Dr. David Barnett in Dallas but he will only do Cervical. Dr. Jessica Shellock in Plano will do lumbar too and I bet some of her partners at Texas Back Institute do artificial disc replacement. Read her bio on the their website, "she participated in a number of FDA studies evaluating new designs."
I don't know where you live but I'm sure you could find someone near you that does artificial disc replacement, it's not a new science.
I wish you the best, spine pain is awful no matter what area.

We are in Miami, we were planning to go to Mayo Jacksonville. Initial interaction was not the greatest. They said we don’t take your insurance and you may have to pay $100, 000 upfront. In fact, I called, my insurance covers as out of network and we may have to pay more as compared to in network. I rather go to Johns Hopkins as I had a very pleasant interaction and a very good prior experience.
Mayo may have good doctors; so does other places. I rather spend money where they care. My prior experience with Mayo few years ago was also so so
