My husband was a long time patient of Dr. D's so I knew him from attending many of his appointments. He always treated me with kindness and compassion and answered any questions I had. He recommended physicians for me when I needed them. When I was in the hospital for any reason he always came and visited me and would say he checked my file to make sure I was being taken care of properly. I was never in as his patient but he took the time to always make sure I was ok and to quiet my...

I used to brag that I was patient 124 in Dr. D's 40+ year practice. Debbie Lloyd overheard me and said "Kevin, you are actually patient 24 as the accounts were numbered beginning at 101." THE COMPLETE PHYSICIAN I always copied Dr. D on tests results no matter who the ordering Dr. was. On Friday, June 12, 2015 I had had an annual exam with my primary and had sent Dr. D the toxicology results. My home phone rang about 5 PM and Dr. D's familiar voice was on the other end telling me...

I used to work around Dr del giacco. He is a very compassionate and loving Dr. I always would say to him to keep up the excellent work and he would always say you to Richard. Dr. Del giacco will missed by all staff at saratoga hospital. He was always bright and cheery. I worked around him for 10 years. I felt so comfortable working around a man after gods own heart. May god hold his entire family and friends in his arms and beyond the grieving process.

Desi was a talented and caring physician whom I had the pleasure of working with for many years under Bill Addison and Maureen Kelsey. His wit and humor were always a welcomed addition to the Board of Trustees and the numerous committees he chaired. Credentials Committee meetings were never the same without him. His white coat was always filled with cookies and candy....as he whirled around the hospital with the coattails following him. Desi and his compassion for medicine will never be...

Dr. Delgiacco was the man who saved my life 11 years ago. Where others saw a critical patient with little chance of survival, he saw a life worth fighting for. We spoke in February on the 10 year anniversary of my survival. He told me how proud he was of me, I told him nothing would have been possible without him.

I met him as a fairly lost 23 year old. Knowing him inspired me to use my gifts to help others. After he saved me I became a therapist and then an attorney and...
