Partnering to Provide Pediatric Care

We are proud to serve as a premier community partner with the Pediatric Occupational Therapy Fellowship and Pediatric Physical Therapy Residency Programs at Creighton University. Through these programs, we strengthen clinical expertise in pediatric therapy and improve the therapy experience for children and their families.

In addition to individual therapy sessions, we offer coordinated sessions with multiple services, including small-group camps and programming and informational sessions on selected topics.

I was so impressed with the progress my child was making in feeding therapy that I decided to start him in OT, speech, and PT here as well.

As of May 1, 2021, Creighton Pediatric Therapy will allow two additional people back with the patient for their appointment. We request no siblings still at this time. We will allow the patient and up to two additional people to wait in the waiting area for their appointment. We still require you to wear your mask and will continue to screen everyone who comes in for an appointment. Creighton Pediatric Therapy reserves the right to change the policy at any time due to current COVID-19 measures.

Creighton Pediatric Therapy will require all patients 12 years of age and older and other visitors to wear a mask during their therapy visit. Please come prepared with your own mask or bandanna that covers your mouth and nose. Thank you.

Due to COVID-19 we have changed the clinic admission procedure for patients and enhancing the infection control procedures for care providers in accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). If a patient presents with a cough or fever, they will be given a mask, have their temperature taken and asked to reschedule their appointment once they receive a physician’s note indicating they can return to therapy.

If you currently feel sick, please reschedule your therapy appointment, and call your physician. This is especially true if you have a fever, cough, sneezing, or shortness of breath. The same thing applies if you have had any of these symptoms in the last 48 hours.

If you have traveled outside of the United States, please reschedule your appointment or ask your therapist if your child is appropriate for telehealth services.

To reschedule an appointment or if you have questions, call our main phone number at 402.280.2200.

Our address is 17055 Frances Street, Suite 103, Omaha, NE 68130.

We are located just northwest of 168th and Center in the Lakeside area. From the intersection of 168th and Center, go a few blocks north on 168th and turn left (west) at the Frances Street stoplight.

Please enter through the south (main entrance). Families with special mobility needs should use the accessible entrance on the west side of the building.
