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.

Dr. Gallivan and his team were extraordinary throughout my journey to getting new knees. I had been suffering from severe arthritis in both knees, which made walking almost unbearable. Dr. Gallivan took the time to thoroughly discuss all my treatment options, ultimately leading me to make an informed decision towards knee replacement surgery.
He recommended that I address some long-overdue dental work before proceeding with the knee surgery. This was something I had put aside for years, but he inspired me to get them done so I can proceed with getting my new knees. Once my dental issues were resolved, he meticulously guided me through every step of the recovery process. Dr. Gallivan referred me to physical therapy to build strength before the surgery and was always available to answer any questions I had.
His clear explanations and collaborative approach empowered me to make well-informed decisions about my treatment. Additionally, his staff meticulously planned my recovery, giving me the best chance for a successful outcome. Thanks to their care, I’m now back to camping, hiking, fishing, and living life to the fullest.
