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. Regina M.

Went in for consultation for a hip replacement surgery and had a great experience with Dr. Gallivan, Jill & the entire staff there. They could not have been more helpful, attentive and professional. I found Dr Gallivan himself to be extremely engaged, inquisitive & humorous and he took much time & care in assessing my condition and explaining things clearly, something I have found to be so uncommon in this day & age!
