I love the guy! His work is so precise. My right leg is in excellent shape; Dr. Gallivan replaced both my knee (2015) and my hip.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first meeting with Dr. William Gallivan, MD
He was very thorough, and thoughtful, kind & fun.
I was going to go to someone else, but changed my mind after meeting
Dr. Gallivan. My guts told me he was my best choice.
I have complete faith in him. Three of my other Doctors also verified that he is one of the Very Best.

Dr. Gallivan is a Gift to Humanity.
He has Magic Hands, A Genius Surgeon’s Mind and A Huge Heart.
I am ever so Grateful to have had Dr.Gallivan perform a total knee replacement on my Left Knee
After just a few days I asked myself why did I wait so long??
Thank You Dr. Gallivan for Being The Best Orthopedic Surgeon ever.
Respectfully,

Dr. Gallivan performed a knee replacement surgery for me. The outcome could not have been better. His various protocols for recovery, as well as his use of robotics during the surgery, have made this a very positive (and mostly pain free) experience. He and his whole team are professional while being friendly and caring. I’m preparing for a second knee replacement and have confidence that this will also go well. I highly recommend the Orthopedic Institute of SB.
