Women in Elkhorn, Waterloo and Valley turn to JennWell Women's Health for Biote® hormone pellet therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), perimenopause and menopause care. Elkhorn patients reach our Gretna office with a quick drive south, making unhurried visits easy to fit into a busy day.
Care close to home in Elkhorn
Elkhorn kept its own identity — and its own Elkhorn Public Schools district — after becoming part of Omaha in 2007, and it has continued to grow west along the Highway 31 and 204th Street corridor. Neighborhoods here are full of busy professionals and families who want care that doesn't mean fighting cross-town traffic.
Because Highway 31 connects Elkhorn and Gretna directly, many Elkhorn women find our office easier to reach than clinics in central Omaha. Waterloo and Valley patients often use the same route, staying west of the city the whole way.
Getting here: From Elkhorn, Highway 31 runs south straight to Gretna, avoiding Dodge Street and central Omaha traffic.
Every visit is with Jennifer Neilan, WHNP — a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner trained at the University of Nebraska Medical Center with more than 27 years of clinical nursing and OB/GYN experience. Appointments are unhurried so you can share your full story and leave with a plan that fits your life in Elkhorn.
Perimenopause can begin in your late 30s or 40s, often years before periods stop. Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can bring hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, heavier or unpredictable periods, and changes in libido and vaginal comfort. Too many women are told these symptoms are "just stress" or something to push through.
JennWell offers individualized menopause care, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and Biote® hormone pellet therapy when it is a safe and appropriate fit. Jennifer reviews your symptoms, personal and family history, and risk factors, then discusses options such as Biote pellets, transdermal estradiol, micronized progesterone, vaginal estrogen for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and non-hormonal therapies. Follow-up visits fine-tune dosing so you get relief at the lowest effective dose, while monitoring bone density and cardiovascular health over time.

- Hot flashes & night sweats
- Sleep disruption
- Brain fog & mood changes
