Dr. Moklyak and his team are all wonderful! Everyone from the front desk surgery check-in team to the nurses and surgical team made me feel much more at ease and comfortable, during an extremely stressful and somewhat frightening time for me. I would recommend Dr. Moklyak to anyone I know that may need the same surgery I had. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring and takes the time to answer questions and discuss concerns. I went to Dr. Moklyak specifically, for my surgery, because of how fantastic he was when he took care of my daughter's emergency surgery a few months back.

I felt confident and comfortable with him within the first few minutes of consulting with him, and am very pleased with the results of my surgery. He is a true asset and the epitome of the professional staff of the Northwestern Medical Community. And if you have an “Employee of the Month” special parking spot, he should be in the running every month.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
