About Us Dr. Regan earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island and his medical degree from the State University of New York Upstate Medical Center, in Syracuse. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Emory University Affiliated Hospitals in Atlanta and an orthopedic surgical residency at the University of North Carolina. In addition, he is one of the few surgeons in the U.S. to complete two fellowships in spine: one fellowship in spine trauma at A.O. International Hospital in Switzerland, and another at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore. A fellowship is the highest level of medical training available.
Dr. Regan was a principal at Texas Back Institute during the late 1980s, during the time when the clinic grew to be the nation's first and largest spine specialty clinic. Texas Back Institute was featured by Fortune, Forbes, NBC, ABC, CNN, USA Today and other national media as an expert clinic in spine. In 2001, Dr. Regan was named Director of the Cedar-Sinai Institute for Spinal Disorders, where he developed the hospital's spine program into regional prominence until 2005, when he left to create his own practice. Areas of Expertise:
An internationally acclaimed spine specialist and a former principal at the Texas Back Institute (one of the largest back clinics in the U.S.), Dr. Regan is Medical Director at the California Spine Group in Los Angeles. He is a pioneer, developing a number of new approaches that reduce patient recovery time and improve outcomes, and offering the newest treatment in spine surgery. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) Dr. Regan is a pioneer and leading authority in the field of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), developing a number of new approaches that reduce patient recovery time and improve outcomes. So accomplished an authority is Dr. Regan that he has literally written the book on MISS techniques. "The Atlas of Endoscopic Spinal Surgery" has sold more than 20,000 copies worldwide within the medical community and has helped to form the basis of an entirely new field in spine surgery. He has recently published a second edition entitled, "The Atlas of Minimally Access Spine Surgery," a collaboration of major leaders in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. Video-Assisted Thoracic Spine Surgery (VATS)
Dr. John Regan was one of the first in the world to utilize a new surgical technique called Video-Assisted Thoracic Spine Surgery (VATS), which involves the delicate maneuvering of surgical instruments through a few small incisions, aided by tiny cameras and a video monitor. Instead of large three-inch incisions, Dr. Regan pioneered the use of endoscopic instruments with cameras and cutting tips to access the spine. He is one of a handful of spine surgeons in the nation able to perform surgery on the thoracic spine (middle back) with these scopes and instruments. By operating through a tiny half-inch incision, the minimally invasive technique lessens the risk of surgery and speeds patient recovery. Video-assisted thoracic spine surgery is available at Dr. John Regan private practice.
