Reputation for the Best:
Personal Care, First-Rate Facilities

The United States has become the destination of choice for thousands of international patients. An increasing number of people are selecting the orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation services of the University of Nebraska Medical Center/The Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC/TNMC) in Omaha, Nebraska, a friendly, accessible community in the center of the U.S. Patients enjoy personal attention from professional staff, and their families appreciate reasonably priced accommodations and welcoming surroundings.

At this nationally respected institution, a staff of more than 1,000 faculty physicians and scientists, 1,550 nurses, and more than 3,000 therapists, technicians, and other highly trained professionals deliver comprehensive and innovative medical treatment. Nearly 90 physicians on the famed list, The Best Doctors in America: Central Region, practice here, bringing their experience, compassion, and dedication to an extraordinary patient care system. The department is affiliated with seven nearby hospitals that offer outstanding care to children through older adults.

U S News & World Report magazine selected UNMC/TNMC among "America's Best Hospitals," and the National Research Corporation, which judges hospitals by consumer preference, gave us its "Number 1 Consumer's Choice Award." Several of our faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation serve in leadership positions in local, state, and national scientific organizations.
