Late post 6/18/26 Surgery can be unnerving, scary, and…read morefilled with so many emotions, but it makes all the difference when you're surrounded by a caring and compassionate medical team. Jenn was wonderful and immediately helped put me at ease. I especially appreciate when a nurse gets my IV on the first try--it may seem like a small thing, but it certainly doesn't go unnoticed! It's always such a strange feeling to go under anesthesia and then wake up with everything already finished. Bette was incredibly calming, kind, and attentive during my recovery, which made the experience much more comfortable. I also want to thank Dr. Kaiser for his care and concern in making sure all of my issues were addressed. My gratitude extends to the anesthesiologist and every nurse in the operating room for their professionalism, compassion, and excellent care throughout the entire process. I'm truly thankful for everyone who helped make a stressful experience as comfortable as possible. Hopefully, this will be my last surgery for a very long time!

I was referred to Doctor Malcarney by a physician I know (and trust), so I set up the appointment…read more MRI was ordered, and the PA (Shawna Fearnley, who is very professional), filled me in on what tendons were no longer attached to my Humerus, and what needed to be done reconnect them (surgery)! Following this meeting, I must have come across three other physicians who all recommended Malcarney, one operating room RN who highly recommended Malcarney, and a bunch of other people at our Health Club (Should be called a recovery club) who gave high praise to Malcarney for her work on them! So I had the surgery (can't say that it was great since I was out cold when she was operating on me), but I can say that Malcarney and all of her team members were outstanding in their communications, their follow-up, their bedside manner, their subdued yet appreciated sense of humor, and their positive attitudes! It was as good of an experience as one can hope for, and the rest is up to the PT and my ability to follow his instructions... In closing, I have to say that I appreciate Malcarney's approach and how she and the PA explained it all. I highly recommend her, as do apparently countless other former patients in and around the Reno Area...I think that speaks volumes! You can't go wrong by going with Malcarney to perform the surgery...you can only go wrong by screwing up your shoulder (like I did)...Just glad that Doctor Malcarney was there to repair it all!

He is passionate about making people feel better and educating those that are curious. No matter what kind of pain I've had, I know I'll be able to walk out of our appointment with a sense of relief and ease.

The atmosphere is comfortable for me as I am accustomed to gym environments, in fact it motivates me to stay active.

I feel extremely cared for by Chris because he takes his time with me, I never feel rushed and he isn't trying to sell me things I don't need.

It would be helpful if there was an online link so patient could fill out in advance of their first appointment. Prominence Medicare required a $40 copay for the initial evaluation ($10/PT) and pre approved 16 visits. I had to suspend PT due to lower back pain and Dr requiring lumbar injections prior to an ablation therapy appointment and requested 6 weeks after ablation before resuming PT.

I have over 30 years of management experience, that includes ownership of a medical practice. So, I had my first visit to Advanced Chiropractic and here is what I found just last week. Initial phone appointment: Very friendly and informative and easy to get questions answered and make the appointment. A+ experience. Check-In: Front desk was upbeat, and even though they were quite busy, she made me feel welcome and made sure I understood everything and did not rush to get me set up. Added bonus. I'm a new patient and was given a tour of the office and various options they offer for treatment. I was impressed! I asked how long she had been with the practice and she replied, "How long do you think?" Then said just three weeks. If I were still in the business, I would do what I could to recruit her to join one of my companies! Then met the Chiropractor, Dr Melissa Perotti. I wish I had her energy! She confirmed the issues I had, asked knowing I had prior treatments at another office what type of adjustments I preferred and went to work! I experienced instant relief and told her which I've found important to communicate with providers. My sense was, everyone including the Doctor wanted to be there, enjoy helping people and have a commitment to patient care. Management begins with hiring and the front office even with a good doctor can really diminish a patient experience and I believe Dr. Perotti understands that and has not forgotten in her years of experience how to provide a very positive experience from that initial phone call, checking in, and checking out!

My neurosurgeon required PT before he would do surgery so I came here. Thank god I did because I never had surgery and she healed me all with physical therapy. 4 years later I tweaked my back after moving and had numbness and tingling for months before coming back to see her. She worked her magic once again and I am symptom free! My experience here has truly been life changing. I cannot thank her and her wonderful team enough! She is so kind, knowledgeable, patient, extremely intelligent and most importantly I can tell she cares about her patients. Each employee that has helped me throughout the months has been absolutely delightful. 10/10 recommend this office!

For the actual appointment, they sent in a PA instead - so I didn't even get to see the doctor I was scheduled with. While she was bubbly, she was also very rude and unhelpful with her advice.

She was not knowledgable with recommendations or her answers to questions - I got a lot of "I don't know"s. And she was extremely rushed - the appointment was probably 5 minutes.

Last July 2025 I fell down my stairs and broke my left hip, I had to go to the emergency room and a doctor over at Swift Institute was on the Emergency side of it, and replaced my hip with a few screws. Well, the screws were coming out as I walked, so I saw Dr. Winkle back at great basin, and he said you're gonna have to have your hip totally replaced, as the screws are poking out.! I ended up in the hospital a few days after surgery with a stomach problem, and he actually came by to see me, and it had nothing to do with my hip, he just wanted to make sure I was OK! Absolutely incredible Dr, I highly recommend him and any doctor at Great Basin Orthopedics! The best! I needed a nausea medicine, and unbeknownst to Dr. Winkle the medicine he gave me for nausea also helped the stomach problem I was having so I could eat again, no other doctor has ever prescribed that medicine for me and I get these stomach issues a lot, we were really impressed! Thanks Dr Winkel!! I cannot believe how well I am doing, love my new life!!

He has given my husband various types of injections as needed and he is quite skilled at doing so. Now that we are older, issues that need physiatrists crop up.

She seems very nice and friendly, and clearly cares about her patients. I like that she has a conservative approach and isn't recommending any crazy meds or surgeries - just a reasonable approach to trying things to relieve pain. She listens and explains things well and it was really cool to have her show me MRI results of my back and explain what was going on in there. She was highly recommended by my physical therapist and I am very glad to have found her.
