Currently, he is affiliated with the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, University of Mississippi Medical Center, Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital, TriStar Skyline Medical Center, and TriStar Centennial Medical Center.
A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Kregor attended the University of Kentucky, from which he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering, and minors in English and Chemistry. He then attended the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honorary society in 1987.

Licensed to practice medicine in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, the doctor is board-certified in orthopedic surgery by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS).
