Default re Dr.Dillin and Dr.Regan

Dr.Dillan spoke to me over the phone for a half hour back in 2001 and I think may have saved me from one of the greatest mistakes I didn't make .. having a 3 level global fusion (L3-L5S1). He just talked to me generally about the success of 3 level global fusions and told me I could make an appt. to see him and have a discogram done (had already had my first one by my OSS). Anyway everytime someone mentions his name as a consultation I think it's a very good idea to see him.

I saw Dr.Regan in 2003 for a consultation re 2 level ADR surgery or ADR and fusion and I was very glad I had a consultation w/him and felt it was well worth my time. I was impressed with the time he spent w/me and what he had to say and how he said it. If WC hadn't authorized someone else to do my surgery I think I would have prefered Dr.R based on this visit.

Overall to date I've not moved forward with any further surgeries since my last discectomy in '92.

Good luck.. I think these 2 surgeons are excellent choices for consultations.
