Hi Everyone,
Just an FYI... In Yesterday's Hollywood Reporter (the weekly edition August 8-14th) The Spine Center at Century City Doctor's Hospital took out a 1/2 page ad. In the ad, they announce that the "ProDisc Artificial Disk Receives FDA Approval."

It says, and I quote "...Our elite team of spine specialists helped develop this state of the art therapy, and includes the only surgeons in the Los Angeles Area currently qualified to conduct the ProDisc Artificial Replacement Procedure..." They also claim that they are contracted with most major insurance companies so the patient fees are comparable to most other L.A. hospitals.

Just wanted to pass this information along for all of you who have been waiting. I realize that they are not the FDA but I have to think that they wouldn't have taken out a 1/2 page ad advertising its approval and their qualifications of performing the procedure if it wasn't actually available.
