Dr. Dolan did an outstanding job on my knee surgery. After a complicated history and a recent accident, I’m already seeing steady progress just weeks post-op. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident in the plan. My knee feels stable, my recovery is ahead of schedule, and I truly appreciate his skill and care. I highly recommend Dr. Dolan to anyone needing expert orthopedic treatment.

I just recently took my son into Great Basin Orthopedic and was impressed with the staff and the short wait times. Dr Dolan was able to explain the MRI and X-ray results very thoroughly and understandable. I really appreciated his compassion for my son's injury and his knowledge of sports injuries. I would strongly recommend Dr Dolan to parents with teens in sports.
