Why is it that Ortho seems to always cater to men? Sports are always on the TV and posters are of men's sports! Why can't you cater more towards a gender neutral environment?

I was very disappointed in the ortho appliance that was used. I could have gone back to have had the plastic adjusted as I was told. Instead I went an an Ortho supply store and out of pocket bought a better, more comfortable one.

I truly enjoy Tara Otis, how she is very, she empathizes with your situation, she asks questions, she makes sure you're comfortable, she tells you what she's going to do, she tells you how to do it and what to do at home to make her experience better and to further heal and go through the transition of physical therapy from being in her office and in her care at home. I've just always felt very comfortable with her. I enjoy her as a person as well, so I just really feel that she's a great choice in the hand therapy, physical therapy department for OrthoNebraska.

I've had seven orthopedic surgeries and have worked with four PTs. My experience at Ortho Nebraska has been the best experience I've had.

It was a quick fix for my brace, but it seemed like everyone would rather be doing something else My brace was fixed just fine, however.
