"My first impression of Dr Regan was that he was very thorough Dr., a no nonsense Dr., but a very caring Dr.. As time went on I realised that he was also a very careful Dr. Who if he would error it would be on the side of caution first.rnI came to trust him very much over time. Dr. Regan discussed all the different options with me and did not mind me tape recording any of our meetings. I like to tape record things like that so that I can play them back later as there is so much to absorb that it is hard to remember everything you talk about with the Dr and staff.rnHis Office staff is all very professional but at the same time they make you feel very welcome and that they truely care what about you the person and not just that you are another client or patient.rnThe clinic has support meetings twice a month and because I work 2nd shift and will not be able to make the meetings once I am back at work they have arranged for me to have a mentor. There was nothing about Dr. Regan or his staff that I did not like. He does not take risks at the patients expense. Because I had so many health issues he also reguested a few extra things like the surgery report from a abominal surgery done in 2000 and then he wanted a CT Scan of the abdomen so that he would be able to tell more of what he was up against. He discussed with me the options we faced after those two things were completed. So that when I came in for surgery I knew what I might wake up having had done and knew the reasons for it ahed of time.rnI would rate Dr Joseph Regan as a Excellent Dr.. Dr Regan has a good bedside manner, but as a surgeon he is excellent. I found out that I was more difficult than most patients in that he had to put in 7 holes in order to do the surgery Laparoscopic and not open. I teased him after my surgery, that I had just made him a better surgeon. He chuckled and said \" You sure did\".rnMost of the patients in the clinic go back to see their Dr 3 weeks after surgery, but because of all my health issues he wanted me in the clinic after the first week. While I know it may sound like this report is to good to be true Dr Regan is a exceptional Dr. I could not have been more pleased with a Dr. Regan or his staff. At this point I plan on seeing them for the rest of my life time. Sue Ducan his assistant is wonderful she came to see me after surgery just to see how I was doing. Let me not forget Mari, Jeanne the Dietician and Dawn they all were always friendly, helpful and patient with me and all of my questions which never seem to end.rn rn"
