I highly recommend Dr. Israel. He took the time to sit down an listen. Didn't feel like I was just getting pushed through so he could get to the next patient.

Dr. Israel has taken over for our beloved Dr. Richard J Thompson. I am so grateful. He is very nice, caring, takes time with you, just like Dr. T did. I hope Dr. Israel has a long-tenured and prosperous practice in Lincoln NE.

He took over the practice I had been with for over twenty years. I got no notice from the office that my doctor was no longer practicing. Nice enough guy and I only saw him once to ask for help with meditation. When his assistant messed up the onsuranxw pre-authorization for the 4th time in 18 months I got upset on the phone with them and they terminated me. I didn't find out until I called for an appointment and a refill. They said I was rude, made me cry and laughed at me when I asked if Dr israel would reconsider. I would not recommend this office.

Does not listen to patients. Is not a good doctor at all. He told me his goal was to get all of his patients off of pain meds, regardless the reason they are on them . Just a pathetic excuse for a doctor
