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.

I had a Mako Total Knee replacement March 2, 2021 with Dr. Gallivan and team at Santa BarbaraCottage Hospital. I was given a Epidural and was fully awake during the procedure. I came home the same day and slept like a baby that first night. The procedure was very pleasant and am going in for my second knee June 29th of this year. I have had in home and on site therapy and have 130 degree bend in my knee and am very pleased with the results. In fact, I am so pleased I am having my second knee done June 29th of same year.

Dr. Gallivan and his staff are hands-on good communicators and make the visit very productive and informative I wouldn’t consider any other orthopedic group in town and I refer to any friends in need of a good surgeon to go see Dr. Gallivan
