Default North American Spine

Is anyone familiar with North American Spine and their AccuraScope procedure?

From what I read they use the scope to go up the spinal canal and use a laser to remove herniation's. These are anesthesiologist that perform the surgery.

My gut tells me it sounds to simple to be reliable.

I have a central Herniation at L3/L4 and was hoping to get advice on surgical options. A couple of surgeons told me that discectomy's are really not an option because of the central location. Which means fusion or ADR.

Not sure how far down the surgical route I'll go. I've had this for 13 months and the sciatica can be difficult. I haven't sat for extended periods for over a year. If I felt time would help I would still wait it out. All opinions are appreciated.
