Damore Edward MD Orthpdc Surgery

I just called this doctor’s office on a referral from my pediatrician. All I can say is that
i hope this doctor has loyal clientele because his receptionist is rude.

Office personnel were nice, friendly, helpful. Maintaining high level of professionalism at the same time delegating procedures in a diplomatic fashion with smiles and humor that i found engaging and personally made me feel welcome and relaxed.
Dr. Damore was thorough and inquisitive which made me feel comfortable and also he was informative which will help in my recovery.
He shared medical facts pertaining to my injury that i did not know and i have seen one other doctor, an Orthopedic and a therapist before seeing him. I could tell by his patience and eye contact while speaking to me that he was sincere and I was in the right hands. I look forward to being a patient of his and I promise not to bring back my overbearing, obnoxious friend to stir things up in the waiting room. To be honest my friend/​driver has a heart of gold and does a lot to help the needy and he would give you the shirt off his back. Not because he has 100 more hanging in the closet but he would give you his last. He just has volume issues. :D
Go Cubs!!!

Dr. Damore is the BEST surgeon we’ve ever had. He is conservative, thorough, and extremely attention to detail oriented when meeting with his patients. He’s also got a great sense of humor to boot! My 55 year old husband fell during a trail run and sustained a rotator cuff tear & severed two tendons. Dr. Damore performed the reconstructive shoulder surgery and my hubby is good as new now. Of course, he followed the doctor’s orders to a T, which made all the difference in the world. Dr. Damore also performed bone spur removal surgery on my shoulder and I am doing great. Long story short, we HIGHLY recommend Dr. Damore as an orthopedic surgeon.

Rude!!! the receptionist in this office is so nasty when she calls or when I call there. idk how anyone would want to give this office business with such horrible service! never will go or recommend anyone here again!

Dr. Damore is one of my parent’s favorite doctors. He is friendly, pleasant, listens well and explains options well, and is respectful of my dad’s age (98). Dr. Damore recognizes that it is difficult for an older person to get to the office for appointments and finds simple solutions and takes care of problems on the spot when appropriate.

I just had an appointment with Dr. Damore after two other doctors I personally know and a hand therapist highly recommended him. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I had read reviews on Unilocal and I was a little concerned but this doctor was fantastic. He spent so much time with me he stayed late until 6:00. He’s super friendly and super informative. I’m not even going to interview anyone else after my visit to perform my surgery. I feel 100% confident in him. I had read that someone had issues with the staff and my experience was a 180 from that. The person at the front desk was so nice and the x-​ray technician is so hilarious.

Ask the Dr. About Bone infections!!!
He sent my wife to Stanford to fix his Errors
It took another year to fix!
No I Am Sorry. Run Away

Best Ortho Dr. ever, bar none! You got any ortho problems, he’s the go to guy — he’ll listen to you, do a thorough exam & order right kinda diagnostics. Will treat you with utmost care, & even the staff is so friendly plus professional. I recommend him to anyone, who needs any ortho treatment.

Dr. Damore was friendly, competent, kind and cariing. He examined my hand and wrist thoroughly and listened patiently to my concerns. I did not require any treatment at this time, but am happy to have found him if I need his services in the future.
Also, I found the front office staff to be courteous and efficient.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Damore to family and friends.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with Dr. Demore. The Dr. was thorough
with his explanation of of the procedure that I had done, excellent bedside
manor, very personable with a great sense of humor.
I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Damore has performed surgery on 3 out of 4 of my immediate family members, including myself. We have always found him to be extremely knowledgeable and caring. He has a great beside manner which makes you feel confident that you are being well taken care of. In addition, both my daughters play soccer and have been injured on a number of occasions, and Dr. Damore will always make time for them. As for the front office staff, I know that Dr. Damore has recently replaced most if not all of his staff and I think you will find the office friendly and inviting. I have recommended Dr. Damore to many people and will continue to do so.

Hands down (no pun intended) the most horrendous first impression from a private doctor’s office I have ever experienced.
My chiropractor referred me to Dr. Damore’s office. I called multiple times throughout normal business hours and no one answered the phone. The voicemail greeting from the doctor is very cold, aggressive, and gives you an unwelcomed feeling. I called a third time and left a message, waited two days for a call back, and got nothing. I then decided to try back yet again one more time the following week and leave another message; the result was no call back again.
Upon returning to my chiropractor I told him about the experience thus far from Dr. Damore’s office. I asked him for another referral, but he did not have one in mind. He then decided to call Dr. Damore’s office himself and of course had to leave a voicemail urging them to call me back directly or give him another referral he can start recommending to his patients. Later that day, my chiropractor’s office received a call back from one of the staff who told him they only have room for one or two new patients the following month (approx. 45 days from now) and that I would have to call them again so they could ask me some questions before (aka «screen me»). You would think they would just call me directly to resolve this, not call my chiro and tell him to have me call them yet again! I’ve already done that many times and you have my cell phone number!
Plain and simple this office does not care about you at all. You are just another annoyance and added workload to their job. Their attitudes are «burnt out», disinterested and rude. They think they should not have to provide professional customer service and communication with potential patients. By the way, front-​office staff are usually a spitting image of the doctor and the quality of care you will receive.
Needless to say, I will insist my doctor (or any doctor) NEVER refers another patient here again. Dr. Damore should have retired years ago if he is burnt out and does not care anymore.

The doctor is good, the office SUCKS. They have nobody answering the phone half the time. I spent 2 years and over 10 calls trying to pay my bill. They never answer billing, billing returns calls when you are not available, and then by the time you know it, they send you to collections. Be forewarned. You will see what happens when you get a bill and try to pay.

You people need to get over the front office people.
I am 62 years old and have never been easy on my body. I have seen a lot of Doctors over the years and have had many Cortisone injections. The last one I received was from Dr. Damore, he took the time and checked xrays to get it into the right spot,
(side note: he uses the same xray tech as the other Doctors in the building who is also a great guy, always upbeat),
I will be using Dr. Damore very soon to do the much needed surgery on my right hand.
I would bet a large amount of money that I will not be back to take away any stars from the good Doctor.

Guess it does matter what those other reviews say.
The sad part is I am in so much pain and they are rude and lack attention to the very basic details.
I called in extreme pain this morning and ask, specifically if they took my insurance? anthem Blue cross no problem the girl said on the phone. We can get you in at 11:45 AM.
Wow this is great, not really. I turned down another appointment and set this one up.
Wen I get there the rude girl says fill out these papers standard issue. Filled everything out. Handed it to her and she says
«We don’t take that HMO?» Wat do you mean, i asked on the phone is morning if you took Anthem Blue Cross? You said yes?
Well my wife was with me and works at a Dr. Office. She inquired too «did you ask him if it was HMO or a PPO. She got so rude whit a curt we don’t take that. That is not what I asked my wife said again.
Same smug response. And one more time for good measure very rude, we don’t take that insurance.
So be careful and maybe look elsewhere for. GOOD OFFICE!
Not even an I am sorry I appligize for the confusion, maybe I can help find you a provider? Nothing.
Dr. Is sure hope you fix this situation she is bad for your practice.

Dr. Damore was recommended to us by Dr. Edward Littlejohn, the orthopedic surgeon who repaired both rotator cuffs for my husband, as the best hand surgeon in the area. We have been exceptionally delighted with Dr. Damore. He diagnosed my husband’s carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists/​hands, ganglion cysts, bone spur, and trigger thumb, and thoroughly described the conditions and treatment options, as well as long term effects & recovery. Dr. Damore performed surgery and there has been a complete reversal in pain and symptoms.
We found Dr. Damore to be very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He took time to answer all questions and provide information and resources. Outpatient surgery was a breeze and Dr. Damore’s bedside manner was fantastic. He followed up personally by phone to ensure everything was going well before his follow up appointment.
We had no problems with insurance — everything was handled expertly by Dr. Damore’s office. We did have to wait several weeks for the first available appointment, but once engaged, dealing with Dr. Damore was seamless.

My 13 year old daughter was sent to Dr Damore for an broken wrist. He and his xray tech stayed late on a Friday night to see her. He spent time showing me where the break was (I definitely could not see it), went over our options, and wrapped her cast quickly. When it came time to follow up and remove the cast, we were again treated with the same respect and professionalism. Tracy was great too. Very friendly and helpful.

Hmmm, where do i start?
Dr. Damore is one of the worst i have ever met.
He was…
1) extremely insensitive to his patient’s needs (not at all sympathetic about my condition or pain… his xray tech even joked time and time again that my leg was «still broken!», as if it was funny)
2) unknowledgeable (gave me a load of incorrect, misleading information about my fracture… made me responsible for asking for all information about my fracture, otherwise no facts were given out).
3) unprofessional (had my mom assist in applying casts when he could have easily had an assistant do the job properly… after i got an old cast off, he would make me wait, holding up my leg with my arms for about 10 minutes before he came in to apply a new cast)
4) unskilled (applied casts too loosely, significantly prolonging healing time… applied a short leg cast that cut into the back of my leg, causing an abrasion… waited until a few weeks after the date of injury to «reset» the fracture… had to apply a new cast every week for about four weeks because of his inability to apply a good cast)
All in all, if you’re in need of an orthopedic surgeon for whatever reason, please do some research and ask around for recommendations. Mostly, I recommend that you never, ever set foot in Dr. Damore’s office. Thank you for your time!
