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

Dr. Keeps fixing me so I can still enjoy life! I go to the gym working out 3 times a week and 1 to 2 hours of heavy lifting. I'm in the best shape of my life at 65 years old. Dr Looby has 2 hip ⁹replacements, both shoulders repaired, 1 full knee replacement. I'm getting my other knee replaced in December. Thanks for keeping me active!

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.
