Dr Looby gets an A++ in my book. He treated me with respect. He thoroughly went through the scans showing injuries and the surgical repair of my rotator cuff tear and bicep tendon as well as the removal of arthritis. I am aconfident in his expertise and years of experience. I never felt rushed and he answered all my questions. I will recommend him to friends and family and my doctor at Sanford.

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.
