      CENTINEL SPINE'S INNOVATIVE CLINICAL TRIAL 
2 Level Artificial Disc Available at Beachwood Medical Center  
The ongoing FDA trial of two new disc designs, specifically intended to treat two-level cervical disc herniation and neck pain, is back up and enrolling patients at the Northern Ohio Surgery Center. Dr. McLain is the only surgeon in Ohio able to provide this opportunity to approved patients!

​Doctor Robert McLain M.D. is currently enrolling selected patients for this important clinical trial  comparing the New Prodisc® Cervical Disc Replacement with the FDA approved Mobi-C® Disc Replacement implants for two-level cervical disc replacement.  If:

• you are a patient with neck and arm pain,
• have not had previous neck surgery, and
• you've been told you need a two-level fusion or disc replacement,

please consider getting a second opinion to see if you qualify for this unique opportunity.
