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….

Extremely favorably impressed with Dr. Gallivan. It was the most thorough and complete examination, discussion of alternatives, and recommendations on treatment that I've ever had from an orthopedic surgeon. To top it off he is particularly engaging, friendly, and highly pleasurable to chat with. I would highly recommend him. I look forward to being his patient.

Dr. Gallivan is a wonderful human being. He's kind, considerate, knowledgeable &
answered my questions. He's also an excellent surgeon. He replaced one
knee 2 years ago, no problems, no pain. In a week he will be replacing the
other knee. I highly recomment him.

I feel like it was a waste of time We had to rush to make our 3:30 appointment. Dr Gallivan told Phil he would call Phil’s Cardiologist re the upcoming surgery.
It was a very rushed visit that probably could have been handled by a phone call.
We were given the option of changing our appointment to 2:30 but that would not work for Phil so we kept the 3:30 appointment but it was obvious the doctor was rushed It may have been better to have rescheduled

Dr Gallivan is the best Orthopedic surgeon in town. Several years ago, he did my left foot complete knee replacement with excellent results and now we are preparing for a hip surgery. I highly recommend Dr Gallivan to anyone who may need a knee or hip replacement and looking for a great outcome.
