Hi Harrison, I went to Dr. Bierstedt because of his experience in artificial disc replacement and good reviews about him on german forums.
My disc is called Mobidisc L with spike like ankering in the vertebra, I got this model because it was the best choice for my back since I have hyperlordosis and a M6 had a slight chance to slip.
