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.

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!!

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 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.

I will follow Amy wherever she goes. I relate to her because of her approach, and I trust her judgment and treatment plan(s) without hesitation.

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!

Great care and friendly staff!

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!

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.

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.

I have seen 3 doctors in this office and they are all excellent in their field.

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.

After my great success with Grant after my knee surgery, requested him once again for arthritis issues on both shoulders. While there are still improvements to be made, I feel I have made progress in a very short time, because of Grant’s knowledge & skills in his field! Most important, he cares about his patients & listens to their needs! In addition, Grant makes sure his staff follows through with his instructions & gives the same great care! Many thanks & appreciation to Grant & his staff at GBO!!

My son was seriously injured in a skateboarding accident. The hospital said nothing was broken and sent him home telling him to follow up with an orthopedic specialist. He did not have insurance but was in process of getting some as he just moved to Nevada and no long qualified on mine. I called all the orthopedic clinics I could find they all said they would not see him. Finally one said OK in Sept. Even though I told them he could not use his arm at all and was in incredible pain. Get some insurance and call back. I offered to self pay for him still no. I finally found Great Basin. They were the kindest most helpful people I had talked to anywhere. They got him in within 4 days. The cost was exactly what they said. They then counseled him on where and how to get some insurance. When I followed up with them the next day they explained how they had applied the payment I had sent and his situation regarding insurance. I understood he was going to need insurance for any major treatment. We just needed to have his arm examined and get a professional opinion and make sure letting it go, while we got insurance, was not going to cause more damage. Great Basin is the first medical facility I've had to deal with in the last two years that has actually treated us like living beings. I am so appreciative. Thank you for helping us.
