I returned to Dr. Gallivan for a check on my left hip. I fell on the treadmill and sustained a hairline fracture. I have completed PT and hoped to get a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, the x-ray technician was out so I could not get a new x-ray; Dr. Gallivan examined my gait, my strength, asked about my PT, and said he was confident I could resume activities. I return in February for a 1-year check on my right knee replacement (done by Dr. Gallivan), and he will review x-rays of both knee and hip then. He is professional and personable; I asked him to show me on a skeletal model exactly where my fracture occurred and he readily explained exactly what I did and how it affected my balance. I recommend him highly.

My go to orthopedist for years with myself and my husband. Excellent in all areas; diagnostics, explanation of findings, and a plan that would be a plan for your individual needs. A highly skilled surgeon along with being a personable caring communicator. All of these fine attributes only attests to how fortunate I have been to have Dr. Gallivan in my life.
