Dr. John Christopher Puente, MD

I don't understand all the negative reviews on here. I saw Dr. Puente today and he was excellent. Professional, took time to listen to me, did not rush the appointment at all. I felt validated. Very nice guy. I was hesitant after reading all these reviews, but truly don't understand what everyone is saying. He had a very pleasant personality and I was very pleased with my visit with him.

He doesn't care and shuffles through patterns like an assembly line. His receptionists have talked down to me, argued with me and hung up on me. He prescribed me a medication that made me feel drunk and they refused to change it.

Absolutely the most arrogant, rude, patronizing jerk I have ever met. I was disregarded and repeatedly spoken down to, even after stating I have a PhD. Complete waste of my time.

Dr Puente is very informative and really took treating my daughter serious due to her young age. I feel very secure with her in his care. He is definitely an MS expert

He listened to me, he did not rush, he had a good bedside manner, he was thorough. He explained things and answered questions.

Dr Puente is caring and attentive.. he explained everything detailed. He shows concern and is very kind. I cannot understand the poor ratings people gave. They are wrong. I always follow "treat people with respect and kindness and they will do the same."

Dr. Puente is a very fine doctor who has been treating my mother for over a dozen years since her traumatic brain injury. Dr. Puente is very thorough in his examinations and has a wonderful rapport with my family. One gets the impression that he genuinely cares about his patients. He is very receptive to patient and families' ideas and will be open-minded in his approach to examining alternatives to medications. The staff at his new location seem to be somewhat confused on the phone, but Dr. Puente's services are well worth it. Dr. Puente sees patients in Lincoln as well as Omaha.

My neurologist referred me to Puente and mary Filipino because he was retiring. They took me and told me they would keep me on the same meds that my past dr had me on because they were working the best that anything had thus far. From day one marys nurse Mia was ok until I mentioned my pain meds then she treated me like a druggy. Mary was to fill my pain med prescriptions fir me and when I needed the gard copy prescription my walmart was to call the office and she would write them up and I would pick them uo. Walmart called and was told that I had to go see a pain clinic to get my pain meds. I went to my general practitioner and he refilled them. When u seen mary the next time I told her about it and she said no I want you to have 1 refill of each of them. She felt sooo bad...lol and I'll set you up with the "pain clinic". She set up the appt at the "pain clinic" and I go to the office v to get the prescriptions and nothing again. Abd the "pain clinic " was a neurologist in omaha. Not… a pain clinic. He doesn't deal with opiates either. I called to get my tecfidera from them until m I ne got delivered and set up my next appt and the short of it was they wouldn't give me an appt. They told me I was no longer a patient there? I got a voice mail from Dr. Puente (whom I've never met) saying he has informed all his employees there that I'm no longera patient there. They will not refill my prescriptions and will not give me my tecfidera. WHAT??? I'm in a new town no dr no referrals no neurologist no meds. And I just got used to the tecfidera and none of that either? Totally unethical. The office mfr tried to say walmart rejected the refill of my pain meds. A lie! I recorded walmart and my dealings with them after they lied to me. Also because my memory isn't the greatest. My phone gas a recorder on it also. The mgr tried to tell me that they got reports from several eastern nebraska pharmacies that I was trying to get opiates. LIE!!! I told him he needed to prove that they couldn't prove it. The "pain clinic dr" is now my neurologist I was never hooked on the pain meds ever I should not have had to go wuth this chronic pain though. I have never taken anything since I just live with it. My quality of life has gone down hill. He's not a dr. He's a coward. Him nor mary spoke to ne. She lied to my face. And to not give me refills or give me my tecfidera? I got so sick coming off that. I won't try another.

When other doctors dismissed me as crazy, Dr. Puente kept searching for an answer and found it. A great physician. Always has time to listen and help.

Very good neurologist. Cares about his patients.
