Dr. Gallivan, took the time to listen to me, do a full examination, review my Xray's and MRI images and provided me with his expert opinion on next steps. While this sounds exactly like what you would expect a Dr. to do, it was NOT my experience with two previous Dr.'s which is how I ended up in Dr. Gallivan's office. He was knowledgeable, direct and clear on what the next steps should be. I am confident that I am in good hands going forward and am grateful to have been recommended to him.

Bill is the best! He has done my knee replacement and taken care of me for years! I would not want to go to any one else!

Everything is clearly planned in advance. Treatment and follow up are carried out by the plan. No surprises. I’m 73 and regularly hiking and going to the gym and we travel internationally. I plan to keep it up for a good long while.

Everyone in Dr. Gallivan’s office is friendly, kind, and professional. Dr. Gallivan himself is personable and so very skilled. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients, and he works to ensure the best outcome possible. I couldn’t be happier with the result of my knee replacements and with the care I have received.

Excellent surgeon and office staff! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. I love my robotic knee replacement and I use it everyday to swim, walk, and do reformer Pilates. Thanks

Dr. GALLIVAN has been recommended by extremely professional people, in the physical fitness field. I met with another very good doctor first. But when I met
Dr. GALLIVAN, I felt complete trust in him. He is also a fun person.
