If anyone is around this area, or knows an amazing Surgeon who performs ADR combined with fusion PLEASE help!

Dr. Rolando Garcia, Aventura Florida, was part of the FDA clinical trial process for ADR / TDR from my limited recall. Dr. Garcia possibly did work in the Aesculap active-L TDR FDA Clinical Trial. He may have written some articles with Dr. Yue of Yale about ADR / TDR.
You asked about a hybrid surgery: adr L4-L5, fusion L5-S1. You need to ask the surgeon about that question.
Insurance coverage for a hybrid lumbar surgery may require some work, ie. paperwork and an appeal, work by the surgeon also.
