Hi Frank,
There have been a few people here that have had surgery in Fla.. where I'm not sure however perhaps if you do a search here for surgeons in your area something will come up. You could go to
GPN Artificial Disc Replacement ADR and check out Mark Mintzer's information in terms of a Spine Patient Advocate that perhaps could assist you in your quest.
Bumping this post for someone else who may be of assistance with this question..
