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 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.

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 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.

I am sure every patient is different but I can tell you from my experience Dr Richnic and his staff are very professional and made my procedure VERY comfortable and Accommodating from the first time I reached out to them to the last day . I am a 63-year-old male who is very active in doing ultra racing Spartans and a lot of gym time and was having some discomfort in my right knee, while I was still able to do my activities I was worried that I would not be able to continue overtime. Since the procedure my knees have felt stronger and I’m able to do things I wasn’t prior to the procedure. Like I said everybody situation can be different but for me this has made a huge difference in my lifestyle and I would recommend it if you feel that it’s right for you to make an appointment and go check it out.

Dr Richnak is great! Very pleasant and really cares about the patient's well being. I've seen him for my back and hand and has helped me to get to feeling better

Dr. Richnak has been very helpful to me treating pain in my left leg and hip. Very patient, does a thorough exam each time and makes every effort possible to help heal whatever injury you may have.

I had a very good appointment with the doctor. He reviewed my records, did an exam, asked me a number of questions, and allowed me to ask him a number of questions. After all that he had some very good ideas about what my issue with my hip might be, and has referred me for physical therapy. When I really liked is that he listen to my questions And my ideas. I would recommend him to anyone.

It wad a fantastic experience. Your help with my shoulder was fantastic. The PT with Carrie was fantastic two. My shoulder is doing fantastic now. I also was surprised that once I got my insurance going and I called you how fast your office got me in. That’s why the five star rating from me. Also your work with my mom on her shoulder is fantastic two.

Joel Ricknak is AWESOME..he is super kind ,treats you with so much respect and he listens plus he never rushes you out. His knowledge in his medical profession is amazing. I 'm beyond grateful that he is my doctor. Kim💞

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 maners. 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-

I went to see Dr Richnak for my back and neck issues. I’m very happy with the outcome. Between him and his physical therapy team my back and neck are doing much better. Thank you Dr Richnak

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.

I had my consultation with Dr Richnack for stem cell and platelets injections. Everyone including Dr Richnack was very nice and I was explained about the procedure. I hope to have a good result after the procedure and recovery period and be able to do physical activities without any pain. I will update my review later on after procedure and recovery.

The doc was an excellent listener and seemed to really care about my pain. The ultrasound was in his office so it was quite efficient in determining my condition. The resultant cortisone shot had effects overnight and I was back on my feet the next day. Thank you doctor ‼️

Dr. Richnak was very thorough and explanatory and used the MRI computer images to show the source of my unrelentingly low back pain and ache. He suggested an additional epidural cortisone injection. Admittedly I am apprehensive about it as 6 prior injections were of absolutely no benefit and, in fact, #6 worsened the pain and range of motion. I know it is illogical but I am fearful of becoming an invalid and wheelchair bound. But Dr. Richnak has given me hope of some recovery even if it is not 100%.

It is refreshing to find an M.D. who understands that nutrition and proper exercise are key components of healing and healthy living. Coupled with a safe PRP procedure, Dr. Richnak helped me to avoid bicep tenodesis surgery. After three months I am swinging a golf club again and am grateful!

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, runing, 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!!

Dr. Richnak has helped my osteoarthritis pain for many years. He is an excellent physician, has specialized training in stem cell and other therapy, and I highly recommend him. Mt. View Rehab has great MDs and physical therapists!

10 months ago I could not walk 10 months ago I could not walk. My left hip was gone; bone on bone, osteoarthritis. My doctor told me..."it's really bad Tami", upon seeing my x-rays. I was in constant pain at the level of 10 and above for over 10 years, if that is possible to understand. I hobbled through my day, working and trying to live. Friends would say that it was painful to watch me try and walk. Doctors and technicians who viewed my x-rays and tests would ask me how I was even hobbling. I was a professional dancer, and athlete who didn't know if my life, or what had been my life was over. Would I even be able to lift my future grandchildren up in my arms? Would I be able to ever sleep a full night or roll over without crying out in pain if I leaned the wrong way? Besides the injury, I was a healthy, vibrant, 57 year old woman, who wanted to keep my body parts, and have a more natural method of healing options if at all possible. I then researched and found Regenexx and Dr. Richnak in Grass Valley, CA. He's better than a good doctor, he's a human being who understands how to communicate details and science and gave me what I needed to make my decision and find personal success and healing. Fast forward to today, 8/21/19, four days ago I returned from a 14 day trip traveling through Mexico City and the Emerald Coast. I have no pain, just discomfort at times with muscles and tendons I am still strengthening. I climbed three pyramids including the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, danced a finale with Ballet de Mexico, kayaked the Xochimilco Canals, swam in a lagoon on the Emerald Coast, all with my new tissue growing in my hip. Two months ago I danced the groom/mother dance at my oldest son's wedding. My physical therapist told me yesterday that I have surpassed any goals she could of had for me to achieve. That she never would have believed my hip would have healed this much, or that it was even possible to be and do what I have done, and am still doing. You see, I'm still on the growing season for tissue from the stem cells, my stem cells. I see new results, strength and abilities returning daily. Where hip replacement would have plateaued as to results by now, I keep growing and gaining...new tissue, and more of my life...my quality of life back...heck, a new life. This experience has changed me. I'm a new person, more thankful, more humble, with a greater sense of purpose and ...faith. Good things can happen. They should happen in our lives. Thank you Regenexx and Dr. Richnak. I believe we get what we settle for in life, I'm glad I didn't accept any thing less than the best for my life.
