I have seen several doctors in the Ortho Nebraska group. All, including Dr Coffey, have been prompt, courteous, and professional. They have spent an appropriate amount of time and listened to my concerns. I am very favorably impressed with the care I have had from all and I highly recommend Ortho Nebraska to friends and relatives frequently.

After a very frustrating experience with another orthopedic office, I walked into this office on a Thursday afternoon in pain, stressed out, and honestly not knowing what to expect. The difference was incredible. I was seen early the next morning, had new X-rays, and learned that I actually had three fractures—not just the one I had previously been told about. Despite that news, the doctor and his athletic trainer took the time to explain everything, answer all of my questions, and put my mind at ease. What meant the most to me at OrthoNebraska was simply being treated like a person. The doctor actually came in and spent time with me, never made me feel rushed, and the follow-up calls were very professional. That level of care and compassion really stood out. I am so grateful I found this office and would highly recommend this doctor and his team to anyone needing orthopedic care. Even with three fractures, I left feeling informed, cared for, and reassured that the right team was going to be performing my surgery.

They were on time with the appointment and efficient with the x-rays. The doctor was knowledgeable about my problem and addressed it appropriately. I will use them again in the future.

Dr. Coffey was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. During my third trimester of pregnancy, I was struggling with severe numbness and tingling in my hands that was affecting my sleep and work. After simple steroid injections in both wrists, I had tremendous relief and was able to return to work comfortably. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Coffey more—10/10 experience and outstanding care!

Everyone was professional and kind. I called after I scheduled an appointment for a broken wrist, the gentleman on the phone was pleasant and made sure to have my X-ray from an outside facility requested prior to my next day visit. The receptionist was patient; only the short form was sent via text/email so I had to fill out the rest of the forms when I arrived. Dr. Coffey and his nurse were very thorough and kept me informed with all my options and did not pressure me in anyway. I feel that I made a very informed decision to have the surgery scheduled. All my questions were answered prior to leaving and they made sure I had a number to call if I did have additional questions. The billing department called and explained the cost after insurance. Even though it was more than I expected, I am glad that I was told ahead of time instead of being in shock when the bill came in the mail. He assured me that payment plans are available. The nurse who called prior to surgery was very informative as well. And most importantly, I appreciate that I was able to get in quickly- broke my wrist Saturday, seen on Tuesday- and have my surgery scheduled for Friday! Thank you so much for all that you do!! See you Friday for surgery!!!

Jen was very helpful. She made eye contact. The service was timely and welcoming from the front desk and right up to and through the appointment with the doctor.
