Joel D. Richnak, M.D.

Was referred to Dr. Glaze for the pain and inflammation in my neck rendering my right arm weak and nearly useless, but the office said I had to see Dr. Richnak first. Dr. Richnak showed very little interest in what I had to say or in the medical reports I brought in depicting my condition. Gave me a cortisone shot in my arm which I explained hadn’t worked before and sent me on my way. I called later that day to explain I was still in pain if not more so and they told me that the office was closing and that the doctor left for vacation. I originally was hoping for an MRI on my neck and corrective action from what was found. I have never been to a less caring facility.

One week after PRP with Dr. Richnak I could walk up and downstairs with no pain for the first time in 18 months! Today was my first ski on my almost new knees! There was fab new powder at Tahoe Meadows on the Mount Rose Highway calling me. My knees aren't quite ready to snow plow down a steep hill, but just 3 weeks after PRP injections they are so much better than last winter already! Thank you Dr. Richnak for giving me back the life I love!

Dr Richnak, and Glaze are Pro's. If your out of the area and thinking why would I drive to Grass Valley; don't think about it twice, make the drive. The Doctors and staff are first rate and professional. If your mining for health solutions this is the place for Gem's. Mountain View took care of my significant amount of back pain I have endured the past 8 months and wish I have known sooner. Their collaboration on my health finally put a smile back on my face. Thankful

Dr Richnak and staff are very caring and helpful. The Dr. Takes plenty of time to actually LISTEN to you and address your questions, never dismissing your concerns. He is also very honest about expected results. The stem cell procedure is smooth and efficient. Nurse Tina is a gem. She actually brought in her sound system from home so I could have nice relaxing music during the procedure. She also shopped for crutches for me to use temporarily. I felt I was in good hands with this medical team.

They were able to get me in sooner than expected. Their office staff, primarily Michelle, were beyond kind and extremely helpful! She made the process to establish care easy. I got caught in road work construction for my first appointment and they were understanding and still fit me in. Dr. Richnak himself is very honest and has good bedside manners. He is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. I highly recommend this office. I should state I am being seen for severe right knee pain-

Dr Richnak is very good at explaining the procedure. He takes time to answer any questions you may have. I had a very good experience getting stem cells injected into my knee for osteoarthritis.

The stem cell procedure performed by Dr. Richnak has given me my active life back by repairing and restoring the physiology within the joint. Now, when I stress my knees by working, running, hiking, dynamic heavy lifting, biking, mobility work, or occasionally carrying a piano into the house, they recover and progressively strengthen as nature intended. Dr. Richnak's measured and honest counsel helped me make the correct decision that has allowed me to rehabilitate my badly injured knees. Wow!!

My doctor told me I needed total hip replacement. I wanted to see if stem cell therapy was an option. I sent several emails asking for information and help. Mountain View Rehabilitation center answer my request and I made an appointment to go to to Dr Joel D. Richnack, M.D. After I talked with him I was sure that I wanted to have stem cell therapy for my hips. It has been 8 months already since the procedure. It has been a slow process in my case but with steady improvement. I am sure that with extra time my hips will be just fine. I want to thank every body at this center.
