top it off, the whole procedure cost me $25.00. It was well worth fighting the insurance and not letting them win!
