Dr. Egon Doppenberg, MD

He operated on both my husband and father. He took a more conservative approach considering his age and the issues he was facing. It's wonderful that this approach significantly helped his pain. My husband experienced immediate relief after his surgery and that the disk replacement was successful in addressing his condition.

Horrible experience. He and his nurse didn't realize I could hear them on the phone and talked about me in the most unprofessional - mean girl - middle school type of way. No apology from Doppenberg. No call from him or his office manager after they knew I heard them and knew how angry I was. So unprofessional - he was annoyed I had questions about the surgery. I would never recommend him. Atrocious!

Dr Doppenberg did ACDF on two levels the 1st of Dec. No voice issues, throat only hurt for a few days following surgery. Hospital staff was great, I stayed over one night. I did not take pain meds after I left hospital. I’m 7 weeks post-op and I’m gradually able to do activities. A few aches here and there in shoulders and neck but overall I feel great! Good post op follow up. He’s a nice guy in addition to being a great surgeon. (68 years old)

Been seeing Dr. Doppenberg off and on for about 4 years now. He listens, and explains. The care I have been given is extra-ordinary. Highly professional. He did a fusion on my lower back, and it did help, unfortunately more work needed to be done. Will be having another surgery by him in the very near future. He is very very highly recommended.

Dr. Doppenberg spends a lot of time and is very compassionate.

Dr. Doppenberg has performed 2 back surgeries for me. The results have been successful and he has been professional & supportive. I would recommend him to anyone. His staff is also helpful and very responsive.

Dr. Doppenberg performed surgery almost 1 yr ago on my lumbar spine. I can't say enough wonderful things about his care and compassion. God bless his parents for helping to make him the person he is. I never doubt that the suggestions and decisions he makes concerning my care are done with collaboration of his team and consideration of my best interests. His office staff, the PA's, nurses and all that put together his team are the best at what they do. I feel they follow the leader in the way they deal with the patients, their families and day to day care they provide. Always taking extra steps to ensure the information and care given are the best they can provide.

Today is the third anniversary of my second life . I am so fortunate to have Dr.Doppenberg as my surgeon and he gave me a chance to live. My wife still has her husband and my three children still have their father - only because of you. Thank you so much your kindness,hardwork ,commitment ....etc. God Bless you and have no words to say ......

Dr Doppenbergs compassionate care with detailed attention to patients concerns and symptoms is exemplary and cannot be put in words, his kindness, calm manner, courteous greeting and professional demeanor puts all patients at ease immediately. He is very thorough in his patient care related issues. I recommend him to anyone needing expert neurosurgical care. I remain indebted to him for his wonderful expertise and care provided to me after my MVA.

Dr. Doppenberg is one of those rare physicians that combines impeccable clinical skills with great compassion. He is modest and down to earth. He explains everything well. He really cares about his patients. Dr Doppenberg has performed three serious operations on me and I have done well with each. Many patients see Dr Doppenberg for second or third options because of his knowledge and excellent judgement. I am very lucky to have him as my physician.

Dr. Doppenberg is not only the finest neurosurgeon I've ever gratefully come across (and I should know after 7-he did the last 2 that were fantastically successful) he's also the most humble, gracious, and kindest too. He is WORLD renowned neuro that I consider my God. He is also conservative about cutting and will only do surgery if it is absolutely necessary. He really listens to his patients, and treats them with utter respect. I recommend him to everyone, he's the VERY BEST of the BEST!.

The office staff here is completely incompetent.

I don't know if there are enough superlatives to describe my experience with Dr Doppenberg. Not only is he an extremely talented neurosurgeon, his mannerisms and personal touch make him the best in the business. He is very friendly and I never once felt rushed during any of my visits. He clearly explained my issue and showed me in detail on the MRI screen what was causing my pain. He was able to get me in for surgery remarkably quickly which was a huge relief as I was suffering. Thanks Doctor.

Dr.Doppenberg operated on my back, he was the epitome of professionalism. He was caring, compassionate and he explained the entire procedure to me and my family. I feel very fortunate to have him as my surgeon.

Outstanding reputation. Operation in Feb2016. Good Sam. Hospital in Downers Grove. Very professional staff. Very attentive nurses. No private rooms. Roommate dementi patient- no sleep possible. Scheduled 30 and 90 days follow up. Seen by knowledgeable PA's instructed to get new MRI. Sent to Dr. Now 5 months since surgery. No response from Dr office as to new MRI. Engaged new Dr. Very disappointed with lack of follow-up, as promised. Not disappointed with surgery as was advised of possibility

Extraordinary surgeon. Inspires confidence. Kind, compassionate and empathetic. I was fully recovered within a month of major surgery with no side-effects whatsoever.Discharged from the hospital within two days of surgery. My symptoms have been totally eliminated and I'm back to normal and feel even better than my pre-surgery days. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Doppenberg and his staff. Excellent job by everyone on Dr. Doppenberg's staff.
