OK forget U of Penn hospital. No one there does cervical ADRs (as of 3/2012.)
I FAXed my records to Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philly. Both their Neuro and Ortho have ADR surgeons. I'm waiting to see what they say.
That is good advice on finding those who do cervical ADRs
. TJ is known to be a very good hospital but if they fall through I will do as you say. Thanks!

3/2002 L5-S1 microdiscectomy- went well
1/2012 C6,7 arthritic, ADR recommended
BCBS will cover
UPDATE: No doc since the first surgeon has recommended an ADR. It now looks like I am up for another microdiscectomy / foraminotomy
I'm certain I am not the last for such a diagnosis change so we can all still learn from each others experiences!
