My first appointment experience with Dr Looby was very pleasant. Dr Looby provided a history of my arthritis condition and also inquired what I was experiencing. Very professional and personable to have a conversation about my condition and diagnosis. Dr Looby is close to my age so we seemed to connect with our values and principles. I appreciated the way he offered me the decision for the type of care for me to make a informed decision. Dr Looby is a very respectful person both in how he carried himself and also in how he communicated with me. These types of things are all part of what it takes to have a good treatment outcome. Thank you Dr Looby!

Dr. Looby is very personable and thoroughly explained what to expect.
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.
