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.

He was very attentive and professional when applying pressure on the back of the wrist. If I took it easy it would heal up in 4-6 weeks Saved me from a cast which would have put a damper on my lifestyle

Hurt Finger
I thought everyone at Great Basin were friendly & welcoming with the exception of the check in person . She gave me an Ipad to fill out questions then began to ask me things. I told her I couldn’t talk to her & fill out the I pad. She seemed insulted that I would even suggest such a thing! Really, can people answer questions from two different sources at the same time! Dr Dooley was professional & thorough & answered my questions.

He’s always very nice and professional, even when I was running alittle late. He explains everything regarding your treatment plan or surgery. More importantly, he allows you to ask questions.

I thought maybe I was just imagining I had an issue or it was overuse of my hand. He knew exactly what was wrong when I began explaining my symptoms. I will highly recommend him to others.
