Default Discogram normal?

My surgeon (Dr. Jens Chapman @ UWMC) is strongly opposed to cervical discograms. He advised me that cervical discograms were inaccurate, painful and possibly dangerous. Another doctor I was seeing for diagnostic injections had an opposing view and wanted to perform a cervical discogram on me. I trust my surgeon and did not have the discogram.

I need a 3 level cervical ADR surgery. Negotiations with my medical insurance company are on going.
