My recovery has been quick with little pain. Dr. Looby is a great and talented physician. The nursing staff at the Brookings Health System were very compassionate before and after surgery which kept me calm and comfortable.

Dr. Looby is just the best. He always makes sure you feel heard and listens to your issues. On top of that he does a great total hip replacement!

Very pleasant and easy to talk to. Not in a hurry and would be willing to spend more time with consult if needed but I felt confident in his mannerisms and ability to do my surgery. Thanks Casey

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.
