Very satisfying experience. Lynn was very personal. Dr. Doran was excellent and very knowledgeable
He explained what was needed. He wanted me to have a scan and xray before making a final decision as to what he could do for me.

Dr Doran was very candid in explaining all my options and said he would need more information before recommending any type of surgery. I appreciated his honestly and the time he took to answer "all" of my questions.

It would be difficult to find a fault with my visit with Dr. Doran, but if I must list one, it would probably be the distance of travel to get there, and even THAT wasn't too bad from mid-town Omaha. Great experience and peace of mind thanks to Doc and his staff. Thank you!

Worst surgeon ever. His exact wording was anyone in Omaha could do my surgery and be successful as it was an easy case. After he performed the surgery I was in more pain than before and he refused to listen. He even told my husband after my surgery in the hospital that I would be going home in 30 minutes and would be dancing. I was in the hospital for another 3 days with pain so intense I couldn't move. It was horrible. The pain always got worse when I was upright. Finally after 2 months of my insisting there was still something wrong as the pain always increased terribly when I was on my feet he ordered an upright mri and found out the disk was still pushing on the nerve. Like I didn't know that as I was living it. He never would admit his mistake but previous to the mri accused me of not wanting to go back to work. Because I was in so much pain I went in for a revision surgery and he left me in even more pain. The nerves at l4/l5 s1 were permanently damaged during that surgery and will never be normal again. I'm left with this for my entire life. I definitely would not recommend him or his staff.
