Dr Gallivan, through the years has treated everyone of my family. My daughter at 9 years old needed hip surgery 3 days before Christmas. He performed the surgery at night when we arrived. She went on to ballet, jazz and tap through High School.
From rebuilding a knee from a ski accident, to bicep surgery, and horse injuries, Dr Gallivan is the best. Next up, a knee replacement.
Dr Gallivan has a personnel touch. He explains, takes his time, and is always there when you need him.

Dr Gallivan has been very thorough and caring. He has helped me make an important decision about which knee to do first. My surgery with him has given me a new lease on life.

Dr. Gallivan always takes the time to address all your concerns. He does not rush you as many other doctors (in my experience) do. I actually look forward to seeing him getting the information I need to make an educated decision about my care.

Dr.Gallivan was quite efficient to act on taking X-rays on my head, once
Explained why I was to see him. And explained to me the result of
What he saw on the x-ray. Very efficiently handled!
Only regret is that my husband’s call for the physical therapist…….no reply due to the weekend ! (As I was anxious for the pain on the neck area to be
Treated soon….
