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.

Prompt professional knowledgeable service encountered from all staff members very patient oriented practice. Very pleased with my visit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Basin Orthopedics repaired my elbow accident and recently performed a total hip replacement. The elbow outcome was excellent using GBO's Physical Therapy services and I am hopeful the hip will be better than new in a short while. Stephen Capel was my therapist for the elbow and is now for my hip. I have full confidence with him.

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

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.

General
It was super convenient having PT at the same place as my surgery because they worked together to help me focus on my goals, to know what I could and couldn’t do and what my limits were. They were available to answer my questions on the spot, which helped the entire process go faster.
Kiley Cryer
Great staff, great service. In and out with answers and a plan.
Lenny Mad
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!!
David Michael Bel

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!

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!
