Dr. John B. Thomas, (402) 331-9500 He is the best! Highly qualified, wonderful dentist!!! I've sent Matt & Jim to him in the past - plus sent neighbors, co-workers... you will be very happy with his work!
Trisha S. replied:
Jim and I go to Dr Thomas DDS and I love him. You get to watch tv while he is working on your teeth. I love it because it takes my mind off what he is doing.
Lois A. replied:
Dr. Thomas is located just past 84 & Harrison - 1 block west - his bldg is just South of Harrison - parking lot next to bldg.
Minne D. replied:
Dr. Pepper will take your teeth out. Does that count?

Omaha P. replied:
Not OB but I see Lynn Kocian at Gretna Family Health and she has been great to work with and extremely knowledgeable about losses, weight struggles, PCOS, and anything related to hormones. I would highly recommend her. ~Amanda
Jennifer W. replied:
I saw Dr Ziegenbein an ob through UNMC who diagnosed me w/ pcos. She monitored how meds helped my cysts w/ u/s and we tried fertility meds also, though it wasn't successful. I lost weight and got pg twice on my own after stopping meds. I then switched over to the midwives@UNMC for the rest of my pregnancy. GL and I hope you find the right Dr for you!
Jaime C. replied:
I see Dr. Erin Evans OB at Associates in Womens Health, she diagnosed my PCOS. When I needed a reproductive endocrinologist for fertility I went and saw Dr. Victoria Maclin at https://www.facebook.com/122638221127764Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine, PC. Hands down the best experience of my life, and I now have a beautiful daughter!!
Steph M. replied:
Pope Paul Institute is fantastic! That's where I got my diagnosis. I was bummed that I had to stop going there because of insurance. They're great!
Amanda W. replied:
Definitely Pope Paul because they are going to get to the ROOT cause of why you have PCOS. Personally, I healed my PCOS with doTERRA's Long Life Vitality supplements, Phytoestrogen Complex, Bone Nutrient Complex, and ClaryCalm blend of essential oils. It took a good year to heal, but I'm so glad I did it.

Lucy N. replied:
I like Harold Huff at Methodist on 156 th and dodge. He isn't crunchy per se, but he is open to anything and won't judge. He is the only person from the medical field who didn't act like everyone will die when I said I'll have my baby at the Midwife's place.

Check with your insurance first! I see Dr. Player in CB. He was recommend by co-workers. My insurance does work with him.
Valentine B. replied:
I just made an appointment at Rupp Chiropractic. They are amazing and did a consultation for free with me at first. Then they contacted my insurance company and told me exactly what I would pay each visit. I never was referred to them either.
Omaha P. replied:
A llot of chiros have cash plans that can be cheaper than insurance. Our old insurance charged $50 for a copayment when visiting a chiro. We see Dr Kate at Essentials Family Chiropractic & Wellness and her cash plan was less. ~Katie
Amber P. replied:
Pathways Family Chiropractic doesn't take insurance, but she also has no set fees. My whole family (myself, hubby, and kids ages newborn-4 yrs) sees her weekly and we all love her.

I'll check into her. I have psoriasis and I have some concerns about psoriatic arthritis. But I know typically you have to see your pcp first to be referred to a specialist. Maybe I can go straight to Dr. Ryan w/o referral.

Courtney R. replied:
I have seen tons in Omaha plus was back out to see Dr. Oro they can give you a headache pill thats basically like Excedrin Migrane, however if your still having headaches you may need a shunt or its just a symptom of Chiari that your going to have to deal with. I have had 3 Neurologists tell me that including Dr. Oro. Just because we wre decompressed doesn't promise us the symptoms will go away:( I need a shunt here but not in Colorado so I have to managed my symptoms cause shunting me could be deadly so I just continue toget spinal taps:(
does anyone know of a good general practitioner. Havent been to the dr in years and need one to prescibe me good head ache meds.
Samm R. replied:
Dr. Cindy Janssen at Creighton Alegent on 96 th and Q. I've been seeing her for like 10 yrs and I absolutely adore her.
Sara M. replied:
When I lived there I found the dr of my dreams, dr. Christine Inguanzo, Alegent Health593- 1700, 96 th and giles also. For years drs would say, here's some meds come back if its not better. When I'd go back they'd say the same thing for multiple visits. This dr. Got to the bottom of whatever it was. There's a couple dr's at the same place I would avoid. janssen wasn't one of them though.
Jane M. replied:
Dr Harnish. He left UNMC and started his own practice. The man is a real gem!
