Dellamaggiore Eugene D, MD

I saw Dr. DellaMaggiore about 2 months ago for an elbow pain. He was thorough with his examination and gave me a few options from letting it go for a few weeks, PT, or cortisone shots. He saw that I wasn’t too excited about the shots so we decided to go the conservative route. I’m glad he didn’t push the shots. That made me feel better. I would recommend Dr DellaMaggiore to anyone with sports type injuries.

In July of 2014 I had a total right knee replacement done my Dr. Dellamaggiore at O’Connor Hospital. I suffered for many years with knee pain and this surgery was my last resort. One year later, my knee is as good as new. Dr. Dellamaggiore and his staff, Julie and Stephanie, the physician’s assistants are amazing. I can’t say enough about their talent, professionalism and compassion for their patients. Again, on October 26, 2015 I had total left knee replacement and today had my staples removed. Dr. Dellamaggiore is a gifted surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has knee issues. I have several weeks of PT ahead of me for the second time around but I’m more than confident I’m going to have excellent results with my left knee as I did the right knee. Saying thank you to him doesnt seem like its enough. I can go on and on complimenting him and his staff.

I’ve been to see Dr. Dellamaggiore 4 times for a problem I’m having with my wrist. One of my visits was with his physician’s assistant Julie.
Doctor D made me feel very comfortable and assured me that I could continue my exercises and that I should make a complete recovery. He also spent time explaining the options I have, including surgery.
Doctor D seems conservative in his approach as at my last visit it was looking like surgery might be in the cards, but my wrist was better at today’s visit, so we decided to give it more time.
I’m an engineer/​researcher and do a lot of research on the internet and had lots of questions. Dr. D was happy to explain in detail how the surgery works and was able to answer all of my questions.
The staff is very nice, and physician’s assistant Julie is quite knowledgeable and has performed a minor procedure my wrist perfectly and without pain several times.
I was having pain between appointments and was somewhat concerned and just dropped in. They reminded me that appointments are preferred, but then I was able to see Julie within maybe 15 minutes. This was highly appreciated.
I recommend Dr. Dellamaggiore for your sports related injuries.
PS. Dr. D also has a great bedside manner. Not only is he very knowledgable about his art, he was also born and raised in the San Jose area and will chat-​up the local establishments. I told him I like a good burger and he turned me onto Willow Burger which I plan on visiting soon!

Actually I didn’t get a chance to discover if he’s a good doctor or not — I couldn’t handle his office. His office is quite frankly the worst medical office I’ve seen in my life. They began by forgetting about my appointment. One day I call them on the phone and schedule and appointment, next day they call me about insurance and in the conversation they mention that I don’t have an appointment. I re-​schedule and re-​arrange my plans. Then I schedule a surgery, they tell me they called my insurance and everything is OK and I go on a business trip. I come back from the business trip on Friday and I met by a letter from my insurance saying they that insurance isn’t going to pay for the surgery because among other reasons MRI doesn’t show a tear or I didn’t complain about the problem long enough. I am baffled, because office people said they checked with insurance, MRI shows everything and I complained about the problem in May. I spend the weekend worrying and trying to imagine what my plans are going to look like now. On Monday I call Dellamagiore office’s folks and they tell me they cleared this up with the insurance LAST WEEK. It’s beyond my understanding why they couldn’t call me and let me know. I tried to ask but they couldn’t even understand what I am complaining about. A day before my pre-​op appointment hospital people call me and explain that Dr. DellaMaggiore’s office scheduled my pre-​op on the day when no one in the hospital is available. Apparently DellaMaggiore’s people didn’t clear it with hospital people. Hospital folks re-​schedule the appointment. Next day I am getting a call from DellaMaggiore’s office asking why I didn’t show up for the appointment. I am explaining that the hospital folks re-​scheduled and I don’t know what I was supposed to do and why it is my fault that DellaMaggiore’s folks don’t talk to hospital folks. And then DellaMaggiore’s office cancels my surgery! At this point I am already happy it worked out this way. If the good doctor runs surgery the same way he runs his office I’m better off with somebody else.

As I had previously experienced 2 failed surgeries for my knee, I really didn’t know which doctor to go to for my shoulder pain. Thanks to Unilocal, I found Doctor Dellamaggiore with 5 stars rating, I decided to give him a try. From the first examination, I already gained confidence because of his detailed check up, as well as the explanations for my torn rotation cuff. I decided to stick with him for my surgery. My torn Rotation cuff is very serious, thanks to Doctor’s excellent skill and experience, my surgery was very successful. I am fully recovered after 6 months.
I also want to praise all his office workers, Every time I called, there was a live person to answer and resolve my request (not recording like most other office). They are fast to prepare the documentations I needed for insurance company and others would patiently reschedule my appointment when asked.
It was an extremely satisfying experience. I highly recommended Dr. Dellamaggiore to anyone who needs a good doctor.

My Achilles Tendon surgery was done by Dr Dellamaggiore about 11 years ago. I had ruptured it practicing martial arts and went through the normal channels to get a diagnosis. I do remember snippets of my interactions with him and he was very informative, did all of the right tests (and later, an MRI) to confirm the diagnosis. His description of my upcoming surgery was very good and he gave me an option of either having the incision right down the middle or off to the side. Attention to detail like that was very comforting knowing how much I was going in very uncertain on many fronts.
Skip to about 6months later and after followups and PT, I was able to continue my martial arts and was able to compete in the US National Kendo Championships. Skip 11 years later and my repaired tendon is still doing great. I can still practice, run, play basketball, etc without problems. The only thing that reminds me of the surgery is the scar and the bigger than normal looking back-​of-​my-​ankle, but other than that, I am pretty much back to where I was pre-​surgery.
If he is reading this Unilocal review, I wish to thank him for his dedication to addressing my questions at the time, his professionalism, and the attention that he gave me post surgery.

Dr. Dellamaggiore did a carpal tunnel release on me and I couldn’t be happier. He was perfect from pre op all the way to post op. He is a good communicator, thorough and very articulate. I would never have anyone else do orthopedic surgery on me. He’s the man. He sets the bar for excellence. Go see this man with confidence.

Dr. DellaMaggiore has done Carpal Tunnel Surgery on my wrist, and I have had great results. If/​when needed, I will have him do my other wrist as well.

Dr. Della Maggiore performed arthroscopic surgery on my right knee last week for a fairly large lateral meniscus tear, and after just 8 days, I feel like a new man. The pain is gone and my mobility is nearly completely back. I had a similar surgery 20 years ago and the results were not nearly as positive as this time around. He was excellent to work with, his staff including his PA Julie, are very attentative and my outcome appears to be outstanding. At the post op appointment, they took me through the before and after pictures, explaining in detail all of the issues they faced and how they were handled. I walked away feeling very confident that I will have a quick and full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Della Maggiore.

I met Dr. Dellamaggiore in the Emergency Room when I ruptured my Achilles tendon in a Ballet Class in Apr, 2011. He was very patient and explained to me about the pros and cons of the options of going with surgery and non-​surgical option. Being shocked at the first injury in my life, his professionalism and warm comfort made this trauma the best experience it possibly can be under those conditions. As an experienced orthopedic, he not only explained everything in detail as he can but also gave me total attention to my personal preference, without any push to go with surgery. I was so impressed by his diligence on following up with every question and concern I have, which started from the Emergency room all the way until I graduated and no longer seeing him. His dedication, professionalism and caring for his patients are definitely second to none! I highly recommend him to anyone who will ever need to see an Orthopedic Surgeon.

Dr. Dellamaggiore operated on my shoulder and was great. Spent a lot of time explaining things and never rushed. I am actually going to have him check out my neck once my insurance cools off (I have some subluxation and grinding) which attests to my confidence in him… I would trust him to use a scalpel around my spinal cord.

I am a long time RN, very fit but with a number of worker compensation injuries requiring orthopedic surgery. Dr. Dellamaggiore saved the quality of my life in his recent rotator cuff repair on me, just 11 months after I had entrusted my long time WC Orthopedic to do an open repair after my 5.8.09 date of injury. Dr. Dellamaggiore explained to me via the pictures on his laptop the arthroscopic repair he did, how he did it. He is very kind, will answer your questions, and is very fit himself as a triathlete. In addition to my HMO Orthopedic Surgeon who did my ACL repair over 3 years ago, Dr. Dellamaggiore is one of the best Orthopedic Surgeons out there.
