Dr. Gibson performed emergency surgery on my broken hip in March 2025. I had my one year follow up today. I have made a full recovery. Dr. Gibson provided excellent surgerical skills as well as excellent medical care in the following months as I recovered. He was unwavering in his advice as to how to proceed which turned out to be the exact care and advice that I needed. He was thorough, thoughtful, supportive, efficient and on point. Thank you Dr. Gibson for your skills and support. I am so grateful that you put me on the road to a full recovery. I can't thank you enough!!
