Tifany L. Somer-Shely's Online Review Report Card

I'm currently in my second pregnancy with Dr. Somer-Shely and regretting not switching after my first as I had planned. She is condescending and does not care about patient concerns. She doesn't have time during appointments to discuss anything. She pushes for inductions, with no medical reason, to meet her schedule. During my first pregnancy, I tried to discuss my birth plan and she told me to discuss it with the nurse when I got to the hospital. Low and behold, I was talked into literally everything I didn't want. Now during my second pregnancy, she doesn't even know what happened with my first. After telling her that my first was a horrible experience, now she is asking what I didn't get that I wanted. She literally has no idea who I am and would not even recognize me if she saw me outside of clinic. I would expect that from someone who took my gallbladder out, not someone who I have been frequently seeing over the past two years through two pregnancies. Terrible doctor. Find a different doctor!!

Best Doctor I’ve ever had. I was pregnant at 16 and she treated me with so much respect and compassion, (where as I had a rude doctor before going to her, who judged me for being a teen mom.) I will always recommend her to anyone who asks. She puts her patients first, and it really shows how passionate she is for her career, and for her patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Somer-Shely for over 15 years and two babies. She takes the time to truly listen and cares about doing what is best for her patients. I would highly recommend her. One thing to note is that there is always a bit of a wait but it is because she is taking time with her patients!

Horrible experience. She completely systemizes your pregnancy. Rushes through appointments. Pushes lots of interventions for her convenience as opposed to what is best for the mom and baby. Find another doctor.

Dr Somer-Shely is my wife's OB-GYN and just delivered our perfect little boy. Her bed side manner is second to none and she is very caring about her patients. She's at the hospital first thing every morning to check on her new mothers and babies. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good thorough OB doctor.

Dr. Somer-Shely is a wonderful doctor. She provides excellent care for me and my 2 daughters. She has delivered 5 of my 6 grandchildren. Most recently she removed my cancer at such an early stage that I do not have to have any type of radiation or chemo treatments. She saved my life. She ALWAYS shares her knowledge so I know exactly what is going on and what I can expect. Omaha is so fortunate to have Dr. Somer-Shely in our area. She makes Omaha a better place to live. Thank you, Dr.

My regular ob/gyno Dr. Kling couldn't take on my first pregnancy bc she too many pregnant patients so I decided to go with Dr. Somer-Shely for my first pregnancy. All of the office visits went fine, she was hurried in most of them but it didn't bother me enough to change doctors. When I was at my last appointment she decided I needed to be induced two days before my due date(I didn't want any interventions and she knew that). She told me it was due to a slight raise in my blood pressure well the day we went in at 6am saw her once and then didn't see her until three hours later. I was dilated to 10 by noon that day. She came in twice for a few moments then ran out of delivery room.

I was extremely unsatisfied with the level of care provided to me by Dr. Somer-Shely during my most pregnancy. She is always in a hurry and very dismissive to patient concerns. I would not recommend her at all.

Very nice but does not listen to your concerns. I always felt like my concerns and questions were a haste for her. She was also very condescending when I declined the flu shot.

Dr. Somer-Shely does NOT listen to patient concerns or symptoms. I recently suffered from an ectopic pregnancy. When I called to speak to her about what was going on with me (sudden onset abdominal pain, nausea, passing out), I specifically asked her if I could be suffering from an ectopic. She told me NO, ectopics are usually diagnosed around 5 weeks and since I was already 7 weeks, that probably wasn't the case here. That it was most likely a "GI bug" and there was no reason to go to the ER. She failed to timely diagnose a potentially life-threatening condition. Because of this, I had emergency surgery, lost my right fallopian tube and 25-30% of my total blood volume. My recommendation is to look elsewhere for Obstetric care.
