Default New Here...

Hi, Im new here an have been trying to do lots of researching about total disc replacement. wow lots of stuff yet I seem to be having trouble acually finding Dr's here in the US that do them. I was looking into Dr. Ritter Lang but I have read about to many people not being happy, and the cost with him was starting at 36K wow. Hopefully some of you can give me more info on Dr's here and in other countries that i can look into.

Thanks, and all info advice experience is appreciated.

ALso I was diagnosed with MS some 12 yrs ago and I have never had any clinical signs so i am somewhat concerned of that, would really stink if this surgery triggered it lol. I also have BCBS of alabama has anyone had any luck gettting them to pay? It is not covered but I read some people get a lawyer and then some insurance have paid.
