3 level cervical adr
Hi Sandy,
Welcome to Ispine. I haven't been on my computer much or I would have replied sooner.
I had a 3 level cervical ADR done in Washington State by Dr. Jens Chapman from the University of Washington Medical Center. Dr. Chapman and his staff were very helpful in appealing my insurance company's initial denial. The insurance company wouldn't pay for 2 of the prodisc implants, but the hospital agreed to do the surgery and let me pay for the implants at wholesale cost. I have heard good things about Dr. Delemarter.
I hope you find a dr. you trust and can afford. This is a good site with lots of good information and support.
Please let us know how you are doing.

12/21/07-Revision surgery, fusion L4/5 L5-S1
1975-scoliosis surgery,Harrington Rods, fused T2 to L4
Felt great in 20's and 30's....late 30's started having chronic neck and lower back pain. By 40 pain worsened enough to begin seeking surgical solutions.
ADR surgery much easier recovery than fusion!
This site has been a great source of information for me! I would be happy to help anyone who has questions.
