Dr Gallivan is great. Instead of scheduling for surgery, he suggested we wait and give it more time. I feel I’m in good hands. Office staff is excellent

Very positive. I had very good news from Dr. Gallivan that my left humorous “is healing”. I am continuing to use my ultrasound everyday and will be back to see my Doctor in 8 weeks.

Every meeting and visit to Dr. Gallivan’s office has a very positive experience for me as a patient no issues there my only concern is that Amanda girl at the switchboard she seems a little out of it I think she goes to USC

I was hesitant to call Dr. Gallivan for total knee replacement but when he confidently told me that I would actually “enjoy” the experience—if not, have “fun” with it—I began to have hope! I have known Dr. Gallivan for many years, since he put my seriously shattered wrist back together after being hit be a car. And I can truthfully say I actually enjoyed the experience and that the results of his work are 100% positive. I totally trust Dr. Gallivan and respect his intelligence, work ethic and natural outlook on life.
