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!

Dr. Gallivan is great but the wait time for an examination is so long. I wait nearly 1:30 hours before I could get into an examination room.

One year ago Dr. Gallivan did a complete knee replacement for me. I just had my one-year visit. The surgery and recovery have far exceeded my expectations. He conducted himself as a human being medically treating a human being -- such a rarity in my experience.

Honestly, and truthfully, I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Gallivan. Who is the exemplary in his field of medicine. He replaced my shoulder at 76 years of age. I have no pain and wonderful movement in my shoulder once . He’s very professional, technically brilliant, and has a great personality. I don’t know what else you’d want in a doctor. We are all very fortunate to have such an orthopedic surgeon in our area.
