I had double knee replacements three years ago 6 months apart. Released with no restrictions. I kept returning with gait, pain, and lameness concerns. No further diagnostic testing done except X-rays. Dr. finally recommended he numb the major nerves in both knees, recommended for patients who were "unhappy with their replacements." Wishing one final second opinion outside Lincoln went to Dr. Kevin Garvin at UNMC who ordered additional xrays and a nuclear bone scan. The scan revealed aseptic loosening in both replacements, with the last knee replaced already showing signs of rotating. I have undergone two total knee revisions since his finding, replacing the discs with ones with spikes attached that descend into the tibia. The revisions take longer to heal and are more painful. Please seek a second opinion if you aren't progressing but failing and someone is recommending you deaden the nerves running through your knees. read more

We had to come here on a Saturday to get my daughter's foot checked out after she had injured it at the gym the night before. The staff are very nice and let her speak for herself without any type of reserve or anything like that, so that was great. The check in process was a bit arduous and I felt like I had to repeat my answers, basically and triplicate so that was a bit annoying but the staff was very friendly and assured me that it would allow The doctors examination to go more smoothly. Once we were all checked in, there was almost no way, and after a quick examination by one of the nurses, we then were taking off to the in-house x-ray. The room we were seen and was brand new with very impressive equipment as her father I was allowed to attend the x-ray, and they made sure that we were both safe and process us very quickly. Once we got back to the room, we saw the doctor, and what was great that he was able to explain things and show things to my daughter and language that she was unable to understand. What I really appreciated was that he then also explain things in a more advanced and higher level for me to understand what was going on the best course for treatment and recommendations for how to stabilize her foot and get her back to normal faster. Overall was very impressed with this visit. Beautiful office nice staff and wonderful doctors. I would highly recommend this for anybody who needs urgent care for orthopedic problems. read more

On March 9th When I was at ER at Saint E's for my fractured shoulder they took a regular X-ray and seen NOTHING. (Weird) Then had an MRI at AMI and my shoulder was messed up. It was fractured, dislocated, tears and fraying. Finally went to NOC and the took more regular X-rays and didn't see anything. Said Let Mother Nature heal you. I'm in excruciating pain. April 15th and still nobody has done a thing. I had a CT scan Friday- no results yet. Getting frustrated I'm in extreme pain. But nobody can find anything unless it's an MRI or probably a CT scan. Those regular x-rays are pure garbage. Don't get me wrong. The doctor was nice. I can't leave much more because nothing was done. Office experience it didn't stand out to me because I was in way too much pain to even pay attention. I'm sure they were nice. I just don't remember. read more

I recently had my first MRI at Nebraska Orthopaedic MRI Center. Kate did an excellent job. She was professional and personable. She also gave me a pillowcase to cover my eyes and headphones to listen to music. I especially appreciated her walking me through the entire procedure so I knew exactly what to expect and how long it would take too. My (shoulder) MRI was uneventful and it took apx. 15-20 minutes. The worst parts were not moving during the imaging and the loud noise, in general. Otherwise, it was super easy! Also, insulin pumps and sensors cannot be worn during the procedure. read more

I've never been a fan of going to the doctors office but I have to say the minute I walked in the door to Lincoln Orthopaedics I was treated extremely well. From the receptionist to Dr Lawson and the other physicians I met everyone took a genuine interest in me and my needs. At all times I was treated with respect and kindness. Everyone was extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend this center with no hesitations. If I need cuttin' on again this is where I'm going. read more

After taking my wife in on a referral, LOC doctor disagreed with the referring Orthopedic Doctor and after three visits and one injection and looking at X-Rays and an MRI, the doctor at LOC explained that they didn't know what it was and suggested we go elsewhere for another opinion. The perfect practice of taking your money and working to determine absolutely nothing. read more
