Orthopedists who are Physicians - Reno, NV

"Dr Johnson has an excellent reputation around town and for good reason. He was very kind and patient with me and my family. He took the time to explain my injury and his plan to make everything better. He is an extremely intelligent and gifted surgeon. I would trust him to my entire family. His staff was equally as amazing as well. 5 stars without hesitation!"

"Dr. Diefenbach is a very compassionate doctor. He listens to what you have to say. He will not rush into surgery. Dr. Diefenbach has preformed three different surgeries on my ankle and I could not be happier with the out come. I highly recommend him for your foot or ankle orthopedic doctor. He is truely amazing. "

"This doctor performed a below the knee amputation on me a year ago. After a few months I developed a "bubble" under my skin at the surgical site. It started hurting within a week of the surgery. I brought it to his attention and he ignored it. In January of 2022, after months of serious pain, the bubble burst. It created an tear from the inside out. When I went to see him about it, he did nothing. No MRI, no antibiotics, nothing. He let me suffer for five months with an oozing wound. HE DID NOTHING. I have had to secure the services of another doctor in Carson City to try and get rid of the infection caused by Cassinelli's negligence. I truly don't understand why this man is allowed to cripple people with no consequences. I am probably looking at further surgery (more amputation). He has ruined me physically, financially and emotionally. Avoid this doctor at all costs."

"Dr. McCarthy & her staff are extremely involved, very polite , very professional and very good at their jobs . I wouldn’t recommend using any other Surgeon. I had a full ACL replacement and a Meniscus repair in two places . I am now three months in and walking comfortably with 90 percent mobility. I also have next to no pain . Dr. McCarthy or someone from her team always reach out just to check up which gives you a good sense of security & comfort."

"I have been seeing Dr. Nichole Joslyn for a little over 4 months now. There are no words to adequately describe the exceptional orthopedic surgeon she is. I had an accident in June of 2022 with a trailer that collapsed, and crushed my left hand. It left my index finger amputated, and the middle finger barley being held together by a thin bone. It was not known if the middle finger could be saved without having to amputate it also. The day I had my first appointment with her she came into the room, and noticed I was in tons of pain immediately. She gave me a block for pain to give me some relief as soon as it could be assembled and administered. I was so taken back immediately with the depth of compassion, and the extreme awareness she had to want to help her patients be as free of pain as quickly as possible. She looked at the possibility to save my middle finger, and to do reconstructive surgery, and plastic surgery without having to amputate it further to save it. After examining it further she was positive she could save it by doing reconstructive, and plastic surgery without having to amputate it at the same length the index finger was already amputated at. When she told me this. I remember I felt so grateful, and so amazed that she could do this that it brought a few tears to my eyes. Others who had looked at my hand in the emergency didn’t know if it could be saved without further amputation. In the emergency room they thought the index finger would have to amputated to the next natural bend in my finger. After examining the index finger Dr. Joslyn discovered she could do reconstructive surgery on it allowing me to keep the same length it was after the accident happened. I was so grateful not more of it had to be amputated to save it. I stand in awe every day at the outstanding results she left both my fingers with. The middle finger already looks like a normal finger. When the finger finishes healing all the way no one will even be able to tell it was almost completely amputated in my accident. She is amazing. Not only are her professional skills of the utmost highest level, her schooling, experience, and her impeccable commitment to her patient’s best outcome is beyond words to describe what they mean to me. She knew I would have to wait 2 and a half days before she could get me in for surgery. She then told me since I was her last patient for the morning, she could offer me the option to do the surgery in her clinic without being put under. She told me it would be the same surgery as I would have if I waited but she couldn’t put me under. She told me if she had any other patients waiting, she couldn’t have offered it to me. She told me she would forgo her lunch to help me if I was in favor. I can’t express how touched I was that she was willing to make that sacrifice for me. Dr Joslyn is one in a lifetime. Never have I had a doctor who has given her all to give her very best to her patients. I am so taken back by her true, genuine, caring, compassionate heart that she would put their needs above her own. She cares that her parents only receive the best care possible. She redid 3 stitches because she was so committed to that. She also talked to me and put me at ease so I would feel more relaxed and not afraid. Dr. Joslyn to me is the epitome of the kind of doctor that I wished all doctors were. As I have continued to recover and have now progressed to physical therapy to strengthen, and gain full function of my hand again. Her attentive, and genuine watchful care continues. The therapy room is close to the area of her clinic. When she has a free moment when she doesn’t have a patient, she checks in the physical therapy room to see how her patients are doing, and to answer any questions from the physical therapist, or her patients. She is completely committed, and devoted to her patients through the whole process of surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation. She has a true, genuine interest about her patient’s full recovery that they receive the ultimate, and best outcome of their healing,and recovery for the rest of their lives. Everything about her is top notch. I can’t say enough good about her. I couldn’t recommend anyone higher. She is above superior in my experience. Anyone who has the blessing of having her as their orthopedic, and plastic reconstructive surgeon or orthopedic specialist. Is getting the best there is. They don’t make them better than her. In addition, you couldn’t ask for someone with a warmer, compassionate, caring heart. To me she is the best doctor I have ever had in every way. She cares about your time, and she respects everyone’s time that sees her. I have found her diagnosis, treatment, knowledge, and skills to be the highest level. Her expertise is right on. I have trusted her implicitly, and have been so glad I have. She knows what she is doing, and is so gifted, and excellent at what she does. I hold the highest respect for her, and will be grateful for what she has done for me every day for the rest of my life. "
