I personally was sent to Dr. Regan and last Dec had surgery performed by him. He removed my T-7 painful for years and tested positive by discography disc , started on my other that had tested poitive for being a pain generator T11-12, but could not finish that as my oxygen level dropped to below 50%. The anesthesiologist stopped him. So my lung was inflated i was turned over when he spent hours removing my thoracic hardwear. We never discussed this in the 2 minutes he spent with me (guess i needed to use Mark's name). during surgery i had other problems which he never addressed as he never came to see me. I was put on a respirator and sent to ICU from the PACU. Again another fact over looked by my surgeon.
So i am glad he showed some people skills to you. I would never be able to recommend him. My pain in my upper thoracic area is gone, but after he removed the hardwear in my thoracic spine i ended up less than a year later with kyphosis severe enough to warrant surgery.
Good luck with your decisions and treatment
