I actually never met Dr. Looby. I only met with his PA who gathered my information and then proceeded to have a conversation with Dr. Looby outside of the room. I guess based upon their conversation he came up with his diagnosis even though he never laid eyes on me. I could hear their whole conversation outside of the room, I would guess that the whole Clinic could probably hear them too. I know I could hear the conversation in the next room when the doctor was in visiting with that patient. I did mention it to the PA when he returned to the room. He's also a loud talker so that adds to the problem. I felt this was a violation of my HIPPA rights. The appointment felt hurried too. It seemed like if they couldn't give me a quick injection of something they were ready to get me out the door and pass me on to the next specialist. I realize they have a schedule to keep

Great with his assistant and with the final visit with him was good
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.
