Patient Reviews
May 05, 2022
At Oakland's Trauma Center where I was taken after a fall with dislocated shoulder I was assigned and given an appointment with Dr. James DiStefano, orthopedic surgeon. His surgical practice is in the Alameda Hospital which I had never heard of, my known and well-reputed set of hospitals were in Berkeley/Oakland. In short, Dr. Distefano recommended surgery, and I requested time for 2nd and 3rd opinions. He gave me referrals and sent me a copy of my shoulder's X-rays for the other experts to review. They all agreed with Dr. DiStefano. He and his office staff have been attentive and responsive. He has taken whatever time is needed to answer my questions, show the progress of my surgery on X-rays, etc. I recommend him highly.
