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.

friendly office staff. Dr. Gallivan was cheerful and explained what might be wrong with my shoulder but would need further testing with an MRI. Second appointment was set up easy.

Dr Galavin and his team provided excellent care. I had a very positive outcome for knee replacement. I’m 1 year out and I’m back to skiing climbing with practically full range of motion. No more pain for climbing stairs or mountains. Thanks so much to The Doctor and his team.
