Dr. Damion Valleta, DO

In 2020, I was blessed to be referred to Dr. Valletta and his team for hip replacement surgery! During COVID, he and his team, three months apart, replaced both hips! I was home the next day, totally pain free, and able to climb the stairs to our bedroom. The team’s follow-up was outstanding. They carefully monitored my healing! Today, three years later, I continue to be pain free, and not aware that I have chunks of metal replacing both hip joints! Simply, amazing, and life changing! I could not have asked for a more competent and caring surgeon than Dr. Valletta! He is very skilled, precise, careful, sensitive, efficient, effective, and personable! His team, including Ms. Gaston, PA-C, Ms. Wilson, MS, ATC, and X-ray tech Susana, are equally impressive and to whom I am also very grateful! This Doctor and his team have made my senior years pain free and more enjoyable, greatly improving my quality of life!

Damion Valleta is a superb orthopedic surgeon and has assisted me on numerous issues with still one to go that another orthopedic trauma surgeon performed at UCSD, which was my first MISTAKE. However, Damion was out of town and I needed trauma surgery immediately. RUN don't walk from UCSD ortho dept. Stay with Damion Valetta as he does not churn patients, is fantastic at his job and truly cares about his patients. San Diego's best and finest orthopedic surgeon. Thank you Damion !!

Both my daughter and husband have had wonderful care under Dr. Valletta. My daughter is an athlete and has had numerous injuries and he is so thorough. I wouldn't take her to anyone else!
