After more than 10 years of knee pain and the lost of mobility, Dr Gallivan gave me my life back.
He told me after surgery that I would like my new knee and I truly do.
I walked out of the hospital with less pain than when I walked in the morning of the surgery.
Thank you Dr.Gallivan and thanks to your staff.

Dr Gallivan is a wonderful Dr. I’m about to schedule my second knee replacement with him. He is attentive and caring which makes me feel very confident and comfortable. I would definitely recommend him as an incredible surgeon. His staff is also knowledgeable and caring.

Dr. Gallivan has been my doctor for 20+ years. I did physical therapy for a knee problem then injections. I finally had very successful knee surgery 1 1/2 years.
I appreciate his compassionate care and his conservative treatment, not suggesting surgery for the first treatment which not needed for over 20 years. He is an excellent surgeon.

Staff seems very competent and all were very friendly. I feel like Dr. Gallivan and I connected very well and am looking forward to working with him and his team. As I mentioned to his scheduler, I would really like to have surgery in early May as my son is graduating from his Fellowship in June in Atlanta and I would like to make that trip. Thank you Dr. Gallivan and Team!

I am coming up in a couple of day's on bejng 4 weeks from my surgery with complete satisfaction and admiration of Dr Galivan and his very capable staff in both of office locations in Santa Barbara and Solvang.
