Jeff, I was a person who experienced bad things after having surgery with DrJohn Regan. A nerve was nicked or something when doing my vats surgery. I had severe breathing problems in surgery. He still gave up on the vats and turned me over and started removing my posterior fusion from a different surgeon. He never discussed this with me. I stopped breathing after surgery, was on a ventilator , never again saw DrRegan. I now have a permanent loss of lung function . I also had to endure lung surgery shortly after my surgery with Regan. He said nothing happened to me. That was only when i made an apt. to see what he had to say about what happened and why did he never show up. I could go on. You can send me a private message if you would like. I cannot recommend that man. I would say only to stay far away. Pioneer or not,. i also have become friends with a man who was paralized by Regan about the same time i had my surgery.
Sorry you find yourself with this horrible problem. Good luck finding a good , surgeon,.
