I have spinal stenosis and I will be getting at least a three level ADR. Of course, I will be doing so overseas. UCSF can't do what you need done, unless you only want to do one level. Also bear in mind that UCSF is a teaching hospital, so you probably don't want the newly graduated med students operating on you, which very well may be why they do not accept patients with spinal stenosis. If you need docs in the Bay Area who do ADR for spinal stenosis, I can give you two docs I trust, but neither of them will be able to take care of more than one level unless you pay out of pocket. No insurance in the US will pay for more than one level, which is why most of us leave the US and fly to Europe for the procedure.
Which levels are injured? Also, it will help those of us answering questions if you create a spinal signature. Here is how you do it:

Let me know if you need any help, especially in the Bay Area as that is where I am located.
