I forgot my walker in the bathroom after my appt & they found it & will make sure I have it brought to my room the day I have surgery. They are very caring.

My sessions are 30 min twice a week which equals one hour. During those sessions, we do snippets of activities based on the routine/exercise program suggested. However, no significant "workout", I'm left with having to do them on my own. Maybe my idea of PT is different than the therapist; however, my idea is hour long sessions if that's what it takes and going through all the exercises during these sessions. The end result I and my physician are seeking, will not be accomplished this way.

In my experience Ortho Nebraska is the most organized, professionally ran medical facility in Omaha. I have had occasion to receive tx for a fx elbow and the current problem and the care has been consistently excellent.

It was a very positive experience. The only negative is the long walk to the back to go into the rooms. It was an obstacle course as well with people and equipment in the way. Not enough room to easily navigate with a walker.
