Dr. Gibbs and his operating crew took very good care of me and my knee. Dr. Gibbs took great care in explaining the type knee replacement he was going to do. I was able to walk on it the same day. Keeping my knee cold and some good stretching exercises made the difference. Dr. Gibbs has a good staff helping him so the experience is very satisfying. They took great care to get the xrays right as well as the MRI and Cat scan. I appreciate the care I received.

I have had 2 operations performed by Doctor Daniel Gibbs so far. An ACL replacement and a knee replacement. The Heiden Orthopedics staff have been accommodating and kind people to be assisted by Dr. Gibbs is extremely skilled and extentive in his surgical treatment. Pain management has been a struggle and seemingly difficult battle post surgery, but the staff does work with you as best they can. I am extremely grateful for his professionalism and skills during all of my visits, treatments and surgeries. I confidently recommend Dr. Daniel Gibbs, his and Heiden Orthopedics based on my experiences.

I recently had rotator cuff surgery and Dr. Daniel Gibbs was my surgeon. First, my surgery was successful and it is my sense that he is an excellent surgeon who is a master at his craft. Second, he was patient and pleasant as he took the time to answer all of my questions. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to him for possible surgery. Throughout the entire process, I was confident that I was in good hands. Finally, the entire staff, including the PA's, the medical assistants, and the administrative staff at the Cottonwood Heights location were professional, courteous, and helpful.

I had been experiencing a ton of pain in my left knee two years post surgery, as well as my right. I heard a ton of good things about Dr. Gibbs & decided to make an appointment. Right off the bat he was super nice and informative. He addressed all my concerns, making me feel heard! After ordering an MRI he was able to pinpoint why I was having so much pain in my knees and gave me a ton of options. We decided the best option was to move forward with surgery on both of my knees. Currently post-op and have never felt better! Dr. Gibbs is an amazing surgeon, I highly recommend seeing him if you’re having similar issues! :)

Dr. Daniel Gibbs was the best surgeon I've ever worked with and I highly recommend him. In January I tore my medial meniscus and was unable to fully heal the tear with physical therapy, so in May I contacted multiple practices in search of a surgeon who would consider performing a meniscus repair instead of the more common, easier-to-perform meniscectomy, and Dr. Gibbs was the only surgeon willing to consider the repair as an option. Dr. Gibbs and his assistant Kate are very knowledgeable and they made me feel comfortable during the initial visit, during the surgery, and during any follow up care that I needed to ensure I was doing well throughout the entire process. He performed a successful meniscus repair on me 5.5 months ago. I was back on my mountain bike (cautiously) and hiking at 3 months post-surgery, very active at 3.5 months, trail running at 4 months, split-boarding at 5 months, and am now doing multiple activities a day and couldn't be happier.

I visited Dr. Gibbs for a climbing injury (ruptured distal bicep) that happened early on a Friday morning. I called their office and was able to get an appointment only a few hours after the injury happened.

Dr. Gibbs was quick to recognize what the injury was. He answered all my questions and was good at explaining the surgery that I would be getting and what to expect after surgery. We were able to get surgery scheduled for the following Wednesday. With this type of injury it is better to get it fixed sooner rather than later.

Surgery went well and I had no pain at all after the nerve block wore off (~20hrs). After the splint came off (9 days later), my arm was fairly stiff but that's expected after no movement. Dr. Gibbs was there to show me a picture of how bad my tendon was, what size hole he had to drill in the bone and what he did to my tendon to get it re-attached. He told me to go home and take the tape off and take a shower. When I did that I noticed 2 stitches sticking out fairly far. I wasn't sure what to do with them but I figured they were dissolvable so I left them there. After a couple weeks I was getting curious about when they would fall out or if they should have been pulled out. So I emailed Kaitlin (his aid) she was quick to respond and let me know what I could do with them.

I've been working on getting my rotation and flex back into my arm for a couple weeks now and that's been a little hard to get it back to 100%, I'd say I'm about 90% at the moment, but I am able to straighten my arm fully with out any stiffness, which is what I was mostly worried about.

Dr. Gibbs, overall has been great to work with and I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends that have this type of injury.

Dr. Gibbs an excellent job with my total knee replacement surgery. Very little scarring. I love his practice and his entire staff. They are the best! I would highly recommend and refer them to anyone.

He has been fantastic! Both of my children had hip and knee injuries. He was knowledgeable and knew exactly what was wrong. He wasn’t over zealous and recommended surgeries for their injuries. When we did decide on the hip surgery for our son, he was thorough on follow up appointments. He referred us to a top notch physical therapist and got us in immediately for rehab. Nothing but positive from start to finish with both children. We trusted him so much that we referred our niece to him when she started having knee problems.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of Dr. Gibbs and his amazing team at Heiden Orthopedics. Dr. Gibbs performed a successful knee surgery on me in July. He is very patient and knowledgeable with and exceptional bedside manner. He thouroughly explained the knee surgery process to me, step by step. I was back up and fully functioning within 5 weeks after the surgery. I am very pleased with the outcome. I would also like to express thanks to Kate for her assistance in the paperwork process. She helped me file all of the necessary info for insurance. I had a 5 star experience with this team. Thank you! I would highly recommend Heiden Orthopedics as your preferred Orthopedic specialist.

My knee was really bothering me and I was not able to get in to see the sports medicine doctor that I normally see. A friend of mine told me to go to Dr. Gibbs as she had a great experience. I was able to quickly get in to see Dr. Gibbs. He was able to diagnose the problem and defined a clear pathway for recovery. My knee is significantly better thanks to Dr. Gibbs

I went to see Dr. Gibbs over the holidays for a nagging knee problem. He was great he made me fell very comfortable about the state of my knee and all of my options. He clearly knows what he is doing and I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Gibbs is amazing! I was told I had to have a full hip replacement and I got a second opinion with Dr. Gibbs. He actually took the time to ask the right questions and do the right testing. I ended up with a torn labrum and an impingement that took 2 tiny holes to fix. I was off crutches in 48 hours and back to life in 2 weeks! But the thing that really impressed me is that he, personally, called me the day after surgery. He is so smart and so caring and you get best of both with him.

I had an appointment with Dr. Gibbs about wristband hand pain. Right before my appointment, my babysitter called saying my 4-year old had fallen and may have broken her arm. On my way to my appointment, I picked up my baby to take her to the emergency room after my appointment. Dr. Gibbs noticed my baby’s distress and x-rayed her arm at the same time as my wrist. He found there were 2 breaks and recommended we go to the children’s hospital for treatment. Thank you, Dr. Gibbs.
