I recently passed the five year mark following right knee replacement. Post physical rehab, I've had no problems with my knee. I'm quite satisfied with my outcome as I've hiked an additional five-hundred miles on the Pacific Crest Trail since surgery, with a goal to complete the entire 2,600 miles. My left knee is showing signs of wear, and will likely be replaced. I'll want Dr. Gallivan to perform that procedure, as well.

Dr. Gallivan, thank you so much for the excellent surgery on 2/12/2024 that has led to relief and continued healing due to your expertise.
Dr Gallivan and his wonderful staff provided excellent care with the best treatment and advice.
I highly recommend this practice.
