He is a very very good Doctor and Surgeon. He knows what he’s doing and he is great at his job. And he’s always very nice and explains everything in a way that everyone can understand.

Seemed distracted and after being an hour late. He left early and left his pa finish the visit. All he did was look at X-rays. He could have done that via phone. Didn’t even look or check my knee Seemed odd I get he has been doing this a long time. But everybody is different

Great communication with what was needed / expected to get the knee working again
From Dr. Looby It seems like a career in medicine has always been my destiny. My grandfather and great grandfather were small town physicians in South Dakota and my dad was a practicing OB/GYN in Sioux Falls. As a youth, I suffered three broken arms from various injuries and then blew out two knees playing football that required surgery. So I guess my interest in orthopedics was inspired by first-hand experience. I will be honored to serve you and your family for their sports medicine and knee and shoulder reconstruction needs.
