I'm in San Diego and have met with Dr. Daniel Green at Kaiser who does ADR surgery and actually had a Cherite and a ProDisc in his office to show me. I've talked with a few other spine surgeons since then, and they all seem to speak well of Dr. Green. I don't know how many procedures he has done though. Supposedly Kaiser will only approve a 1-level replacement, and unfortunately I've been told that I need a 2-level procedure.
