Default Need 2 level cervical ADR - prefer USA

About 4 years ago, my husband had a bulging disc. Physical therapy and continuing with the exercises warded it off. Now, C5-6 is herniated and C6-7 has bone spurs and also needs replacing.

Our local neurosurgeon said he "would do it", but the hospital is in dispute about the cost of the Prodisc Cs (by $700). Our neurosurgeon appears to be 50% retired and rarely in town. Surgical nurse was supposed to call back regarding resolution of price difference a week ago (we'd gladly pay the difference). We also asked nurse how many multi levels the doc's done - no response.

We're very hopeful Texas Back (learned of them on your web site - thank-you) will come through. All images/paperwork were overnighted to them last week. Does anyone one know how many weeks/months after you contact them before the actual surgery would be? Has anyone had more than one level done at Texas Back?

Has anyone had multilevel Bryan discs? There are so many on the market. We feel fortunate if we can just find a doctor.

Thanks
