Dr. Keith
Originally from the small farm community of Sherwood, ND (population 200), Dr. Keith’s education and career have taken him all over the country. From small towns like Sherwood, ND, and Minot, ND, to big cities like Portland, OR, Kansas City, MO, Chicago, IL, Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, and now Omaha, NE, every stop has felt like home with incredible people and new activities to explore. His wife, Megan, and their three children, Willa, Henry, and Winston, love traveling, particularly to see family in the states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Arizona, California, and New York.
When he’s not personally connecting with his patients, Dr. Keith enjoys exploring his local community to find hidden gems across the metro and beyond. Their family favorites are the Old Market, farmer’s markets, theaters, Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, THE Zoo, and walking and biking on the trails near Lake Zorinsky.
