IMPORTANT NEWS: ​Enrollment is ongoing for  the proDisc Two-level Cervical Disc Study for patients with neck and arm pain.

Picture
​Doctor Robert McLain M.D. and Dr. James Anderson are enrolling selected patients for a clinical trial  comparing the new prodisc® cervical disc replacement with the FDA approved Mobi-C® implants ​in patients requiring 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 opportunity. 

​Anyone interested in participating should contact Study Coordinator Jayson Zadzilka at 330.205.1334 or jzbiomedical@gmail.com.  For more information about this study, visit ClinicalTrials.gov at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04012996.
