  • Apr 20, 2025

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff and providers. I don't have anything negative to say. I don't think I can get better care anywhere else

  • Jan 20, 2025

    Dr Holstien does an amazing job of reviewing my test results and setting expectations for support treatments like vaccines and limiting exposure with my suppressed immune system. She is also complimentary when I make efforts to help myself like keeping current with my primary care doctor. She has also taken the time to know me as a family man and knows and ask questions about how my family is doing.

  • Jan 11, 2025

    The care provider was pleased about my progress. Answered all of my questions very thoroughly. It was easy to believe she was interested in and knowledgeable about the care I required and what the prognosis might be. She was willing to tell me she couldn't predict the future That was very pleased with results so far.

    Explained everything in an informative and easy to understand manner

  • Dec 09, 2024

    I saw my Dr and two case workers along with a gentleman that talked to me about donating blood and bone marrow. All of them were amazing! Explained everything in detail asked several times if I had questions. Would 100% recommend them!

  • Nov 21, 2024

    Tops!

  • Nov 17, 2024

    I am so very grateful to have been referred to Dr. Holstein by my Milwaukee Oncologist when I moved to Lincoln, NE in 2022.

  • Nov 05, 2024

    Dr Holstein does not have a very good bedside manner. Came across very rude & abrupt. Didn't seem to want or care to hear what my son or I had to say. I'm used to kind, caring, & compassionate Drs so this was very disappointing to me.

  • Oct 01, 2024

    Dr. Holstein has done an amazing job keeping my cancer under control and keeping me on the right path.

  • Oct 01, 2024

    I'm always telling people how wonderful Dr Holstein is. I was referred to UNMC by a doctor in Lincoln who didn't fully understand the nuance of my cancer because it is complicated. I came to my appointment fully terrified and thinking that I was going to begin treatment that would be very invasive and would have limited success. She was so helpful and explained to me what was going on at a level that I could understand but it was also clear that she Is so smart and knew what to do and what our plan of action would be. I am so grateful for her and her direct explanations. I also enjoy talking to her every three months at my appointments.
