I really like Drs. Lauryssen, Regan, Khoo at UCLA (accepts BC in full/long wait) and have heard good things about Watkins in Marina Del Rey, Patrick Johnson, and the and Neel Annand (there too). I don't know what Bray's doing but he 's got an excellent reputation too. Best..

Dr. Regan did my one-level cervical ADR last year and a friend's 3-level cervical ADR just about 6 weeks ago, with great results. He is also a board-certified internist. And he will patiently answer questions!

I need some help!
I was wondering if any one knows how many adrs dr.regan/delamarter has done. I was wonder if one is way more experienced than the other? I have been in touch with dr.delamarters office and am waiting for a reply as to if surgery is a go. Any info on the amount of surgeries they both have done and or who is more experienced would help.
Thanks, eric

reply to welcome
Thank you for the welcome! Well I have to say I am a little disappointed in the recommendations on this post. The reason being that I did have a prodisc surgery done by Delemarter and have had so many problems post surgery. I would have to say that I agree with the unavailability after surgery. After ADR surgery I have numerous problems, stenosis, herniated cervical c-5 disc needing surgery. Real bad headaches, neck and arms to hands pain. I do not even know what is going to happen with the ADR at my L3-4 above a fusion causing pain all the way down to legs and feet hurt. I spend most of my time laying down in bed the last 2 1/2 years. I am a musician and am hoping to get the neck fixed so I can at least play my music of which I love and live for. I am sorry for such a sad report but thank you for your replies. I am a WC case so I am sure Dr. Regan and the other high end doctors are out.

Eric, Dr. Delamarter had supposedly done over 700 when I had mine done over a year ago. I do not know about Dr. Regan.
Sand52-Welcome, and I really liked Dr. Gregory Carlson who did my revision surgery. I also agree with runner that Dr. Sylvan Palmer is a good surgeon. I hope that you check with all the doctors about WC because I believe that many of them take those cases. don't give up. Phylly
