Nebraska Internal Medicine

I have been a patient of NE Internal Medicine for over 20 years. The clinic is an outstanding organization that provides superb care. Their expertise has literally saved me from death and disability. Especially high-quality care and compassion for older persons.

NE Internal Medicine has given us the best care we have received. It is a larger practice and has a lab to rapidly obtain results which enable the doctor to change a recommendation right away.At the current age of 76 Dr. Dayana Patera is the Best Doctor I have ever had. I am a professional PhD scientist. She provided us with references to scientific articles as approximate. The office, nurse, and laboratory staff are excellent.She identified the possibility that I could have aggressive prostate cancer when my PSA was 7 and suggested I contact experts in the cancer treatment. After advanced proton radiation treatment or my Stage 1 aggressive cancer at Mayo Clinic, semiannual PSA tests confirm I was cured.When we came to Nebraska six years ago, we became independent residents at Eastmont and had access to selecting healthy foods. My wife previously did not cook some healthy vegetables as she did not like them. My annual blood tests showed that the levels of lipids, etc. were firmly in the healthy range. Currently, I am taking no medications or supplements.Her excellent medical advice and care and being at Eastmont which facilitates exercise and eating healthy was meant that my wife and I are stronger and healthier than we were before returned to Lincoln.My wife who is also a scientist has major health issues when we arrived in Lincoln.Thanks to Dr Patera she is stronger than she was six years ago. The medication she was taking for a mental disorder was recently reduced by 2/3nd. For the first time in a long history of Type 2 diabetes, Dr. Patera got her a continuous glucose blood monitor, which is not considered standard practice. To ensure that she got the best care, Dr. Patera referred her to an endocrinology specialist. After a complete examination, the specialist said he could not improve on Dr. Patera's plan and referred her back to Dr. Patera.My wife's father was cared for by Nebraska Internal Medicine for decades by another doctor. He lived in independent living at Eastmont until he was 103.5 and passed at the age of 104.We believe the other doctors are excellent, as Dr. Patera. This is the first care center where the laboratory for most tests are done on site. We have seen nothing to suggest that the 1 star rating that is posted is accurate.
