Reviews for Patrick Gilligan, M.D.
Dr. Gilligan is an amazing surgeon! He took excellent care of me. Now my knee is wonderful
— Kathleen
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.

He reviewed my x-rays and asked specific questions about the effectiveness of the previous steroid injection before proceeding with a second one.

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.
— Howard Green
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!
— Cecilia Clark
If you want a compassionate caring orthopedic surgeon, Doctor Gilligan is absolutely amazing. He is compassionate about what he does. He truly cares and love his patients. I call him the angel in the middle. I can tell you my hip replacement is absolutely amazing. No troubles, no issues... NO PAIN. He did an amazing job. I'm truly blessed to have him Doctor Gilligan, as my orthopedic sergeant, my doctor.. The angel in the middle..

It's a little over a year since the skillful Dr. Gilligan repaired my hip and I feel great. My recovery was unbelievably easy which surprised the heck outa me. Post-op appointments were a delightful experience. He is kind, funny, and helpful. My questions were always answered simply and clearly which is a huge plus. You have my deepest gratitude, Dr. Gilligan. You're simply the best!

Dr Gilligan and his team are amazing! I had arthritis in my right hip. Dr. Gilligan performed my total hip arthroplasty anterior approach. His bedside manner is calm and he seeks to give great information. I am seven weeks out and have a completely new lease on life! The pain after surgery was minimal. I was up and around quickly. I started physical therapy immediately. I cannot be happier with my result, my care, or with Dr. Gilligan and his team. I highly recommend, Dr. Gilligan!

The most amazing Orthopedic practice in New Mexico . Dr. Gilligan has saved my left knee not once but twice with his fantastic skills . The front office and all the supporting medical staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable ! My case was very difficult in 2019 and Dr. Gilligan guided me through it like the true Pro that he is ! Now having had a total knee replacement at the beginning of May I am truly amazed at how well I am already doing . I would definitely recommend anyone needing an Orthopedic Surgeon to go to Dr. Gilligan and Lovelace Medical Group . I just want to thank Dr. Gilligan and his staff once again for the great work they have done for me !

Dr.Gilligan was very professional and spent about 25 minutes with me answering questions and explaining things to me. He did not make me feel like I was a waste of his time nor rush me. Thank you.

The Surgical Team that I've met at Lovelace Medical Group, is extremely Professional in my opinion. I was treated for osteoarthritis which is severe and destroyed both hips. Doctor Gilligan, the Surgeon who did replace both hips, made me feel at ease prior to the surgeries. I was up and walking only a few hours after the first, and my apprehension dissolved completely. The second was the same, resulting in my ability to walk without any assistive devices, for the first time in two years. I have never been cared for by any other Hospital, at 71, which is their Patient Care standard at Lovelace, as well or as completely. I can highly recommend Dr. Gilligan and his Team at Lovelace Medical Towers in Albuquerque, New Mexico!

Dr. Gilligan at Lovelace Orthopedics is a skilled surgeon with an efficient, caring staff. My knee replacement surgeries could not have been better managed. I was fully informed as to what to expect and given explicit instructions in ways to prepare. All this occurred in a most pleasant, friendly atmosphere, making for an outstanding experience.

Dr. Gilligan was very caring, thorough and thoughtful in his evaluations and explanation of my options for my arthritic knee. I chose a total knee replacement surgery and Dr Gilligan did an amazing job. Everything was as he told me to expect. My recovery went very well because of the before and after physical therapy exercises he recommended to me.

I fell helping a client at work. Broke my hip and femur. Was taken to Loveless hospital. I was seen immediately and taken to xray. From there to surgery. Dr Gilligan doing the surgery. Such an amazing Dr. Thank you to all who took such wonderful care of me.
— Sharron Fluitt
I have had nothing but excellent care and service from Dr. Gilligan and his staff. Everyone is extremely helpful and very kind and patient. Dr. Gilligan replaced my badly damaged left hip and I am doing excellent two months out of surgery. My experience was so positive in every aspect. I am now scheduled to have my right hip replaced in May and with Dr. Gilligan doing that one also, I have no concerns at all. He is an excellent surgeon and doctor and I recommend him highly.
— Anthony Jager
