Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

100%. Very professional & lower key office
Needed a Surgeons opinion on my right arm. Have been dealing with this since 1-1-23 He took the time to hear my concerns & treated me as a person not a #. Which was very important to me.

Dr. Fyda is THE BEST!
I made an appointment with Dr. Fyda even though I live in LAS VEGAS & his office is in Reno. He performed a knee replacement on my close friend & her knee is as good as new! She is thrilled with her excellent outcome! I was having terrible pain & issues with my knee. I went to a local orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knees & my knee actually GOT WORSE! After being examined by Dr. Fyda (x-rays, MRI, etc.) he suggested a series of injections… the treatment has been MIRACULOUS for me as I have no pain or movement issues. I’m so grateful I sought Dr. Fyda’s assessment of my knee. I give him & his wonderfully friendly & organized staff 10 STARS! He’s THE BEST & I recommend Dr.Fyda & GREAT BASIN ORTHOPAEDICS without hesitation!

Rotator cuff injuries
My experience with Drs Dealing with patients on Medicare their primary objective is to get you in an out 10 min or less. Dr. F after brief examination did address my rotator cuff injury with Cortizone injections which day later are seeming to help. My disappointment was the doctor was unwilling to discuss or advise on secondary issues I was having from my injury. He simply dismissed them as unrelated while I know for act having lived it they were direct result of my rotator cuff injury. These issues, high blood pressure, poor circulation, swelling and pain in knees and ankles having to sleep sitting up 2 mo. all emerged at the same time after experiencing my shoulder pains & immobility. I at least expected empathy and possible remedies to deal with these issues. An informed discussion on how to deal with my higher blood pressure, circulation issues, how to sleep rather than sitting up all night in a chair would certainly have been helpful. I NEEDED HELP, my 10 mins up, I didn’t get it.
