  • Dr. Mark Mahan is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in both complex peripheral nerve surgery and endoscopic spine surgery. He routinely teaches throughout the globe, including instruction on techniques as well as clinical and laboratory science. Dr. Mahan has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and numerous book chapters. His laboratory research has earned several research grants, including several from the NIH. Dr. Mahan also runs several clinical trials, including trials funded by the US Department of Defense and industry-funded research. Dr. Mahan is the current president of peripheral the nerve section of the joint neurosurgical societies (AANS/CNS) and serves on the executive board of the Spine Section. He serves as an editor for the top neurosurgical journals, Neurosurgery and Journal of Neurosurgery, and reviewer for several other journals. He also serves as a leader in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Utah.

    Peripheral nerve surgery:

    Dr. Mahan leads the complex peripheral nerve center at the University of Utah. Dr. Mahan treats nerve tumors, whether malignant, benign or related to genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis; nerve entrapments, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome or patients with prior surgery needing revision; nerve injuries, such as brachial plexus injuries, nerve lacerations or trauma, or iatrogenic (related to other surgery) nerve injuries; nerve pain, such as meralgica paresthetica, or other conditions requiring nerve stimulation; functional nerve reconstruction, including for post-stroke spasticity or palsy and dystonia; as well as many other conditions.

    Spine surgery:

    Dr. Mahan performs the complete range of spinal surgery, including oncologic, minimally invasive and endoscopic, and spinal trauma. He is a national and international educator for endoscopic spinal surgery, is a founding member of the Endoscopic Spine Research Group and has received several awards for his teaching. Whenever feasible, Dr. Mahan utilizes endoscopic techniques for addressing spinal problems because of the reduced risks, minimal tissue injury, and rapid recovery associated with endoscopic surgery.

    Outside of work, Dr. Mahan relaxes by getting out into the wilderness with his family. He can often be found running early in the morning.

    Dr. Mahan is personable, engaging, willing to explain things in understandable terms (layman lingo). He instills confidence in his communication and explanations. My arm (dominant) works because of him. Thank you so much doc!

    Dr. Mahan was very friendly, professional and helpful.

    I am sure the doctor is talented in his operating room and evaluation role. I guess one cannot have it all. I would have liked a bit more "bedside manner" and a bit less efficiency.

    SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTER

    When a specific surgery was suggested, I asked Dr. Mahan if he were in my place would he have the surgery performed on himself and he said yes. That gives me a lot more confidence in my decision to have Dr. Mahan be my surgeon. When we had our virtual interview he was very clear and descriptive showing us on the MRI where the problem areas were and answered all of my/our questions. Thank you for asking.

    I truly trust that he would do the same for me as he would for a personal friend or one of his family members.. Goes out of his way to answer all questions.. grateful for him.

    He was kind and willing to go through my long medical history. This helped us decide what would be my next step in treatment

    He has his own agenda. Doesn't really care about the patient. He has a superior air about him. Almost narcissistic
