Dr Gilligan is a top notch surgeon and ortho doc with tremendous skills in the OR and office. He replaced my 68 yo right hip 2/16/2023, and now it’s been a year and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. His entire staff (assistants, X-ray techs, front desk) are all professional and cordial.i also want to thank the surgical personnel pre-op, post-op, and after I got to my room. I don’t know the names, but they all contributed greatly. A special thanks to the anesthesiologist who stopped by pre-op and explained that aspect, very reassuring. If my rt hip gives out, I have every confidence Dr. Gilligan will get me back on my feet. Again, thanks to all.

Dr. Gilligan and his entire team were simply the best. He performed a total hip replacement for me a year ago. I am extremely pleased with the surgery and after care, and can confidently state that my hip couldn't be better. I just am sure to do modest physical training a couple times a week, and my range of motion and strength are excellent! I wish he did shoulders also, but I appreciate that his focus on hips keeps him at the tip-top of his game and technological advances. I am an engineer and tend to have lots of questions. Dr. Gilligan had them all answered leaving no room for me to have doubts or unknown concerns entering surgery. I recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Gilligan is a thorough, thoughtful and more than anything knowledgeable doctor. He’ll listen to your questions and give you the good, the bad, and the ugly in a language you can understand. I love the fact that he’s young, and went to Medical School in the past 15 years learning the latest and greatest methods. And he’s friendly, and not full of himself as some doctors can be.

I just had my 1st appointment with Dr. Gilligan to see if he would accept me as a patient for an anterior method hip replacement. He was very personable and empathetic. He not only spent time fully explaining what was currently happening to my hip and what surgery could do for me, but also really listened to me. There's nothing better than having a doctor who really listens!
