I broke my hip while vacationing in Mexico. I called Dr. Gallivan from there and he guided me through the steps I needed to take to get back to US so I could have surgery at home. No matter what difficulty there was, he supported me through the process and is still taking care of me post surgery. He is a wonderful Doctor and awesome human being! A good man to have in your corner. Thank you Dr. Gallivan

Dr. Gallivan listened carefully the problem I was having with pain. He studied the MRI, explained the results and referred me to Pain specialists and Neurosurgeon. I wasn’t expecting this, so he was very compassionate and reassuring.
