I have been a patient of Dr. Jeff Kiley, the podiatrist, the greatest podiatrist I've ever been to. 10 out of 10. He recommended Dr. Bonness. I also believe he is a 10 out of 10. He resolved my issues within one visit when we came up with the first one. I could not be more excited to be a patient at OrthoNebraska.

Dr. Bonness is the best. Great shoulder replacement. Takes time to explain and answer questions. Would use his services whenever needed, and highly recommend him.
