Get back to doing what you love

Injuries happen. Life wears and tears on us. And sometimes we’re dealt a less-than-perfect hand when it comes to our bones and joints. But that doesn’t mean we throw in the towel on doing the things we love to do. And it doesn’t mean we have to live in pain.

The orthopaedic specialists at Great Basin Orthopaedics treat the whole spectrum of bone and joint injury, from diagnosis through rehabilitation. With sports medicine doctors, fellowship-trained specialists in foot & ankle, hand, knee, shoulder and trauma, on-site physical therapy and medical imaging, we have the technical expertise, experience, resources and skill to get you back to the life you’re missing.

What hurts?

Knee

Knee

As the largest and one of the most used joints in the body, the knee is highly susceptible to injury. From sprains and strains to dislocation and arthritis, there are many causes of knee pain, and just as many treatment options. 

Hand & Wrist

Hand & Wrist

Brushing your hair, pouring milk, opening a door — hand and wrist function are essential to our daily lives. When injury causes pain or inhibits motion or function, it's time to see an expert who can help.

Hip

Hip

When hip pain persists and prevents you from walking or standing comfortably, GBO can help. From total hip replacement to arthroscopic surgery and physical therapy, we have many options to reduce or eliminate pain and enhance mobility.

Elbow

Elbow

The elbow connects the radius and ulna to the humerus, connecting these parts through a system of ligaments and muscles. The elbow is a complicated joint, and despite its nickname, elbow injury is anything but funny.

Shoulder

Shoulder

Many people endure reduced function or pain in the shoulder unnecessarily. Patients benefit from GBO's board certified and board eligible surgeons who have specialty training in shoulder treatment, as well as onsite physical therapy.

Foot & Ankle

Foot & Ankle

GBO offers comprehensive foot and ankle care using both non-surgical and surgical methods. We work with you to restore function and alleviate pain resulting from injury or disease.

I love how smoothly everything runs here. My doctor is amazing the nurse is great too. From checking in, to follow ups to my surgery (ACL) everything went so smoothly and even my post op care. I wish all my doctors outside ortho would go so smoothly! Great job guys!

Doctor Timothy Dooley is the 'ideal' doctor, someone who validates my pain, listens to my problem and treats me with respect and courtesy and he laughed at my silly jokes. Smile and personality that put me at ease! Thank you for being you.

I was never a patient, but as an intern I enjoyed my time working here. The Doctors who run the practice are top notch. Work environment is structured organized and cheerful. I was offered a position but they couldn't get it approved but they gave me the help I needed to get my degree!

I'm very pleased with everything they have done for me.

Fixed my sons Right Clubfoot with very mininal treatment compared to other doctors recommendations. Minimal serial casting, No surgery, minimal bracing time. And over a year now with No treatment, and His foot looks perfect. Although I felt rushed along, and sometimes dismissed. I cant complain much, as I also felt the doctor did an excellent job, and wasnt there to screw around or put me through the ringer with extra treatments or procedures. Too many doctors out there seem to try and treat Clubfoot, and do more damage than good. Dont go anywhere else for clubfoot treatment.

The referral to the Physical Therapy Specialists was great! I really appreciate the efficiency of this practice in terms of taking me back at my scheduled appointment time, efficiency through x-ray, and not having to wait for the doctor. These attributes really made the experience.

Totally AWESOME STAFF!! You will be glad you used them—you owe it to yourself to check them out, rather than only the HUGE “other” Ortho guys. I tried them both and I am BLESSED that I ended up with GBO. They are passionate about improving your life and helping you fully recover! Six stars out of five, 11 stars out of ten!!

This place has truly been a godsend since my ACL surgery. Amy knows how and when to increase my activity levels. So lucky to have her helping with my recovery.

I can not thank Dr. Dickens enough!!!! He got my daughter in the following Monday after her injury and then surgery the next day!!! So great full and thankful for him! He did awesome job as well with the surgery! Hardly don't see the scar!

It's been a few years since I went here with a broken arm and I can't thank them enough for the excellent care I got!!! I was able to avoid surgery and avoid my arm getting to stiff since he didn't put me in a full cast. The staff was super friendly throughout the whole building from the receptionist, the nurses, the x-ray techs and the dr. Literally everyone had a smile and that's rarer these days
Carissa Byram

Always professional, courteous and compelling for me, the patient, to do exercises that enhance performance. I am challenged to exercise Amy's list of items so I can get better through each appointment. VG!

The check-in process was efficient. All the staff members were professional and cordial.
