Dr. Matthew J. Maggio

Dentist

Dr. Matthew J. Maggio has been proudly serving the Fort Dodge community since 1986, when he joined his father, Dr. Paul J. Maggio, in practice. Dentistry runs deep in the Maggio family! Paul started the original practice back in 1938, and the two worked side-by-side for 12 years. Dr. Maggio credits his father with teaching him invaluable lessons that went far beyond what he learned in dental school.

Dr. Maggio’s educational journey began at Grinnell College in Iowa and took him all the way to the University of St. Andrews in Scotland before completing his dental training at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Today, he brings decades of experience and a deep sense of tradition to his care, always striving for excellence through collaboration with his team. For him, the best part of dentistry is the teamwork that transforms effort into success and the shared satisfaction that comes with it.

Outside the office, Dr. Maggio is active in community service and enjoys honoring his Irish and Italian heritage through classic recipes and family meals. He even coauthored a book titled Pieces of Eight with his seven siblings as a tribute to their parents and their shared upbringing in Fort Dodge. It’s safe to say that storytelling, service, and smiles are all part of his legacy.
