Hi,

If you are near Jacksonville, FL. Dr. Gregory Keller at JOI-Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute has probably done the most in the city. He has been involved in the FDA trials for the ProDisc since the beginning. When I saw him about a year and a half ago, he wanted me to wait a while as he was planning on participating in the 2 level lumbar trials.

I obviously did not wait, but it may be an option for you. He is an Orthopedic surgeon and has a good reputation in the area.

Dr. Garcia-Benchochea-spelling? Is a neurosurgeon that has done some ADR's, not that many. He is a very skilled neurosurgeon and developed some the techniques and tools for minimally invasive fusions.

St. Vincents Brain-Neuro Institute has some experience, more with cervicals.

That's about it that I know of for northern Fl.

Laurie
