I suggest you look at Barrow Neurosurgical in Phoenix. I had a consult with Dr Steve Chang. He has performed ADR surgery with the ProDisc-C (I'm not a fan of it). His consult cost $400. I would mostly use him to get an accurate read of your MRI. Also, I have one friend that had a ruptured L5/S1 disc that he worked on and is doing fine (3mo post-op).
If you Ins allows you to go out of state i've also had a phone consult with Dr Carl Lauryssen in LA. His name come up a lot and he is a very talented surgeon as shown by just goolging his name. He has just been qualified with Mobi-C (a better ball-n-socket) I'm actually considering a two level with it.
