Welcome to Spine Group Beverly Hills
As one of the primary physicians of the first spine specialty clinic in the United States, John Regan, MD, is considered a pioneer in minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques. Dr. Regan, a fellowship-trained spine surgeon, board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, and former director of Cedars Sinai Institute for Spinal Disorders, offers his expertise at Spine Group Beverly Hills in Los Angeles County with offices in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
Dr. Regan is one of few surgeons in the United States to complete two fellowships in spine care — the first in spine trauma at A.O. International Hospital in Switzerland and the second at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Regan went on to become a key physician at the Texas Back Institute, a nationally recognized spine center.
He earned his medical degree from the State University of New York Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse and completed both his internship and residency in internal medicine at Emory University affiliated hospitals in Atlanta. He also completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Focused on providing the highest quality medical care, Dr. Regan offers comprehensive surgical evaluations and treatments for a variety of conditions, including spinal stenosis, herniated discs, spinal fractures, and scoliosis. He specializes in both minimally invasive and traditional open surgeries to restore a patient’s mobility and quality of life.
Dr. Regan continues to share his knowledge of spine surgery techniques, traveling to the Middle East at the request of dignitaries to train other spinal surgeons. He also focuses his efforts on researching new approaches to reduce patient recovery time and improve surgical outcomes. Dr. Regan highlights his expertise in The Atlas of Endoscopic Spinal Surgery and The Atlas of Minimally Access Spine Surgery, his published books in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery.
