Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very skilled surgeon with great bedside manner.

Terrible
If you want quality of care after your surgery, choose another spot. If you are on work comp, VA disability, SS or need anything related to causation or correlation he will not write. He’s will take your money, do your surgery but then treat you coldly. Be warned.

He is very kind and competent. He was recommended by several physicians and has done cervical and lumbar laminectomies on my mom. She has done well with all the surgeries. I highly recommend Dr. Rahman.

I live in Jacksonville, IL and find that he is more then worth the drive. He answered all my questions, takes time to not only show me the x-rays, MRI, and other test results but he explains them to me. His hospital bedside manner is superb.

Suffered with back pain for over 15 years. the next morning after they got me up from being operated on for a walk down the hall I was pain-free. I would recommend anyone suffering with back pain to visit Dr. Rahman Who made a believer out of me.

I herniated a disc last May (2017) & suffered through the agonizing pain all summer . . Dr Rahman took one look at me and said "Can you come back tomorrow morning for surgery?" . . I literally started crying because he saw the pain that I was in and cleared a slot for me to have surgery. . . I ended up re-herniating the same disc 3 weeks later & again, he got me right in for surgery . . I will never let another doctor near my back . . it's Dr Rahman or no one : )

I am completely pleased with Dr Mohammed Rahman and his staff. After suffering with degenerative arthritis in my lumbar spine for the last 28 years, Dr Rahman examined my x-rays and MRIs before I entered his office and the first thing he said was, "well are you ready for surgery?" In the past, I have had many neurologists turn me away. Dr. Rahman and his staff over-impressed me!

Dr. Rahman and his entire staff have been fantastic. I had anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery February 13th. Every person I met at the hospital could not stop their praise for Dr. Rahman. If health care employees tell you they would send their own family to him for surgery, you know the man is good at what he does. My surgery was a success and my pain was minimal.

Dr. Rahman saw how much pain I was in and arrange surgery within a week after my first appointment. The MRI I had taken did not show what was causing the pain. I could not walk, sit or stand. He did exploratory surgery with an inch and a half incision. He found what was the cause of my horrific, agonizing pain ( a nerve was being compressed). The day after the surgery, the pain was gone. Dr. Rahman gave me my life back.
