Mindy Keane, PA-C

Physician Assistant to Dr. Jon Uggen

Mindy Keane, PA-C, is a Physician Assistant specializing in hip and knee arthroplasty at MD West ONE with Dr. Uggen. Mindy completed her Physician Assistant education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Mindy grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, as the youngest of five siblings. She went to Wayne State College for her undergraduate degree, where she played four years of collegiate volleyball. During her time at Wayne State College, she became drawn to the medical field when her brother suddenly went into kidney failure and required a kidney transplant. Luckily her other brother was a match and was able to donate one of his kidneys. Through this, she was able to see how a patient can be taken in by a medical team and life dramatically changed by medical intervention.

During Mindy's Physician Assistant program, she spent time learning under several MD West One physicians as a student. She has since stayed in Omaha, working her entire career in orthopedics. Mindy loves working alongside Dr. Uggen as he truly cares about each of his patients and treats them all as if they were his family members.

Outside of work, Mindy enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, two dogs, photography, lifting weights, and outdoors.
