Women in Elkhorn, Waterloo and Valley turn to JennWell Women's Health for PCOS and metabolic hormone care, including insulin resistance, cycle restoration, acne and hair thinning. 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.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormone conditions in women of reproductive age, yet many women spend years being told to simply "lose weight" or "take the pill" without anyone explaining what is happening in their body. At JennWell, PCOS care starts with listening, a thorough history, and targeted lab work that looks at androgens, insulin, glucose, thyroid and lipid markers together.
Because PCOS is closely linked with insulin resistance, Jennifer Neilan, WHNP, approaches it as a metabolic and hormonal condition. Your plan may combine nutrition and movement strategies you can actually sustain, cycle-regulating options, insulin-sensitizing medication when appropriate, and support for skin and hair concerns. The goal is to restore predictable cycles, protect long-term heart and metabolic health, and help you feel like yourself again.
What Elkhorn patients come to us for
