Dr. Lobby, Joel, and Gretchen are absolutely the best team I have had the opportunity to work with. Thank You for helping me through my medical adventure! You all make it much easier and less painful!

Joel answered most of my questions, and Dr. Looby was pretty business like. I guess I am not trying to find a Dr. for his personally, just one that does a good job.

Great job by everyone in Brookings. Dr. Looby and staff took the time to listen and understand our questions/concerns. The Doctor and his entire staff were caring, polite, and kind.

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

Very informed discussion and didn’t seem rushed at all as he answered all my questions I had.
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.
