Our team includes board-certified specialists in internal medicine (2), Surgery (1), Emergency and Critical Care (1), Neurology (1) , Oncology (1) and Diagnostic Imaging.

Our new 17,000 sq. ft. facility features 11 exam rooms, 4 operating theaters, a dedicated ICU with telemetry and long-term mechanical ventilation capabilities, and comprehensive in-house laboratory equipment.

Omaha is a progressive and vibrant metropolitan area that is future-focused but firmly rooted in a heritage of hard work and hospitality. The greater Omaha region boasts a combined population of more than 925,000, and the community’s most prized assets are the people who help it grow and prosper. Omaha boasts a diverse economy supported by several industries and influenced by its geographical location on the Missouri River that earned the city its historical title of “Gateway to the West.” There are eleven colleges and universities among Omaha's higher education institutions, including the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Creighton University. Omaha was #25 on Forbes Best Places for Business and Careers, and has a cost of living 9.7% below the national average.
Nebraska isn’t just a fly-over state – it’s the Heartland’s hidden gem! In most places around the world, people may find it a bit strange if someone on the street or at the store strikes up a conversation with them while they’re going about their daily business. In Nebraska this isn’t the case! The epitome of Midwestern friendliness, a Nebraskan can walk into a room and instantly become friends with everyone. Nebraska Cornhuskers football is basically a state religion. On game day, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln becomes the third largest city in Nebraska with over 90,000 cheering fans. The Cornhuskers have been one of the most dedicated fan bases for over half a century, and it should come as no surprise a baby Cornhusker’s first words are usually “Go Big Red!”
