I love love love Dr David Keller with Alegent. Not a fan of Alegent but love him. He never rushes me out the door. He is anti Meds if you really don't need them. He's a let's rule out easy/small stuff first. He listens and is patient. He explains things thoroughly and answers all your questions. He was leaving to go out of town and even called me from the airport to see how my newborn was doing after seeing him earlier that day!

I have a great dr at Methodist Women's. Dr Berryman. Wasn't by choice that I had a dr. I was with the midwives but at 20 wks ultrasound showed two babies! So I had no choice but to have a dr. She is who the midwives called in and she is great!
Renee S. replied:
Not a dr but maybe Four Winds Natural healing could help. I've really enjoyed working with them. http://www.fourwindsnhc.comAlso Life Extension is great. If you call they can help you select some blood test that you can then use to get proper supplements and then take the results to your doctor. http://www.lef.org

Dr Sherri can do everything that you need done most people don't realize what all she is able to do.

I see Dr. Lindsey Northam and after my baby I was also so tired. She ran a blood panel and I was very low on vitamin D. Once I upped my intake I felt a lot better!
Jolene C. replied:
I just saw Dr Fawn Jin with Methodist's Internal Medicine group at Regency. She was very thorough about pros & cons of my treatment options and has helped with some medication interactions. She had phone conversations with a two other specialists treating me to ensure continuity of care. First doctor I've seen that truly understood informed consent.

Lisa Whitcomb is amazing. She's our 4 th and we finally feel at peace.
Omaha P. replied:
We like Dr. Whitcomb too. She does give us abx usually for ear infections but it's usually for the best based on my kids' ear history. Thankfully for the most part we're past that and chiro has really helped lately. When she gives us abx, I know she really feels we need them. ~Jenn
Leslie C. replied:
Yes, I have heard great things about Dr. Whitcomb as well. I am a chiropractor and it has really helped a lot of kids with this issue!
Stephanie L. replied:
Lisa Whitcomb is good! She is very supportive of chiropractic care for ear infections and more natural treatments. She is with physicians clinic. Also I would recommend Koca chiropractic clinic on 120 th Blondo. Chiropractic care will help keep your child healthy.

Quinlan L. replied:
As far as I know Dr Finley is accepting new patients. He truelt is awesome. Hes very laid back and open to almost anything. We recently moved from Bellevue, where he is located, to Omaha (dundee area) and we will continue to see him cuz he is just that great!
Kate B. replied:
I second or twentieth or whatever # we are up to for Dr. Finley.
Denise B. replied:
A third for Dr. Finley.

Kristen T. replied:
Hmmm I know this isn't a perfect match but Dr. Finley's partner Dr. Larsen might be a good fit. She's in Bellevue not Omaha and she's only been in practice about a year now but she's open minded.
Cari M. replied:
I've been seeing Dr. Larsen for a few months. I really like her. I'm not at "crunchy" or "natural" as everyone here, but I think, like the previous poster said, she seems pretty open minded. I have been INCREDIBLY impressed with the staff there too.
Denise B. replied:
I like Dr. Larsen as well.:)
Denise B. replied:
Me too, Chelsea. There's a chance the kids and I are switching back to my old doctor because he's significantly closer to home (not crunchy, but he puts up with me, and we have a good relationship), but while we're still in that office, I prefer to see Dr. Larsen. I also really like Cassie, their new PA.
AJ C. replied:
I have seen both Dr. Larsen and Dr. Finley. I am the odd one out bc I like Dr. Finley quite a bit more that Dr. Larsen (although I have only seen them both a couple of times). I was surprised bc I havent seen a male provider since before I was pregnant with my first baby 9 years ago! ;)
Kristen T. replied:
I also prefer Dr. Finley as does my mother who has seen both. I just love his vast experience
Jennifer D. replied:
Dr. Brian Finley!
Crystal R. replied:
I agree, I know you said you would like a female, I was always the same way, but I started seeing Dr Finley with my third pregnancy, and am actually excited to take my kids to him, I've never liked anything about Drs!
Anyone got recommendations for a decent family doctor in Omaha? I don't like the guy I had been going to. He doesn't listen to me.
Jake D. replied:
Dr. Scott Wilson seems to do ok by me. Physicians Clinic Hawthorne Court. It's out near my house, so that would suck for you, but he realizes I'm not an idiot and actually discusses what's going on.
Dave L. replied:
Dr. Paul Meissner at Arbor Heights Medical is great as well. Whole family has been going to him for years and he's good about listening to patients.
Jay B. replied:
Dr. Vana in regency has been my doctor for a very long time. he's pretty awesome.

Dr. Jellyfinger at the Shady Park Medical Building has that strong touch. He really gets into the prostate checks too.
