Testimonials

"I feel like she put a new spin on life for me, did some blood work and figured out my problems and put me back on the road of comfort. She also helped me find other doctors that could take care of my other medical problems. I hurt for a long time before I went to see Dr. Mohan and I passed through several doctor offices with no help. She is a very smart person and does her job to the fullest."

"The office staff is kind and Dr Mohan is a super caring excellent Dr, she is amazing."

-Jan F.

"When I first went to Dr. Mohan I was a very scared 25 year woman with alot going on. My primary was suspicous of an autoimmune based on the trademark "butterfly" rash covering my face, the extreme fatigue, crippling migraines and severe joint pain. I also have had extreme sun sensitivity since my early teens that was not easily remedied with skin creams, sunscreen or simple avoidance. The first time I met Dr. Mohan she was so knowledgable, sympathic and kind she instantly put my mind at ease. She could tell but looking at me and my records I clearly had an autoimmune disorder, probably she suspected Lupus. She drew labs and met with me again to confirm our thoughts. We have had to adjust and try many medications over the years but every step of the way her and her office staff have been so great and supportive! She has ordered the appropriate testing and sent me out for consults when necessary, I tell everyone I can about how wonderful she is.

Because Dr. Mohan keeps herself so educated I was able to get on a medication many doctors have never even heard of, that is now slowly helping give me my life back. Every month I am stronger, more energized and feel better longer. I adore the office girls, the nursing team and Dawn in billing is amazing at going the distance to help a patient! I can't imagine my life and where I would be without Dr. Mohan and her team!"
