Mobi-C
I am 4 months post-op from a 2-level Mobi-C ADR with Dr Peterson in Austin. He was with the 2-level clinical studies from the very beginning in the US and has done more of these surgeries than anyone in the state. LDR is prepping to market him as their #1 expert in this particular procedure. I had problems with headaches and post-op appts, but now my neck and head feel as good as new. I would highly recommend looking into whether or not your insurance would cover this out-of-state procedure.
TBI has also been involved from the beginning of the clinical trials, so that is a great recommendation too. There is never any harm in getting multiple opinions!
