I would not recommend this doctor, is not thorough and does not get the job done. Low level of care.

As good as they get... Highly recommended by his colleagues, and I can see why. Aside from his great knowledge, expertise, and high attention to detail, he's extremely kind, generous with his time, & clearly cares about his patients. I'm so grateful that I was able to see him. read more

This review is for the front staff, I like the Dr. but oh man those ignorant ladies at the front desk. I had a follow up appointment at 11:45 am (takes them forever to schedule) and was running late. Called them before to let them know I'll be running about 10-15 minutes late. The lady told me "ok, I'll make a note." Only to find out they turned me away because it is 12:02 not 12:00 pm and Dr. is gone to LUNC. I could either wait until 1:00 pm or reschedule the appointment. Such a poor way of treating patients, if you care enough say it over the phone so people know what their options are. Save your time and money, find care elsewhere. read more

second of 3 surgeries by dr d az usual everything went well, including the humorous conversations we had during the procedure my first procedure was a couple of years ago, he had to completely reconstruct my thumb , works great my next procedure will be reconstruction of middle finger which is a mess, but he and his partner are the ONLY dr's in the country that do this , confidence level is high, expectations are good, and I expect results will be stellar and yes I'm prejudiced, I refuse to let just any surgeon work on me. i tell people do your research and choose your physician wisely , No complaints here , read more

I saw Dr. DellaMaggiora for an issue I'm having with my hand. Both he and his physician's assistant, Spencer, were smug, arrogant, and condescending. They dismissed my concerns and fears and jumped straight to recommending invasive surgery despite not being able to identify what was causing the issue. Dr. DellaMaggiora then referred me out to a neurologist whom I am unable to schedule with for a month, and is outside of my Blue Shield PPO. Just to consult with the neurologist Dr. DellaMaggiora recommended it will be $1200 out of pocket. The female physician's assistant, Spencer, seemed inappropriately gleeful to tell me I would need surgery leaving a massive scar on both my arm and wrist. Given this shocking and upsetting news I began to cry and both Dr. DellaMaggiora and the PA stared at me wordlessly for a full minute. I got a referral to a different doctor from a trusted friend as I never want to return to his office, but hoped to get started with some occupational therapy for my hand. Dr. DellaMaggiora flatly refused to give me a simple OT or physical therapy referral. I had a very unpleasant and discouraging experience at this office. I left feeling more confused and scared about my health. read more

Dr Dellamaggiora is one of the most compassionate, warm, kind, doctors that I have ever met. He incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything that he's doing and answered all of my questions. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. I needed to get a shot in both hands for trigger thumbs. I was told the shot can be very painful. I felt almost nothing. He is truly a healer and a highly skilled doctor. I recommend it with zero reservations. read more

Dr. Dellamaggiora was kind, compassionate and very competent. He fixed my wrist which I shattered falling down the basement stairs while visiting my sister-in-law in Missouri. I had no complications and have had no pain since the surgery. read more

We are disappointed with the doctor's staff at Cedars Surgery center Cedars-sinai. We arrived, as told, at 8am and surgery had been scheduled for 10:30. We checked in by at 8:00. Nobody had even come out to check and give us a update. At 11am, the woman Told us That he was just going in to another surgery. So angry about this. We were there for 3 hours without any word of where we stood. We finally just left read more

I am a physician that was referred to this physician by my Primary Care Physician for my hand and tendon injury, First I was seen by a Physician Assistant and did not get a clear plan of action, then I insisted to see the Dr Dellamaggoira and he was in rush and did not get to my questions and he insisted that I need surgery immediately without much of explanation and said that the Medical literature recommends 50/50 to get the surgery done. Then he gave me his surgical scheduler number and left the room. He was offended that I requested to see a physician instead of the Physician assistant. I left the office more confused than I entered. First of all, after getting a second opinion from another surgeon, I realized that surgery was not a good option and I did not need any procedure at all at this time and my injury on my wrist will heel naturally. Second, the minor surgery that I was offered by Dr D, is a 15 min office procedure from beginning to an end, and he insisted to have the surgery done in OR. PS. I had a laceration on my wrist three weeks before that had a suture that irritated my skin, to be Honest as an Internal Medicine physician I have done procedures in my office much more complex than a suture removal. My conclusion here is that this doctor is not professional and allows financial issues over-powering his medical decisions. The rest is up to you... read more

Everyone recommended Ryan Dellamaggiora, and I'm very pleased with him, his staff and the way they communicate; especially with other doctors they may recommend for other procedures. Im grateful for this smart and intuitive doctor, who did a procedure on my hand yesterday. Highly recommended and great personality. He gets the job done and very professional and well mannered. Thanks to him I can use my finger (hand) properly again. He is the doc to go too!!! read more

Dr Ryan Dellamaggiora is not honest or up front regarding his pricing or the cost of his services. I was charged $487 and $363 (see receipts/invoices attached) for a virtual visit, more than any other physician I have been to. When asked what his prices were, he was dishonest and could not quote an amount. read more

My brother-in-law is an Orthopedic surgeon, but lives far away. He warned me to expect pain with a procedure. Dr. DellaMaggiora is a gifted physician. He is very thorough with exams and did an amazing job. You can talk to him and he will listen. It is a real privilege to have met him. read more

Dr. Ryan is the nicest, most qualified hand surgeon. Not only is his bed side manner high quality but he performed a top notch operation on my hand. I'm so happy with the results. I had torn a ligament on my thumb. He wasn't aggressive in pushing for surgery, he recommended I get it. He thoroughly went over X-rays and the MRI with me on my visits. He presents himself as calm and tidy. He was super gentle handling my wounded thumb! He never hurt me. I decided it healed as well as it could on its' own and that wasn't good enough so surgery was what I decided on getting. His assistant, Spencer is super nice as well. I highly recommend Dr. Dellamaggiora! His staff is nice too. read more

Just I want to say, my wrist and my hand was all broken bones in some pieces, and now is like new. Some times I forget I have surgery. This Doctor is amazing. For me is an Angel. With him you feel very confident to ask him any thing and he is very kind, very good listener. Well he is THE BEST. read more

Being a first time patient I was very impressed with the knowledge, time and understanding Dr Ryan had of my injuries. He was totally great in every way possible providing answers for all my questions. He was on top of my case and managed it well from the start. I'm still being treated and I'm very pleased. I would highly recommend him and his team for any hand or wrist injury. Spencer his PA-C was really helpful and made my visit more comfortable. She's a great asset! My only complaint is my time is just as important as the doctors staff and that's what appointments are for. read more

Unfortunately after waiting since April and receiving a $550.00 bill I have to find another doctor and start all over again. Ryan didn't bother to return my call, nor did his staff. My doctor also followed up and spoke directly to Ryan. He never called me. He did however become TRIGGERED when my doctor called to follow up. He stated if she wanted to handle it she was welcome to! God complex with no self esteem? Maybe the $550.00 will be helpful for Ryan to purchase a spine, a backbone or ethical values? Is this discrimination, patient abandonment or? I'm in constant severe pain from the lump in my wrist and it grows worse every day. I finally got another appointment with a different doctor and have to wait one month for that first appointment to start over. read more

I am so fortunate that my hand was operated by this excellent surgeon, Dr. Dellamaggiora. He is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but he also has much compassion for his patients. I have never met such a caring doctor like him in my life. He fixed my troubled hand which was the result of a previous surgery done by another physician. By the time I called his office for a consultation, my pinky finger was dangling and I couldn't lift it up. I explained my problem to the operator and she connected me to his nurse who somehow squeezed me in for the same day. When I opened the door to his clinic I was overwhelmed with the number of the patients in the waiting room; I really appreciated that they were able to put me in on a crowed day like that. Dr. D greeted me with his warm smile that really comforted me. He examined my X-ray, put his finger at the bone edge of my hand, and immediately believed that the cause of my pain was due to a rupture of the tendon. He ordered a MRI for further evaluation, and on the next visit he confirmed that the sharp edge was created by the former surgeon cutting my tendon off. He laid out his surgery plan and discussed all questions with me. The surgery went very well at Cedars Sinai Hospital, and he was able to effectively connect my pinky tendon to my ring tendon for long-term function. He also ground down the sharp edges of the bone and stabilized it with a strong suture. My recovery was great as well- the pain was gone on the 4th day of the surgery. His skilled and caring nurses changed my cast every week and hand therapy started after a month to give my hand strength and improve movement. Today marks 3 months after the surgery and I have full use of my hand without any difficulties. This is truly a miracle and blessing for me. Dr. D has a busy practice but he never forgets to comfort his patients. All of his staff- physician associate, nurses and receptionist are very professional and kind as well. They work hard to support this wonderful, 5-star practice of Dr. Dellamaggiora. read more

I previously rated Dr. Ryan Dellamaggiora well below average since I left his office after waiting an hour pass my booked time and still not being called in. Dr. Ryan Dellamaggiora did call me back a week or two later and apologized for not getting me in on time and not addressing it right away. He did offered me an immediate appointment at my convenience. I thanked the doctor and I explained that I saw another doctor already. I was impressed that the Dr. Ryan Dellamaggiora himself took the time to discuss my case with me and did not asked one of his staff to handle it. Dr. Ryan Dellamaggiora was highly recommended to me and I would not hesitate to seek his advice in the future. read more

Dr. DellaMaggioria is the best. He has treated a variety of my tennis injuries, with patience, at my insistence to continuing playing. The latest was a torn rotator cuff (brutal) and complete tear of the bicep tendon (same arm), both which required surgery. I don't want to say that the surgery was a "walk in the park" but I recovered faster than I thought. I was a very compliant patient, listened to what he told me to do (and not to do), went to lots of P.T., and was back playing tennis after 4 months. One thing about Dr. DellaMaggioria is that he tells it like it is. He is amazing. You will be in great "hands" with this doctor and his office staff. read more

I have to write about Dr Dellamaggiora because it seems a lot of people need surgery for broken wrists, and I cannot imagine a better surgeon than Dr. DellaM. It has been less than a year and I have virtually full mobility back after literally severing the two bones in my wrist from my hand. One bone had to be rebuilt with titanium. I was really afraid of not being able to use my hand again. And I am over 60, so even more concern about recovery. Today my scar is barely visible, my mobility is fine, there is a bit of stiffness sometimes but it keeps getting better. As well as having incredible skill, he's a nice guy; he's reassuring but honest, and his staff is helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. The PT care after was very, very caring and helpful. I chose to go elsewhere that was a little cheaper, but really what got my mobility back most was constant pilates -- hope that helps others. read more

Both Doc D and Kulber along with the staff at Cedars are not to be compared to. Such quality and the caliber of care are quite astounding in this day and age. You can go there knowing you are in great hands and stop worrying. PEACE OF MIND! read more

Dr Dellamaggiora is the best of the best! I'm so grateful for the amazing job he did for my son when he severely dislocated his thumb. After all day at the ER we left with his thumb still out of place and he was in excruciating pain. The ER dr tried several times unsuccessfully to get it back in place and said he would most likely require surgery. Dr. Dellamaggiora was able to maneuver it back into place without surgery. We are still in treatment but things are looking great. He made my son feel so comfortable, and you can see that he is very confident and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. read more

LOVE Dr. "D"! He's the Best! I'm so blessed to have Cedars Sinai, Ryan DellaMaggiora MD (Sports hand orthopedic surgeon/specialist) as one of my "go to" medical professionals in my life! Happy to find out my left arm does not need to be amputated, even though for past couple weeks it's been "hurting like the dickens". Tendinitis will require rest, ice, massage & stretching for next 6 weeks-then on to strengthening! read more

Best doctor ever. I had a surgery with him and he did a fantastic job. His staff are great too.

I have only good things to say about Dr. Dellamagiora. He knows his business. He made me feel very comfortable. His office was efficient. I got lucky when he was on staff for my emergency room visit. read more

It's a shame that the caliber of staff Dr D employs to support his practice, does not reflect the quality and caliber of care he delivers. Dr D is a 5* practitioner - sadly, his staff are less than sub-par and are a disservice to him In good conscience I cannot leave a 5* review due to the poor customer service from the front desk and nurse read more

Ryan is a superb doctor. His compassion, patience, and kindness are surpassed only by his outstanding skills. He is the best of the best.

My 9 year old daughter slammed her fingers in a car door a couple of years ago. Our pediatrician realized that she need a hand expert because my daughter is a high level gymnast. She got us an appt with Dr. D. His bedside manner during this incredibly difficult time was A+. Though I am sure the majority of his patients are adults, he was very warm and knew how to talk to my daughter in a way that consoled her and did not talk down to her. The fingers healed beautifully. We got personal attention and never felt rushed. Sometimes appointments were not easy to obtain on a moments notice but, I attributed that to Dr. D. being one of the best in his field. read more

He is the best! Kind, caring and knowledgeable. We got Dr. D by luck of the draw when we had to go to ER at Cedars for a dog bite. I couldn't have chosen a better doctor for my 90-year-old mother. He takes his time with his patients, explains the procedure clearly and is respectful of the patients wants and needs. And, he runs the most efficient office I've ever visited. His staff are equally friendly and knowledgeable and make the visits fun with the follow-up needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon. read more

Dr. D is excellent. He takes time to answer my questions and address concerns. He backs up when I need to understand something better. Matthew does splints and casts like the pro he is, all the while helping to keep me calm. The scheduler for surgery could be nicer! It's not so great to have to talk to Daisy - actually, I'd rather avoid it. Everyone at the front desk is kind and helpful. Most importantly, I am on the mend and know I am in great hands with excellent medical care. read more

Dr DellaMaggiora is fabulous...underpromises and over delivers! He gave me a Cortisone shot yesterday (not fun, always painful) he said I'd notice improvement in about a week. However, TODAY the pain I'd been experiencing for almost 2 months has decreased from a 7 to a 2 and normal use of my thumb, without grimacing (which I will never take for granted again), has improved from a 3 to an 8. Dr. D has been a patient, kind, informative communicator despite multiple visits of me putting surgery off for at least 3 years, (as symptoms worsen). I've finally scheduled my much needed surgery and am confident that Dr. D is the best surgeon I could hope for. read more

Unprofessional. It took nearly two full business days, and four separate phone conversations, half of them redundant, just to get my request for an appointment to see my fractured my hand declined. Unless I want to wait two weeks until the middle of next month, which is pretty irresponsible to even suggest someone with a fractured hand wait half a month for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. I had a chiropractor specifically recommend Della. I will be notifying him also of the unprofessional conduct. Reading the other reviews here, I see my experience with this doctor is common. read more

Dr. Dellamaggiora is the best doctor I have every gone too. He truly cares about his patients and really listens . I never felt rushed during any appointment. He is also a miracle worker. I have full use and motion back in my wrist (way beyond what was expected). I am so full of gratitude for Dr. Dellamaggiora. read more

I hear the first reviewer's point on Dr. D's office running behind. They do. That said, he's a phenomenal physician who is absolutely worth the wait. (And I say this as an impatient former New Yorker.) Not to mention, he's part of a bigger orthopedic/hand surgery office; the front desk isn't exactly a reflection on his quality of care or skills as a doctor. I have a lot of frustrations with the state of medical care in the US these days. Dr. D is not one of them. Rather, he's a shining light in a frustratingly flawed system. About a year and a half ago, I landed myself in the ER after an unfortunate run-in with some broken glass. I walked in with a bad cut on my finger, thinking I needed stitches, and a few hours later was informed that I'd hit a tendon and would need emergency surgery, in the next 48 hours, and that my right arm was going to be in a cast/splint for a couple months. Not exactly the news you want to hear when you're right handed, own a business that requires a lot of typing and writing, and are supposed to be flying cross country for a conference the next day. So I called my PCP and left a message that I wanted a referral to a hand surgeon. Maybe an hour later, Dr. D shows up. And I knew immediately that he was my guy. First of all, you don't get employed in a specialty group at Cedars if you're a hack surgeon. The guy is good at his job. This particular surgery, as it turns out, is pretty technical and the results speak for themselves. He's an expert. But more uniquely, he has a spectacular, empathetic bedside manner. I'm usually a pretty levelheaded person. But that day in the ER, I was a mess, trying to figure out how I was going to manage this surgery (and the PT recovery) and a business without losing my mind and a few clients. So for 10 minutes, he sat and talked to me about what this injury meant to my life, and how we would figure out how to navigate that - not just the surgery, but the many months of followup it would require. The next day he fixed my hand, and wonderfully articulated both what the surgery would entail (beforehand) and what exactly he had found/done (afterward). He even quizzed me to make sure I was listening. (I was. Phew.) When I went in the following week for my physical therapy assignment, he said something that stuck with me, "PT is like a marriage. You can both be great, and not be great for each other. So if you don't like the team I refer you to, tell me and we'll switch." As it turned out, his referral was perfect. My recovery happened right on schedule, maybe even a little ahead of it. Really, the only thing torturous about the process was getting the 50+ intricate surgical stitches taken out, which was surprisingly and excruciatingly painful. The medical assistant sent in to do it....well honestly, she's lucky I didn't kick her in the head, everything about her from her technique to attitude was alarming. (First, she stretched out my arm to exactly the position the doctor told me to avoid to prevent re-injury, and started to take 50ish stitches out that way. I immediately stopped her. Then, as she stabbed my swollen and very sensitive hand repeatedly with sharp tweezers, while refusing any sort of numbing agent, she implied that I was overstating the pain because it was "not as bad as childbirth." Wait, so you don't know protocol, and your pain threshold for removing stitches is LABOR? Ok, we're done, please leave.) But again, not blaming the doctor for this, this wasn't his shortcoming. Rather, when it was clear I was not pleased, he wasn't either. He came right in, calmly took over, numbed my hand while coaching me through that entirely unpleasant process, made sure I was ok, and then got someone more experienced to remove the stitches. I had to go back to the office probably 3 or 4 times for followup appointments post-surgery. A couple times I had to wait a little bit, and a couple times I didn't. But EVERY time, Dr. D greeted me with a huge smile, questions about whatever we'd talked about the visit before (PT, recovery, hobbies, work, or otherwise - he remembered it all), specifics about my healing progress, and detailed instructions for getting full functionality in my hand as quickly as possible. By the end, he was so excited about the results, he was taking photos and video for his own lectures on the subject. And to be clear, I didn't feel like he spent too much time, but rather just enough to demonstrate that he was listening and cared about my recovery. As I joked with Dr. D at my last appointment, I hope I never *need* to go back to his office, because that means I've done something stupid that requires surgery. But if I needed to, I wouldn't hesitate. read more

Dr. Ryan Dellamaggiora is as excellent a surgeon and human being as you get. He cares for his patients the same way he would care for one of his family members. It is obvious that this surgeon is extraordinary in every way. I entrusted my life to him during my surgery and would again if need be. You will not find a more competant surgeon or caring doctor. We are lucky to have access to this surgeon and at a young age, I am certain, that this doctor will affect positive significant global change. read more

In addition, Matt, Dr D's cast person and right hand man makes sure everything goes smoothly and efficiently. A master at coordination of OT, prescriptions, casting and the behind the scenes work, making it all seamless and all done with a smile. Thank you Matt! read more

Dr. Ryan DellaMaggiora is outstanding! I would give him 10 stars if I could. I had terrible hand/arm pain due to a fall earlier this year. After visiting the emergency ward, a neurologist and after several pain prescriptions which I did not take, and 3 chiropractors, I finally found Dr. Ryan. I was beginning to think that I would be living with chronic pain for the rest of my life. Dr. Ryan performed a couple tests and sent me to Joubert PT in Beverly Hills. I wasn't a big believer in PT, but stuck with it. My physical therapist was amazing. After 2-3 sessions, my pain subsided. Dr. Ryan also has a lovely bedside manner and is an excellent listener. It may take a while to get in and see him, but the wait is worth it! I would highly recommend him. His staff is also very professional. read more

Dr, Dellamaggiora is amazing! He really cares about his patients! I had a deep cut in my hand that got affected after the ER. A good friend recommended me to Dr. D and he made sure to open up his schedule and see me almost everyday for 2 weeks to change the bandage, clean it out and monitor its progress. He always took more caution than simply disregarding the cut. I could tell he cared, and he took his time. He caught the infection before it was too late, saved the day! read more

How anyone can give Dr. Dellamaggiora anything other than 5 stars escapes me. Sure, there may be days when the office is running late and we have had to wait, but most days we get in within 15 minutes of the appointment time. We've been to orthopaedic offices where the norm is a one hour wait! Rude staff? I didn't see any of that. Every nurse or tech we dealt with was outstanding, knowledgeable and very good natured. Now to the doctor. I can count on one hand the number of physicians I have felt this positive about. My wife was thrown from a horse and had extensive damage to her elbow. When she was unable to get an appointment in our part of Los Angeles, Dr. Dellamaggiora's office was great about finding a time. He was very detailed and patient with his exam and when going over the x-ray with her. He explained exactly what was wrong and why. After confirming his diagnosis with an MRI, she scheduled surgery with him at Cedars-Sinai (That was another experience that also deserves a 5-star rating). Prior to surgery, he came into pre-op, sat down and explained exactly what he would be doing and asked if she had any questions. Surgery went perfectly and she appears to be well on the mend. Other than his outstanding surgery skills (which has been confirmed by multiple other physicians at Cedars-Sinai) is his exam room and bedside manner. While his visits may be short, they all feel like you have his undivided attention. He always sits down and LISTENS to what you have to say. His discussions are direct but peppered with humor and compassion. If we ever have a need for an orthopaedist for another shoulder or elbow problem, this is the first doctor I would call. read more
