Pioneer’s Board of Directors announced on January 10 that the company’s Chief Financial Officer Dan Webber has been elected as the new president and CEO.
Webber has been Pioneer’s CFO since joining the company in July 2008. He succeeds Jeffery Millin who had been president since November 2008 and CEO since January 2009. Millen succeeded company founder, Matthew Songer, M.D.
A board statement said, “Since joining the company, Dan has demonstrated to the Board his understanding of the industry and markets we serve, as well as the challenges and opportunities that exist in those markets. We believe that Dan’s experiences, financial acumen and character provide the foundation for an effective leader of Pioneer Surgical.”
The statement also said the Board would like to express its appreciation to Jeff Millin for “his many roles with and contributions to the company. Jeff has been with Pioneer since its origins and has been an integral part of its growth and success. We wish him continued success in the future.”
Webber will continue to serve as the Company’s CFO until his successor is identified.

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
