My brother and I both had our knees done and were very pleased with the results. Doctor Gallivan fixed my hip recently and without his knowledge and willingness to help me i might be in a different scenario today. My hip was a challenge for Doctor Gallivan and really difficult to say the least. But he persevered and after a six hour surgery he did something great for me. Knowing this experience it is obviously clear how he can help his patients with more simple surgeries. PS I asked him about how hard my surgery was and he said the hardest that he has done in God knows how many years he has been at it. I fully recommend Doctor Gallivan.

In all cases from knee replacement surgery to a rather difficult fall and recovery, he has offered good advice with a touch of humor and insights to consider about living a life where we GIVE to others in our community; he does this in his own life! I have noticed that his interests in so many aspects of life in and around Santa Barbara has opened doors to his practice for a wide range of patients who benefit from his skills as a surgeon and someone with well considered insights about living a healthy life. He is “with you” when you are his patient, and you feel comforted with the knowledge that he really cares about you!
