Only 3 minutes of professional conversation. No paperwork was given without paying a $1.00 per page. (The patient could not afford that, patient also saw that others got their paperwork for free) I believe this was due to discrimination. The management, doctors office (EDGEWOOD FAMILY PHYSICIANS ) & Traci should be held accountable for her unprofessional actions.

I've seen Dr. Michael Huffman several times, as well as a couple of their PAs and nurses. They have all been very friendly, helpful, and practical. If you are looking for a local physician, I recommend them.

Our family has been going here for years. We always feel well cared for. I typically see Becky Saathoff, and she always takes time to listen and truly get the root of the issue. She seems to genuinely care about my overall health. I highly recommend. A+!

Absolutely the worst treatment Ive received. I was told nothing about the bump on my ribs that I went in there for in the first place. They have a bunch of unnecessary charges that arent covered by insurance, which is worse since neither person I saw was very committed to anything they diagnosed. I was told both times I needed to be referred to a GI specialist only to not be referred to one. Why are they trying to stretch out the visits? Its not worth it to test this place out, when there are better facilities and operations anywhere in Lincoln.
