Kevin,
Welcome to the forum! I didn't see your post the other day. I had a 2-level ADR in November 2003 with Dr. Bertagnoli at 23 years old.
Feel free to send me a private message or email. Let me know if I can help, I have been in similiar pair of shoes.
The physician you saw in NY--is the 20 number 2-level or single level surgeries?
I am here to help,
Justin
