Surgeons - Reno, NV

"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. "

"I was referred to Dr. Lamberts in Reno because of blood in my urine. Their address iOS nor correct. They are at 5560 Lietzke Lane Building A. Dr. Lamberts ordered a urine sample. I had a Urine sample taken just days earlier at RENOWN, but he wanted to do his own. Before he received any test results he offered me various surgical or invasive procedures. Those included laser treatments to make the "hole" in my prostrate larger so try urine could pass more efficiently. He offered to scrape out my urethra so it was larger so I could pee better. He offered to use strings inside my body to lift up my prostrate so it does not press on my urethra. He offered a drug treatment that will shrink my prostrate but that will make my breasts grow (I am a male!). I felt like I was talking to a used car salesman! I wanted to know what caused blood in my urine, period. Dr. Lamberts is very, very young and frankly I do not have any confidence in him. He also ordered a CT scan, which I had just had, And he wanted to schedule an internal examination of my bladder by inserting a camera up my urethra. No, I do not want a CT scan, or probes, or surgery. Does my urine still have blood? Yes or no? "

"I have been seeing Dr Garrett for 6+yrs and would not go to anyone else. Her knowledge is amazing and she will remember everything about your case, no matter how much time has passed. Unfortunately the office staff is not what it was 6 yrs ago. Her new nurse does not even give you her name and always seems in a hurry to leave the room. The front office staff is okay and the checkout ladies are pretty friendly. "

"aloof, uncaring, uncommunicative office staff. Appointments delayed weeks ,again and again. Very iffy results, afraid to go back. Pain changed, not diminished. "

"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."

"Brought my daughter in for recurring severe throat pain and ear infections. The doctor sounded as if she were reading from a script during her exam and was uninterested in even looking at her throat because she didn’t have time to examine her ears AND throat in one visit. We waited over a month for the appointment and they don’t have enough time for the exam? Staff is unhelpful and the doctor was disinterested in helping. The doctor wouldn’t make eye contact or acknowledge me in the room. She only spoke to my daughter. There are more compassionate physicians out there that are a better choice than this office. "
