About

Putting you at the center of your care

While every patient is unique, not every orthopaedic practice treats them that way.

At Great Basin Orthopaedics, we truly believe in a patient-centered approach. We believe you should be evaluated and treated as an individual with unique needs.

You will benefit most from care tailored to your needs, so we make sure you see an orthopaedic specialist during every visit. Our doctors work with you to develop a treatment plan that works for your lifestyle and your performance needs, whether that means getting back to running marathons or picking up groceries without pain.

We are Northern Nevadans with a vested interest in the health and vitality of our community. We are also parents and spouses, sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts. We recognize that everyone has individual passions, interests and roles. We work to get you back to the life you want to live with better motion and less pain.

Our patient-centered approach means:

  • You’ll see an orthopaedic specialist on your first visit — and every visit.
  • You’ll have the time you need with your doctor — time to ask questions, get answers and discuss options.
  • You’ll be actively engaged in your care — not a spectator on the sidelines.
  • You’ll never be treated as a number — you’ll receive thoughtful care individualized for your body and your life.
  • We’ll work to return you to the life you enjoy and the activities you’re missing with improved mobility and less pain.

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.

Dr. Dickens is a great surgeon he has done now over 4 surgeries after I was in a motorcycle accident when a car hit me. He has really been an advocate for me and for getting things taken care of. Plus his positive attitude and encouragement is second to none.

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!

Very professional! Very friendly, helpful and respectful.
Dawn S
Amazing professional! She made a custom splint for our son (who lost the tip of his thumb) so he could get back to playing sports. She squeezed him in without an appointment. Thank you!

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 staff at Great Basin are the best I've ever encountered. I can't pick just one because they all work so well together and step in when needed to complete a task. I really thought it was amazing. AND all were so friendly and interested.

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.

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

The x-ray tech Kathy was a pleasure. I was crying from the pain and she even took the time out to hug me.

If you have hand issues ~ Dr. Dooley is who you want as your physician. Knowledgeable, honest and validated my concerns. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Staff is superb and helpful.

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

I have been going to GBO for many years and the staff and doctors are amazing and easy to talk to about your conditions , as well as, procedures if needed.
Sandy Dunn
A very efficient run medical facility. Very professional staff who greeted you with a smile and introduced themselves in all interactions with the organization. A model for other medical groups to take notice.
General
Great service. Nice staff. Would recommend to anyone needing knee replacement.

If you live in the Reno area, you just can't do better than Great Basin Orthopaedic. I'm someone with knee problems going way back decades, as well as other orthopedic issues, so I think I know what I'm talking about. Don't settle, get the best, go to Great Basin, or, as they call it GBO. I promise you will be glad you did.
