Hi 10skiclimd,
The LA Spine Institute, Rick B. Delamarter MD is someone that is on the West Coast and has done several ADR surgeries. They are located in Santa Monica California.. There are several people on this forum that have gone to him with good reviews. I'm sorry but I am not familiar with any others though.
I DID have an ACDF but only after years of discomfort and trying other treatment modalities. So I can't really compare our two cases.
I'm sure others here will pop in with more info and I hope your visit with the second opinion in Reno helps with your decision.
Best of Luck and please let us know how and what you are doing!!
