I thoroughly enjoyed my first meeting with Dr. William Gallivan, MD He was very thorough, and thoughtful, kind & fun. I was going to go to someone else, but changed my mind after meeting Dr. Gallivan. My guts told me he was my best choice. I have complete faith in him. Three of my other Doctors also verified that he is one of the Very Best.

I am ever so Grateful to have had Dr.Gallivan perform a total knee replacement on my Left Knee After just a few days I asked myself why did I wait so long?? Thank You Dr. Gallivan for Being The Best Orthopedic Surgeon ever. Respectfully, WAZ

Dr. Gallivan performed a knee replacement surgery for me. The outcome could not have been better. His various protocols for recovery, as well as his use of robotics during the surgery, have made this a very positive (and mostly pain free) experience. He and his whole team are professional while being friendly and caring. I’m preparing for a second knee replacement and have confidence that this will also go well. I highly recommend the Orthopedic Institute of SB.

Dr. Gallivan listens to my concerns and takes the time to answer all my questions. He is thoughtful, patient, friendly and focused. The surgery was successful and the follow up has been thorough. I am having a second knee surgery with him soon and know it will be as successful as the first.

I am so glad I chose Dr. Gallivan for my hip replacement surgery! I received great information and support from him and from his staff, every step of the way. I especially appreciated his anesthesia protocols; I was awake and comfortable during surgery; which I found fascinating and reassuring. tweleve weeks after surgery I was back on my horse. Thank you Dr. Gallivan!
