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.

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.

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

It was a great visit. I felt heard and cared for, and left feeling very satisfied. I immediately texted a friend to recommend GBO.

I hurt my foot playing softball last summer. My friend referred me to Great Basin Orthopaedics. The doctors were super nice, and the employees were super nice, too. I hope to be back on the softball field this summer.

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.

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!

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!!

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!
Austin Noriega
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!

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.
