So glad I went to Dr. MacGillivray for a second opinion on my knee. Gave exactly the advice that I wanted. Looking forward to my follow up appointment. Always go to HSS for ANYTHING orthopedic.
John D.Verified patient
The appointment was very quick. I wasn’t sure the questions asked or quick examination were sufficient for the diagnosis. I will be looking for another opinion

Listened and was well versed with my issue
June 11, 2025Michael T.Verified patient
This was the first time I'd seen John MacGillivray, MD, and if I ever needed another knee evaluation, I'd go back! He was very straightforward and direct, but also nice with a sense of humor. He told me what I suspected was wrong with my knee (I fell on it and got a bone bruise) and told me to let pain be my guide as I recover. I loved that sensible advice.
June 5, 2025Elizabeth R.Verified patient
He gave straight forward approach on my issues and gave me some good exercise tips to provide a better range of motion for my shoulder.

Staff is particularly helpful, efficient and responsive. I have now had a shoulder a both knees operated on and would highly recommend Dr. MacGillivray and his team.
GFVerified patient
He looked at my MRI's and spotted the issues right away I will be heading for surgery on the 18th. I am confident my issue will be taken care of he was highly recommended.
February 28, 2025Maria D.Verified patient
Excellent. The doctor was not only knowledgeable but also patient and kind. Sharp. I can be stubborn and dense and am not always the best listener. I was hoping against hope I could somehow avoid surgery or have a less invasive procedure. The doctor was up front and reassuring. I felt like I could trust his opinion. Can’t beat that!
February 22, 2025Barbara C.Verified patient
Excellent physician in an amazing hospital. Office staff was friendly and very professional. Efficiently run practice with minimal wait time from the waiting room to the exam room. HSS is the ONLY place to go for orthopedic issues.

November 7, 2024Carolina D.Verified patient
My knee acted up right before a 2-week European vacation, during which we planned to walk a lot. Dr. MacGillivray went out of his way to treat my knee the morning of my flight. I never would have climbed up those medieval towers without him!
I've seen Dr. MacGillivray a couple times in the last decade. He has fixed the problems, leaving me pain free.
TFVerified patient
great!
October 4, 2024Joshua F.Verified patient
Dr. John MacGillivray is the TRUTH. Excellent bedside manner and warm and sincere communicator. The first doctor I've seen in decades that spoke to me as a human being instead of speaking to my MRI and ignoring the complex person in front of him. His intelligence, curiosity, openness, and direct manner make him the ideal doctor. I truly wish I could go to him for everything not just my knee issues. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. And the office staff members are perfection. Good natured and efficient. I always say you can tell the quality and character of the doctors by the happiness of the office staff. Their good spiritedness makes it clear that Dr. MacGillivray and the the other doctors at HSS not only take care of their patients but also their staff. I came for a second opinion and Dr. MacGillivray made my first doctor look like a first grader...no shade. ;)

Doctor MacGillvray answered all my questions about my concerns with my knees . Had several knee operations with him and the outcome of the surgeries were a complete success. Thank you o the whole team from the office to the operating room. Felt very comfortable throughout
CMVerified patient
I have had three surgical pocedures over 21 years by Dr. MacGillivray and all 3 had a wonderful outcome with little pain and a quick recovery. The final one was a total knee replacement. By p/o day 3 I walked without aids and today, p/o day 15 I walked my first mile.
Super grateful for his wonderful care and expertise which made this recovery possible.

Dr. McGillivary is super attentive and a great listener. He always addresses my concern in an easy to understand matter. In short, he’s a fabulous doctor.
