@ Kelly4ADR - Yes, I do live in WA. I have not heard of Dr. Pryor, but that may only be because he is located in Everett. Please keep in mind that it may be difficult to quickly get an appointment with Dr. Wohns because he is so busy. Even so, he is worth the wait and I believe it would be worth your time to meet with him. He really is my hero! : )
As for insurance coverage, I was not able to get my insurance to cover either of my surgeries. The first, because it was still considered experimental and the second because I already had one artificial disc. I had to pay for both out of pocket. The fight with my insurance was very frustrating, but at the same time I knew I did not want a fusion.
My experience with Dr. Wohns and the Microsurgical Spine Center has been wonderful. I have no complaints and would recommend both with no reservations. I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have to the best of my ability. I know how scary this process can be. Please keep me posted.
Michele
