I just want to add a 5-star review for Dr Fyda here! With all due respect to Cindy S, I think her negative impression was not with Dr Fyda personally, but rather with the timeliness of the staff getting back to her regarding her emergency treatment.
I was diagnosed with "frozen shoulder" by Dr Fyda several weeks ago, a condition that is SO excruciatingly painful (shooting, throbbing, stabbing pain in the shoulder area, radiating to collar area, neck, back and down the affected arm) that I was having trouble sleeping at night. My mobility in that shoulder was severely impacted, too.
Dr Fyda gave me an anti-inflammatory cortisone injection into that shoulder joint - and he hit the *sweet* spot, which is also important, because unless you kill inflammation in the joint, range-of-motion can not improve. Within a few days, I was off ALL pain meds, period. The pain was GONE!
I began the 4 range-of-motion exercises recommended by Dr Fyda immediately after that injection, easing into them as the pain diminished. Doing those exercises religiously 2-3 times a day for a month pretty much CURED me of frozen shoulder - a condition that can take up to 3 years to resolve. I credit Dr Fyda with the diagnosis and treatment for my miraculously fast recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Fyda or the entire unbelievably cheery, patient-oriented staff at Great Basin Orthopaedics to anyone. I sure know where I'll go again if I ever get this horrendous condition. read more
