I had TKR surgery two years ago. I am able to do so much now that I wasn’t able to do in 10 years. I am very thankful I had this surgery. Dr. Gibbons was calm, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

dr gibbons performed a total hip replacement on me and for 3 years my hip was in severe pain and I went back many times and he said nothing was wrong. I took the same X Rays to Mayo Clinic and the DR there looked at the same X Rays and said that the peg was loose. That he'd bet a months pay. So after Mayo Clinic did the revision surgery I've had no problems

I have had 2 surgeries from Dr Gibbons. I found him to be courteous and professional at all times. From the 2 surgeries I have had, I feel he is one of the best. He would answer a lot of questions before I even ask. To me, he knows everything needed for surgery and I'm going to have him do at least one more surgery for me.

Thanks to your skill as a surgeon I am able to do the things I love to do pain free. I wanted to attach a picture of the huge buck I got this year for you to see but was unable to figure out how. As a hunter you can appreciate how awesome it is to be able to hunt. I got a 230 lb 8 pointer this year! Thank you:)
