I am quite surprised at the minimal scar. And this is hard to believe, I know, but I did not even bruise! At. All. No bruising. He is incredibly talented, answers all questions, takes his time and doesn't leave the room until all your questions and concerns are addressed. I'm two weeks post-op and couldn't be happier with the recovery and again, very minimal scar. Dr. Shonnard is an expert in his field and he earned 100% of my trust. My husband is up next and he is changing doctors and scheduling with Dr. Shonnard instead after witnessing my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Paul Shonnard!

During my initial consultation with Dr. Zollinger, I pointed out the exact location of my pain, but…read morehe sat approximately three feet away from me. The surgeon's PA later specifically told me that my pain was coming from my right SI joint. Despite this, the procedures I ultimately received did not target the SI joint. I am particularly concerned because I was told that SI joint ablation is not covered by my insurance. That leaves me questioning why a different procedure was performed and whether insurance coverage influenced what was done. I cannot say that was the reason, but as a patient, I believe it is a reasonable concern when the procedure performed does not match what I understood I was there to receive. I also had a very difficult physical reaction to each procedure. About 10 minutes afterward, I nearly passed out from the extreme pain. This happened after all four procedures--two diagnostic procedures and two actual ablations. None of this was documented in the reports I received. I had to repeatedly call to obtain the reports, and when I asked that my reaction be added to the record, my request was refused. I subsequently sent the reports to my surgeon's PA, who told me that the ablations were for lower back pain. That was not my understanding of what I was supposed to have done, and I have experienced intense lower back pain since the procedures. I am still not certain what was actually targeted. My experience has left me extremely disappointed and concerned about the care I received. I would strongly encourage anyone considering an invasive procedure here to make absolutely certain that the exact area being treated, the specific procedure being performed, and the reason for it are clearly explained and documented beforehand.

It is usually pretty easy to get an appointment but they must adhere to insurance restrictions on timing. Office staff and the docs are all friendly and caring. The office is always sparkling clean. My main complaint is how consent to treatment is handled, it is put in front of the patient as you enter the treatment room with no opportunity to actually read it. It shouldn't be that difficult to hand out the document when you check in to afford a bit of time to read. Patients are only given a copy on request post procedure and I've not been in shape to remember to ask for it then.

He gives you his complete and undivided attention listening and incorporating everything the patient says. He asks important questions, does thorough physical exams, analyzes the problem critically and then orders appropriate tests/imaging if needed.

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.

He was unable to get another neurosurgeon that he had been working with towards potential back surgery to move anything up despite his quickly deteriorating status. My husband's GP office recommended contacting Dr. Sekhon. Dr. Sekhon reviewed his symptoms and agreed to see my husband the same week. Dr. Sekhon immediately recognized the urgency of my husband's situation (serious back compression progressing towards cauda equina syndrome). Dr. Sekhon scheduled my husband within 3 DAYS for emergency surgery. If not for Dr. Sekhon I am not sure my husband would ever have regained the ability to have normal bowel function or use his legs again. We are so thankful for Dr. Sekhon for his responsiveness and for his excellent surgery skills.

The effect is disjointed, interrupted and a bit disturbing treatment that is skilled but less effective than other more focused and private care. Today I was refused treatment because my blood pressure was volatile, as always, and I had tingly legs and arms, as usual. The difference today was that they measured my blood pressure and realized I was right in what I had told them. They will say they are required to refuse treatment because it is dangerous. It is no more dangerous than other days for me. Dangerous for them perhaps? I got fairly good treatment here, until they realized I had been telling the truth. It took weeks to get an appointment and find a therapy that helped. Then on a day when I really needed help, they refused. This is a no, unless you are young, strong and healthy and your insurance pays on time. My bill got more attention than my health problems today.

With all due respect to Cindy S, I think her…read morenegative 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.

I highly recommend him for any of your regenerative medicine STEM Cell or PRP injection needs to avoid having invasive surgery.

I commute from Sacramento to Reno for his treatments and his prices are the lowest I have seen after talking to over 20 doctors. He also does provide phone consultations for free and will be honest about whether or not he thinks he can reallly help you! If he can't, he will recommend a good surgeon that can help should you need a joint replacement. Thank you Dr McClish for keeping me active!
