    Went very well. Was encouraged to ask any questions I had.

    Dr. Erik Lewis along with Dr. McGarry and Dr. Lunning were of the care that I'd refer to in Sports Terms as Owner Robert Kraft, Coach Bill Belichick and Quarterback Tom Brady of the 6 Time Super Bowl Champs - New England Patriots. Note: I am not a Patriots fan per se but as a sports fan - they are the Greatest to EVER do it on the Football Field. That is how I feel about My Medical Team and Care that I have received. I would, will and have recommended the Nebraska Medical Center to some of my snobby friends in New York and Los Angeles who think that Omaha is some farm in the middle of nowhere with unsatisfactory healthcare. I've seen firsthand how special UNMC is per the care of My Father although surreal - with me this past month. I am FOREVER grateful to the entire staff at the Nebraska Medical Center.
