When I insert a DVD into the MacBook Pro Drive it makes a loud spin noise and the DVD ejects. I've tried with multiple DVD's and still experiencing the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I could try to troubleshoot this problem?

Here is an Apple support article on troubleshooting the optical drive:

Often a lens cleaning will restore functionality. (use a DVD lens cleaning disk)
Some CD/DVD brands do not do well with Mac DVD drives. Verbatim seems to be the best.
Ciao.
FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR INTERNAL SUPERDRIVE (especially if you updated to Mavericks or Yosemite)
This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.
