Dr. Vivek Mohan

Dr. Mohan and his whole team is absolutely amazing. They exceeded my expectations in every possible way. Little bit of background about myself. I'm a Nurse, and I had work injury. I was referred to him by Dr. Bhargav Mudda after he managed my pain with steroid injections. Since you're referred to Dr. Mohan, it is possible that you might have a surgery. So if you're wondering whether you should trust him or not, let me tell you about his phenomenal bedside manner through which he gained my trust. 1. He never rushes you like other doctors might do. He sat down with me and showed me my MRI and explained me what exactly was causing the pain. 2. He will let you know your all alternative options and all the pros and cons. 3. He will let you make your own decision. 4. Of course I had Laminectomy done and I could feel the difference right after surgery (like I said amazing surgeon). 5. Last but not least, his whole team will work with you, step by step from the time you step into his office. They made my recovery process smooth and helped me with the follow up appointments and refill prescriptions. Thank you for your amazing service. I would also like to Thank Dr. Mohan to refer me to the best physical therapist Dr. Zubin Tantra (Lake County Physical Therapy) and Gardi, Haught, Fischer, & Bhosale LTD for workmen comp injury. They helped me get paid for the injury my work caused. $$$ ;) Dr. Mohan and his whole team is absolutely amazing. They exceeded my expectations in every possible way. … More

Dr Mohen is phenomenal great bedside manner. I had 2 surgeries back and neck. Dr Mohen is great. I feel so much better. I feel as though I have my life back!!! Thank Dr Mohen and staff for an amazing experience.

So my story is kind of long I have Dealt with back and neck issues for about the last 20. years I’ve had 9 major spine surgeries. And 60 procedures to deal with pain. I have a 4 level fusion in my lower back and a 3 level fusion in my neck . In 2014 I had my first neck surgery things seem to be pretty good for about the first six months and then started go from bad to worse. I went back to the surgeon he said there was nothing he could do for me .Over the next six years I’ve visited four separate surgeons all telling me there was nothing they could do to help me . One suggested possibly fuse my entire cervical spine . That would leave me with no mobility. During this time I went for pain procedure after pain procedure. My wife was on me to go to the Mayo clinic so I went through the process of registering and sending Mayo 4700 pieces of medical records. Yeah you guessed it ! Mayo Sent me a letter they couldn’t help me . My pain doctor suggested that I see Dr. Mohan. He received a copy of my CT scan before my appointment. While waiting in the office for him to come in. Now you have to understand my state of mind I’m already feeling that he’s gonna tell me there’s nothing you can do for me. He walks in and tells me he knows exactly what’s wrong with me and how to fix it under my breath I cursed and say to myself there’s no way he brings up the CT scan and says here look The fusion you had in 2014 never healed and the plate that they put into sturdy it while the bone healed his broken. Mind you I’ve been to six other doctors and no one seen this. Dr. Mohan suggested a less invasive surgical procedure. DTRAX posterior Fusion. So the wind up is I am four weeks out of surgery and my pain level has significantly decrease . As far as for the review of Dr. Mohan he is absolutely outstanding.

Dr. Mohan performed spinal fusion surgery at L5/S1 on me when he was still employed by DuPage Medical Group (DMG). This was 3 1/2 years ago. Within 3 days of surgery I developed horrible pain from my knees down. This turned out to be peripheral neuropathy, and I have been on Tramadol ever since. I was not warned that this could be a result of the surgery, and even when I proposed that it might be neuropathy Dr. Mohan insisted it wasn't. My life is forever changed for the worse and I wish I never had the surgery or met Dr. Mohan. To say that DMG has been uncooperative regarding my complaint would be an understatement. I cannot live or function without my pain medication, and I fear the day when it may be taken away due to the opioid crisis. I am one of the alone and forgotten.

Wonderful job. He and his team make it look easy and effortless.

Dr. Mohan is fantastic what a great doctor. I cannot say enough good things about me but he's saved me from excruciating pain and inability to walk by doing

Dr Mohan performed an L5-S1 surgery early August of 2019 . Since the surgery no pain down the leg . So grateful . Thank you.

My doctor referred me to specialists pain doctors etc. (6weeks in all while I was in pain from 3 to 8 daily. Finally I met Dr. Vivek Mohan he had two ways to proceed, epidural wait and see what happens, or surgery 4 - 6 weeks back to work. I was hesitant for the surgery? but I realized I finally have a clear-cut answer. I had surgery, that night I was up and walking around. next day felt better, third day NO more pain. Thanks to Dr. Mohan and has staff they have been so nice and caring.

I was so lucky to find Dr. Mohan. I had spinal fusion surgery. He is the most considerate, and sympathetic Dr. I have ever met. I have called him on weekends, middle of the night, times when he has been with his family, and he has always answered my calls. He never acts like you are bothering him. Dr. Mohan is my go to Dr.

Having had chronic back and leg pain for years I went to many doctor's for help. They did surgeries, xrays, MRI's etc to try and help my problem but nothing really worked. My pain kept getting worse until my pain doctor suggested I contact Dr Mohan who he said was a young and very excellant spinal surgeon. Of coarse I had my doubts after years of pain that never went away but I thought I'd try again. After calling his office I was able to get a quick appointment to see him. I went to see him then with what ever I had in xrays etc for Dr Mohan to look at. At that visit Dr Mohan confirmed what my pain Dr thought that the problem was in the SI joint's on the left and right side with the right side being the worst. He said point blank "I can fix it and also get you off those pain killer's". Of coarse I was really surprised but he explained the procedure and that by putting 3 rod's into my SI joint , it would stop the movement thus the pain also. I had the surgery on the right side done on September 12th, 2019 along with 2 weeks rehab and my level of pain has dropped beyond my belief , Although I'am still recovering we expect my way of life to change thanks to Dr Mohan. I know I won't be pain free at my age of 72 but I hope to get back to some of the things I have missed. THANK YOU Dr Mohan for helping me .

Dr. Mohan is a gifted Surgeon. He has great bedside manner. Professional but compassionate. I tracked him down on internet when I found he left DuPage Medical. I knew I had to have back surgery and he is the one I trust. In addition, after many testing he diagnosed the unbearable pain on right side of body was sacroiliac joint. He did an SI joint fusion and I am now in rehab getting well. I just admire, trust and love Dr. Mohan Dr. Mohan is a gifted Surgeon. He has great bedside manner. Professional but compassionate.

If you're considering surgery, you must see Dr. Mohan. He actually takes the time to meet with his patients and together determines the next best step of care. He is not a "pushy" surgeon, if you don't need surgery he'll be honest and let you know all of your options. His office staff has been amazing and very responsive. I'm glad I was referred to him!

Dr Mohan has been amazing. My initial reason for seeing him was a work injury in 2014 at DMG. Had surgery 2015 (had to wait for workman’s comp to approve) Recovery was difficult but I made it through my daughters wedding 3 months later. (After a bunch of PT) Fast forward to January 2019... I thought I had sciatica. Went to chiropractor several times and had some relief. Then in May/June everything went down hill, I could barely stand, walking was so painful and couldn’t sleep due to the pain. I saw my rheumatologist end of May thinking maybe it was my arthritis getting worse. My rheumatologist said I needed to see Dr Mohan again as he felt it was my back again and was definitely not my arthritis. I called to make an appointment at DuPage Medical only to find out he had left the practice. They kept trying to get me to make an appointment with them and I point blank said no thank you I will find Dr Mohan. His compassion for his patients was worth the hour drive from my home. Thank you google for helping me find him???? Dr Mohan’s staff were awesome in getting me a quick appointment. Once I saw him he quickly ordered MRI and X-ray. What I had hoped to be a quick fix wasn’t so... I needed to have surgery again as L5-S1 was failing (previous surgery was at L3/4-4/5) I actually couldn’t wait I have surgery to make the pain go away. Once again his staff to the rescue as I was having problems with my insurance approval. They guided me on what to say and helped me get approval as my insurance was dragging their feet in giving me approval. I was in the hospital one day, no pain in my leg whatsoever after surgery & off pain meds within the first week! There isn’t enough good things I can say about Dr Mohan and his staff. Thank you so much helping me through another difficult time. Dr Mohan has been amazing. My initial reason for seeing him was a work injury in 2014 at DMG.

I had gone to Dr. Mohan for a back injury when he was with Dupage Medical Group. I saw him on a Friday and he scheduled me for surgery in 2 weeks. On Monday I received a phone call from Dupage Medical saying that he had left without notice and my surgery had to be cancelled. Between his unprofessional way of leaving his practice without notice and Dupage Medical handling the aftermath so poorly, I was left with no choice but to find another doctor. If you want to be treated by a real professional, I would highly recommend Dr. Ghayanem at Loyola. He takes the time to show you on the MRI what he is looking at, explains his treatment recommendations and; most importantly, he doesn't abandon his practice and his patients.

Dr. MOHAN is awesome. He knew from my first visit what my problems were and he hadn't even looked at a Xray nor a MRI. I must agree that has been gifted with magical hands.

I drove almost an hour to take my son to his appointment at Dr. Mohan’s office and we really liked it. Clean, spacious, efficient and a nice view from our window. Staff was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Dr. Mohan is a great doctor. He treated my other son who had a wonderful outcome and he was able to play hockey again.

I had been battling lower back and leg pains for over a year. I needed a L4-L5 and L5-S1 Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion. Dr. Mohan has been blessed with gifted hands! Aside from minor pain around the incision site I felt like a new person after surgery and was walking the hospital halls in less than 24 hrs!

Was initially told I'd be fused from T5-T12 and would have a brace afterwards. Woke up only T4-T12 no brace and NO contact with family until finished. Procedure done Feb 7th 2017, Dr. then hot potatoed me to pain management. Follow up has been HORRIBLE, office refuses to help with paperwork or medicine. DO NOT USE!!!!!! Told corrected to 35degrees after surgery, then 1st follow up said 56degrees. Admitted he was wrong but then told I was still in normal range. Seeking medical malpractice lawyer due to BLATANT mistakes and cover ups! UPDATE 6/8/17 was told by Mackenzie in the office the dr would not fill out long term disability paperwork. I explained that because my short term expired May 18th my long term would cover until my return date to work July 1st (was asking to extend to Aug 12th after next appointment because I was rear ended May 15th which severely impacted my recovery time) I was literally told with ZERO empathy that in the Dr's opinion I should go back to work tomorrow on light duty. Absolutely no care or consideration for their patients. I've never been this disregarded and disrespected by medical professionals in the 12yrs I've suffered with Scheuermann's kyphosis. UPDATE 6/26/17 Dr. Mohan refused to fill out paperwork literally "I don't fill out attending physicians statements because its too involved paperwork wise" I've never felt so helpless in my entire life.

I was to have a fusion done on L3 and L5 four. After fixing L3, my colon was "nicked" The surgery had to stop. Another surgeon was brought in to make a new incision and repair my colon. An infectious disease doctor was brought in. My hospital stay had to be extended to five days then another five days in rehab. I am on antibiotics for a total of six months until the second vertebrae can be fixed.. What shoul. have been very simple turned out to be a painful nightmare. I feel like I was being swept under the surgeon.. I am worse off now than I was before my April 28 surgery. So very disappointing on so many levels! I was to have a fusion done on L3 and L5 four.
