I just posted a similar response.

Judy, I believe yours is the first post I've read of a disappointing surgical experience with Dr. Regan.

His hands enjoy and mostly deserve as good a reputation, if not even better while his bedside manner and communication suffer at the bottom. Too bad he's not interested in improving that which he is lacking.

Curious Judy, what doctor looked after you in the hospital? Why didn't the nurses check on your incision and tell you how to treat it? I also wonder why/how the hospital doesn't insist on surgeons looking in on their patients at least once a day - did you complain or speak to someone about your lack of care? Did you have any kind of follow-up appointment in his office?

I too had problems with Dr. Regan's patient skills but he did not do my surgery. My feeling is we all deserve the best health care from any professional which includes talking to them, good or bad and keeping them informed.

I hope you're doing better - Dale
