Dr. Gilligan and his fine efficient team have restored my faith in New Mexico’s healthcare system while returning me to an active healthy lifestyle. Dr. Gilligan was the 3rd Orthopedic surgeon to lay hands on my knee but the 1st to recognize there was a lot more going on than just degenerative changes. I had a serious infection that completely sidelined me. Dr Gilligan diagnosed it and quickly put a plan and team together (that included Infectious Disease experts) to address the very painful situation. 8 weeks later I’m back in the land of the living enjoying physical activity and the things that mean the most to me. Dr Gilligan’s team (& most especially his care coordinator, Carrie Ritchie,) were — & remain — available to me at every turn in the process, no matter how small the question felt. I couldn’t be more grateful or relieved.

I have had two hip replacements with Dr. Gilligan and had a great experience both times. He and the Lovelace office and hospital staff were great; took good care of me and answered all my questions. The recovery was better than I hoped, due to Dr. Gilligan’s expertise.

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.
