Dr. Whitcomb has cared for our girls for over twelve years. She is smart, attentive,…read morecompassionate, and works her tail off to advocate for her patients. She skips her lunch, stays late and sacrifices much in order to give her all to her patients. I have sent her a message after hours, or (not knowing) when she was on vacation and I always get a rapid response or a phone call. Dr. Whitcomb has always been very family-oriented and our girls' health care decisions have been decided by us--with her guidance. She will tell us the facts and answer any questions we have before any medical decisions are made. There is another review on here that mentioned Dr. Whitcomb's stance on vaccinations as being the reason the woman left the practice and found a new clinic. I have to comment that we vaccinate, fully, on schedule and even get the flu shot (gasp!). I have never, ever had Dr. Whitcomb say anything against vaccinations. She encourages dialogue and will give you her opinion with the research behind it and allow you, the parent, to make the choice as to what is best for your child. Having said that, she has always been on our side with getting vaccinations. Lastly, I'd like to say that I have been with Dr. Whitcomb as she has transitioned into a private practice pediatrician and it has been a pleasure being able to see her now in her element, running things like the boss she is. There's a peace in the office. We love everyone that works there. The front desk receptionists are always warm and friendly. The phone nurses are great and the practice nurses are the best. Michelle is a dream when it comes to blood draws--quick and one poke. I can't say it enough--we love Dr. Whitcomb and her team. Highly, highly recommended.

Updating. I am…read moreremoving an additional star. Furious upon finding out when I switched pediatricians that my 2 year old, who I believed to be covered and caught up with all vaccinations by Whitcomb's office, was actually left behind on one important shot and had had another incorrectly timed (so needed to be done again). Even though I was always very clearly pro-science and pro protecting my child from preventable disease... and always opted for all shots "on time". For those who haven't read my earlier review: I recently moved to a new pediatrician's office after discovering Whitcomb has an unfortunate reputation among Omaha's more eccentric and scarily "crunchy" set as THE pediatrician to go to if you want someone who will be very understanding/lenient about irresponsible decisions to either delay vaccination or not vaccinate. Irresponsible meaning more based on "I think Jenny McCarthy is smarter than a doctor or medical researcher" and not based in actual medical fact or family history of vaccine reaction.

During COVID, we used their drive through covid testing (which was a lifesaver when you have 3 kids all testing at once) and our daughter especially had a hard time dealing with the test. They were super patient with her even though it was an extremely stressful time. We've always been able to get in and get care when we need it! No office is perfect, and there are the occasional small miscommunications but these hardly outweigh the positives we've experienced with everyone there. They really have a heart for kids!

The nursing staff on the recovery floor were eager to help us learn how to take care of our first baby, as we are pretty much clueless! And, and many people noted to us, the food was very good. The only recommendation I would have is for some more proactive accommodations for the dads/support people who stay with the new mom and baby. Totally get that the mom and baby are the patients, but little things like having two towels in the bathroom instead of one, would go a long way in making their extended stay easier too.

As first time parents it can be nerve wracking picking a pediatrician. After meeting with Dr…read moreBernard Douglas prior to baby being born, it was a no brainer that he was the perfect choice for us. He was able to get us in for a meet and greet within a week of me calling to schedule. He spent a lot of time (after business hours) answering our never ending list of questions. He was so polite and happy to assist us. He definitely put our minds at ease and we felt more confident in our decision making process as parents after leaving his office. He's open minded and educated on vaccines, he doesn't push them and respects what we want to do for our daughter, which is what we were searching for in a pediatrician. After our daughter was born he came to the hospital both mornings we were there. He's excellent at maintaining follow up and I know he truly cares for our little one. He even had the office schedule our follow up appointments for us, super helpful after having a baby! We love Dr. Douglas and we know we're in good hands.

I switched to Children's Physicians when my family practice doctor switched from Methodist to an…read moreAlegent-affiliated practice. I just decided it was time to get a real pediatrician and start going to an office specifically set up for children. And boy, do I recommend it. My biggest qualm with my old doc was her crusty old nurses and unpleasant front desk staff. You deal with those people as much as, if not more than the doctor, so it's important to like them. Nurses who specifically work with children are much friendlier and much better equipped to handle issues like meltdowns over shots. I chose the embassy park location because it was closest to where I lived at the time. I now live in Gretna and there is a CP location out here, but I love Dr. Smith so much that the drive is worth it. She was assigned to me at random, I think, when I first signed up as a new patient but she turned out to be great. Laid back, listens to you, isn't overly opinionated or judgmental of different parenting styles. She also referred us to a great child psychologist affiliated with Children's who practices in the same building once a week. It's nice to have a one-stop shop. They offer Children's Connect, an online service through which you can look up copies of your child's medical records, schedule appointments, get reminders, email the office staff about non-emergency issues, and best of all, fill out all of the repetitive family history paperwork ahead of time so you don't have to do it at the office. There are other great resources like breastfeeding consultants and financial counselors. My only complaint about this particular building is the parking. It's a tiny lot for a large building with multiple businesses. The spaces seem narrow and are awkwardly laid out and of course everyone drives large SUVs and vans and misjudges their vehicle size and often don't do such a neat job of parking...I've really had to squeeze in a couple of times. But that's really the only downside.
