My understanding based on my research.
FDA has not yet approved multi-level cervical ADR.
You can get the surgery in the US by participating in a study. One US doctor who offered me multi-level cervical ADR in 2008, Delamarter, LA Spine Institute. Very experienced ADR surgeon. Consult was about $500.
My other option is Germany, which I did have my first ADR there, and had a very good experience. It is a little scary, but more common than you can imagine.
