Dr. Matthew Byington

01/10/2026

We are excited to share a major milestone for Prairie Orthopaedic: today marks our first day in our brand-new Omaha location. Dr. Byington has been serving the communities in and around Omaha since beginning in practice in 2013. This beautiful, modern facility reflects our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional orthopedic and podiatric care in an outstanding environment. With established locations in Lincoln and now an upgraded presence in Omaha, we are proud to expand access to high-quality care for patients across Omaha, Elkhorn, Gretna, and the surrounding communities. Dr. Byington will be providing comprehensive orthopedic care in Omaha in addition to Lincoln, including shoulder, elbow, knee, sports medicine, and general orthopedic services, with both clinic and surgical care available.

We are also excited to care for patients alongside Dr. Katherine Ternent, DPM, who will be offering expert foot and ankle and podiatric services at this location. Dr. Ternent is a proud Omaha native with deep family roots in local medicine, and her dedication to compassionate, high-quality care aligns perfectly with the mission of Prairie Orthopaedic. We continue to build this practice together with our outstanding Prairie Orthopaedic & Plastic Surgery, PC surgeons—Drs. Pat Hurlbut, Gustavo Machado, Kara Krejci Reed, and Tanner Dodson—who serve these clinics and many outreach clinics throughout Nebraska.
