BIO

Devastating injury can be a real motivator. For Allie Janas, seeing patients with serious orthopaedic injuries heal and transition home was the inspiration for her career path. More than a decade ago, when she began her nursing career as a trauma ICU nurse, she witnessed firsthand how an efficient and evidence-based orthopaedic team could change the course of a patient’s future.

Throughout her well-rounded career, Allie has seen and treated a variety of acute and chronic injuries. She has diverse experience in all orthopaedic subspecialties – including conditions and injuries of the shoulder, elbow, hand, hip, knee, foot and ankle – and is passionate about constantly developing her skills to improve patient outcomes.

Allie’s approach to patient care is rooted in compassion. Sensitive to the emotional, financial and physical toll an injury may have on a patient, she is dedicated to providing high quality, patient-centered care. At Great Basin Orthopaedics, this includes keeping her patients informed so they can be at the forefront of decision-making, as well as collaborating with the surgical team to develop high quality health care plans with an emphasis on the patient experience.

Allie was born and raised in Carson City, Nevada, where she developed an appreciation for all the activities our beautiful area has to offer. When Allie and her husband aren’t exploring the outdoors, they can be found spending time with family and friends, or proudly supporting their daughter – a multi-sport enthusiast who participates in hockey, gymnastics, soccer, dance and basketball – from the stands.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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.
