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 very impressed with Dr. Gallivan's expertise in performing my total hip replacement on 1/31/2025. 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.
He demonstrates his concern for his patient both pre-op and post-op.
I plan to return in June for a full knee replacement performed by Dr.Gallivan and assisted by his caring and well trained staff. staff.

Everyone at the office was very caring. I was extremely stressed about the upcoming knee replacement. They understood how I felt being afraid of getting a spinal.
Even in the hospital Dr Gallivan came to see me & see how I was doing.

Dr Galiivan is the best orthopedic person that I have ever been to, had a knee replacement 10 years ago...it's been FLAWLESS...no issues,no problems at ANY given time. Being a tile/stone mason who is really tuff on the body...says it all. HE IS THE BEST

I had to have knee reconstruction in February of 2024 and couldn’t be happier. I had the best care from Dr. Gallivan and Adam. My surgery and recovery were painless. I highly recommend Dr. Gallivan and his team.

My wife and I had separately scheduled appointments with Dr Gallivan on Monday, hers at 9 am and mine at 10:45. When we checked in, they said Dr Gallivan could see us together at 9! Very thoughtful and efficient. First my wife had her x-rays, then she saw Dr Gallivan while I was getting my x-rays. Perfect! And Dr Gallivan took time with each of us so that we understood our problems and asked all our questions. He is a great doctor/surgeon and the office is very well managed. Five stars!
